The Art of Sound: Four Centuries of Musical Instruments

When viewing works that have a function, one wonders  whether  there is a critical distinction between art and craft; between creativity and structural formulas; between innovation and “form follows function?” The exhibit at the CAM gathers musical instruments from around the globe and across the centuries with a breadth of styles, technical proficiency, and cultural influences, and stimulates the senses as well as the intellect.

Geometrically Ordered Design: Fantastic Four

“The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible.”

-Albert Einstein

This is my fourth article pertaining to the design field and again it is necessary to distinguish between art and design. Design in essence cannot be accomplished without specific degrees of control, and almost always has a definitive point to make.

George Inness at The Cincinnati Art Museum

I stand before George Inness’s Near the Village, October on the last hot day of June and long for fall. This medium size painting, 30 x 45 inches, seems larger to me. Perhaps its stately frame makes it feel more formidable. Near the center of the painting in the middle ground we see the suggestion of a man in a white shirt leaning against a tree.
