The Accidental Masterpeice Introduction

Introduction

In the introduction of "The Accidental Masterpeice," we are given a brief introduction about the life of Peirre Bonnard.  Bonnard is a artist.  Artists often look for inspirations about the world around them.  In Bonnard's case, he found Marthe, a woman with psychological problems.  When someone has psychological issues, there is a good and bad that comes with having them.

Bonnard was able to depict Marthe's problems by putting them into art.  Everyone has gone through something, or is currently suffering from something.  We're human.  That is how our lives are. Bonnard was able to take all of Marthe's problems and turn them into something that should be compared to two swans swimming in a lake.  That's beautiful.

Artistry is a different thing to people.  Every artist is different.  The actors can convey another person's character, the dancers create a rhythm in a story with movement.  The writers can captivate another person and take them to a whole other world with imagination.  A singer can captivate a performance through the way they act to the song.  The songwriter can take another person away for a few minutes through sound, and lyrics that can touch the fragile human heart.  The filmmaker can show you worlds and images by taking you briefly away to another's life.  And the fine artist can express him/herself through symbolism.

Symbolism a term one might find used in English class.  It is in every aspect of what we do.   For example, the flag symbolizes patriotism to many people.  It is showing you what you want to see and taking you away to where ever you want to go emotionally.  You are seeing through another lens.

Every Artist expresses his/herself in different forms.  It's not only limited to art, others express themselves in different ways too.  Maybe others have more reckless ways of showing themselves to the world, maybe others have less reckless ways.

 You are YOU.  You cannot change that about yourself.  I like to express myself through singing, acting, writing, and songwriting.  That is me.  Nobody can change that about me.  We are our own people.  I am my own person.  How do you express yourself?
