Gosh, what a novel idea! But seriously, folks, this space will routinely be devoted to subjective, verbose, biased, polysylabbic babbl ings. I promise. Since I know that my column will inevitably be the one you t urn to first, I should probably make it decipherable. Hie glossary of artsy terms below should help you. Glossary of Artsy Terms 1. genre (john-ra) Pertains to a cate gory of painting that depicts ordinary life (not to be confused with those seen on Real People) and aLso means a par ticular kind, sort, or style of art. Billy Shaffer Example: "Gen repainting in the 1 5th century has become a genre." 2. Abstract (ab stract) My big book has no less than 21 definitions of this word. My favorites (and t he ones that I'll be using in this "space" are:) a. an idea that cannot lead to any practical result, b. action of taking away or separating, "the sensation of cold is due to the abstraction of heat from our bodies " c. a work of art using lines, colors, and shapes without reference to natural objects. Example: This column will be a literal representation of the abstrac tion of ideas from my body." 3. space ( spaase) Not "outer" or the 70s California kind. The land you can fill up with stuff if you want to. Example: "Let's hang your aunt's watercolor in the space behind the boxes in the closet." i. art (rrrt) I think it was either Plato or Orson Welles that said "Art is the thing that's more important than television, but not as much fun ... oh yeah, it's what separates man from beasts, also." For me, art needs three things: an artist, something to look at or hear and somebody to see or hear it. Example: "His felling of the tree in the forest was not art, because nobody was around to see it, even though the cuts were nicely made." 5. figurative (fig-ra-tive) This per tains to a known shape or likeness, usually human. Example: "I ler bronze bust was pure ly figurative, although its scale bor dered on abstraction." A devcted readership is a two-way street. If you promise to read this column, I'll promise to never use the following words: 1. fascinating 2. awesome 3. best 4. Leroy Neiman Deal? See you next week, loyal readers.
