Best wishes for a creative and inspiring 2023

Does art exist as imitation? Or does life imitate art more than art imitates life? As we transition from one year to another, we embrace the sincerest form of flattery and compliment some of history’s most famous artists. In 2023, may you make art!

The impressionists emphasized light over line. Surrealists gave form to dream. Cubists used…cubes. Is beauty truth? Or, is beauty a well-crafted lie? Is art a representation of truth? Is art about conveying feelings? Or, and bear with us here, is art dressing up like famous paintings and taking selfies? As the saying almost goes, the sincerest form of flattery is poorly implemented imitation. So, as we transition from one year to another, we welcome you to join us in complimenting some of history’s best.
