Every Picture Tells a Story is a about the family who love to collect and display art. Beverly Keel and Ronnie Steine have collected many pieces of art that has filled house. Because the family had collected and displayed so much art that their house started to appear as an art museum. They have art hanging in every room and hallways. The article shares the family’s passion for art. They both very much enjoy folk art even supporting local Nashville artist. The article also shares many of the other artists whose work they have collected overtime. There gatherings of art can not be called just a collection. I agree with Steine when he states, “clearly, ‘collection’ may not be the right word because it implies a cohesion or theme that doesn’t exist. It’s all very eclectic and a tad odd.” He describes their compilation of art perfectly. Relating this back to the class, from looking in the pictures that were with the article, bold colors were active in a lot of their painting. The family really enjoyed folk art. This article can be related to the Van Gogh’s painting of Starry Night in the sense that he painted because he loved to do it. Keel and Steine both collect art because they love to do so. They both also like collecting art because different pieces of art bring out different emotions. This can be related to the Parthenon in that looking at different pictures of the same building can bring out different emotions.
Great article, these are great people. If i could i would buy art and hang it around my house as style and beauty. the pictures do provide a contrast between different artists.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool, especially since it's in Nashville! (We should try and get a field trip out of visiting it!) I love how they are really trying to support those in the Nashville community too.
