The Art is indispensable

The Art is indispensable, and even more in these years of financial difficulties

To begin this year of 2013, it seemed to me important, through artist's sculptures, to say and to show as the art is necessary for us.

The sculptures of this page are of Lutfi Romhein (except the first one, of Cécile Déléage Romhein), artist who knows how to transform the wood or the stone into celebration of all the feelings.

And for my part, sculptures are as images, but the sense of which is multiplied by the expression of the volumes (read Michael Stora's quotation, below).

Many other sculptures of Lutfi Romhein can be to view on his website.

And also other photos of his sculptures dating 2014, on these pages.

And just man to finish, some quotations :

Gerard Mortier - Belgian art director of the Opera of Madrid, in front of the Spanish recession : "it is necessary to find a means to distribute the money. We need the art as the bread of the spirit ". - further to the decision of Spain to tax in 21 % the culture for 8 % the sport, he thinks that to encourage the sport to the detriment of the education leads to control the people and to divert him from a deep knowledge of things. (Quotation published in Le Monde of December 23rd, 2012).

Of the psychoanalyst Michael Stora " the image is something immediate, which sends back to the emotion. The paper, more complex, belongs to the domain of the feeling. .../... We can think, bawl and conjugate many verbs in images " (quoted by ' The magazine of Le Monde of December 22nd, 2012).
