Whether it intended to or not, it has always said something. nium found solace in the anonymity of their works. They were masked by technology. This was in response to the facelessness of relationships during that era, which historians' commentary. Perhaps future art history books will say something like: "Artists at the turn of the millen by EVA MICHELLE HUNTER advertisements you take granted today will be the for art history classes in the next century. Mark my words. Graphic design is the new fine art The form. Painters, sculptors and other such "real" fine artists have a lot of trouble with this notion. As do some art historians. And rightfully so. It seems a little weird that something so popularized and commercial even anonymous could be compared to the great works of the Renaissance, the soft aesthetics of the impressionist era, or even such modernist movements as cubism. And yet, at the time, many of these major artistic movements were similarly scorned. One major question is not necessarily that of form, but of materials. Most graphic designers use, by necessity and sometimes preference, the computer as paintbrush, sketchbook, pencil and canvas. This is troublesome because, for the first time in art history, the human touch seems removed from art. It is frightening to consider art works that were printed on a color laser printer and not labored over with bare hands. If art has always been a connection from human soul to human soul, we have placed technology bond between us. Can the soul-sotranscend that? , I believe it can although, art has always carried different messages, varied meanings. Art and life appear to imitate one another. Perhaps historians will one day claim that the message of the turn of the millennium was "Man is dead. He sold his life to the corporation, seeking immortality in his hard drive." And how close this is to the truth. Another common question is that of "fine" vs. applied or commercial art. The division used to be simple: Fine artists create art for art's sake, and commercial artists create art for some other purpose. Artists who create art for art's sake can no longer survive. They have day jobs, or they try to cater to an audience who will buy their work so they can pay for rent and TOWER THEATRE & ASUU PRESENTER'S OFFICE PRESENT: Take in the mountainous view while enjoying a delicious meal prepared right before your eyes.

And creating artwork just to sell it is no different from commercial art in its less hypocritical forms. So today's artists are financially savvy. They have discovered the aesthetic of technology. They are working hard to make it beautiful. Just as you may not have known Van Gogh while he was working on s his paintings, the majority of society does not know the designers who create the stunning visual works that may appear in the form of advertisements or newspaper layouts. But there are whole societies of these artists. They study one another's styles. Among these designers there is a division, an elite. Even in this one professional field, there is a knowledge of who is creating art and who is simply copying. This whole idea, too, is difficult to artists who seem in some way to still cling to modernism. Though contemporary "gallery" art has moved into and beyond the idea of the artistic hero still remains. Visual artists put their names next to their works. It doesn't seem logical that an artist, even a graphic designer, would get no credit in the finished product. Where is the glory? i ' ' . ' " I 'mm.
