Pilar Bamba (b. 1951) is the August 2006 Digital Color Artist of the
Month. Pilar works with watercolors, collage, oil and acrylic. She
possesses an especially delicate observation of the female mind,
attitude and form. Her paintings present expressionist gestures and
emotive impressionism in a fresh and instantaneous way. Her colors and
faces express feminine spirituality, feelings, hurt and beauty. Her
figures show feminine solitude, joy and heartache.
Pilar is one of the great painters who is able to share emotion and
everything that is woman. Her works have been displayed in galleries
for 20 years, in Barcelona, throughout Spain and Europe and Mexico.

Not in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, she ain't. And who elected you

Don't overlook the entire state of Oklahoma,
which knows art only if it includes a bucking
bronco and a cow-person who can stay in the
saddle more than a second or two.

Well, up here we are plagued by the seascape, the fishing village (funny how
the painters leave out the satellite TV receivers, the humungous 4x4's and
the split level bungalows..), and the ever-endearing old salt in his foul
weather gear, despite the fact that it is sunny & hot, and it's probably not
tobacco in his pipe....
Anyway, always cause for a segue - I was skimming through a book I picked up
awhile back ("Nineteenth-Century Theories of Art", ed. Joshua C. Taylor),
one of the essays in it was Hippolyte Taine's "The Philosophy of Art" (dated
1865), which makes the case for (among other things) the role of natural
selection in art - that successful art of a period & locale represents the
qualities of its social support. He draws an analogy with plants - you can
scatter seeds wherever, but (as in his example) orange trees will spread
where the environment is favourable, which of course will be different from
that in which spruce or pine will grow.
By now it's a pretty familiar theory, particularly in the way Taine used
it - that understanding a culture and its history was essential to
understanding its art. What's more interesting is to turn the theory on it's
head and think of what is really represented by the art of a culture, or
these days a subculture, even if it's the faux-arts rather than beaux arts,
from commercial rap to Thomas Kinkade.

The cows in Susquehanna County are well and happy with proper bone
and muscle structure and rear quarters that are well proportioned. At
least my neighbors tell me, so this is only second hand information.
On my own spread we breed only Arabians. (Thoroughbreds are so common
don't you feel?) As for phones, they either work or they don't. As
for Kincaid, the hostility he has generated in the art world just
tickles me silly. Proving once again the incredible level of pomposity
that has infected the artsy craftsy crowd.
Up your income. Bill.

Historically that's no doubt true. But contemporarily
it's troublesome due to the "globalization" of western
styles and influences. I like to compare the days of
my distant youth, when boys where I live were about
the ONLY ones in the world to wear Levis and Lees to
school every day, along with high-heeled cowboy boots.
Now take a look around, anyplace you happen to travel
in the world. Those cotton tee shirts are yet another
manifestation of a 'style' gone mad - literally - with
the silk-screened logos most tee shirts sport today.
Really...Dallas Cowboys in Beijing??? Or even more
to the point, in war-torn Somalia???
CB
You were lucky, we weren't allowed to wear blue jeans to school at
all....
Agreed re. the globalization, particularly when the shirts are maybe
made in Malaysia and from cloth made in Lesotho...And the culture goes
the other way - from high culture (starting with the introduction of
Japanese and Chinese art to the West almost 2 centuries ago, which
changed the whole theory of Western art) to everyday culture - I don't
know about your area, but our supermarkets are stocked with foods from
all over the world, from frozen chana masala to fresh dragon fruit from
the east. our music is infused with rhythmic structure that originated
in West Africa. Some folks even wear pyjama's to bed (originally from
Persia by way of India...), here we even have the example of our
favorite RAF bigot claiming to raise Arabian horses (though that one I
file with his claims to an education beyond grade 6, or even to being a
Kinkade collector, since he can't spell the old fraud's name right,
despite it being on all his "Certificates of Authenticity" and written
on the prints in "DNA encoded ink")...
In the same book is is Theophile Thore's 1857 essay, "New Tendencies in
Art", which if you can dig it up is also worth a read. The basic thesis
is how modern society is removing the isolationist barriers from the
development of world culture:
"While formerly - yesterday - a people would shut itself up within the
tight confines of its own territory....today it tends to expand beyond
its narrow limits, to open up its frontiers, to generalize its
traditions and mythology, to humanize its laws and clarity conceptions,
to expand its customs and diversify interests, and to spread its
activity, language, and genius everrywhere."
Maybe his biggest error was his optimism, I don't think he realized
what a slog it would be to acheive what he thought would be the evenual
outcome of modernization - the realization that "There is but one race,
and but one people; there is but one religion and but one symbol:
Humanity!"
But it's pretty prescient for something written 140 yeaqrs ago...

LOL! After Louisiana, I live in the largest 'backwater'
state in the USA! And because I live in such a small town,
it's at least a two hour drive to the nearest decent
shopping mall. But hey! I do have a local Walmart store,
where they sell MOSTLY stuff Made in China, and most of
the food products are imported from somewhere - even the
fresh produce! ;->
