Atlanta Attractions 101: The High Museum Of Art
June 4, 2010
Atlanta, Georgia is one of the best places I’ve been to. Aside from being the most populated city in the United States, Atlanta is the third largest city in the U.S. and is known as the top business city and transportation hub of the country (it has the busiest airport too).
With regard to tourism, Georgia’s capital city also offers a great deal to boast about. In reality, most of the Atlanta attractions are even recognized across the world. It is where the worldwide head office of Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, and AT&T can be found. Apart from that, there are tour selections for the Atlanta Zoo, inside CNN Studio, Fernbank Museum of Natural History, The Atlanta Botanical Garden, the Atlanta History Center and the High Museum of Art.
One very famous destination among Atlanta attractions is The High Museum of Art. So what’s with this tourist destination that really draws in a huge crowd daily?
Listed below are three essential factors about The High Museum of Art which in turn makes it really stand out amongst other Atlanta attractions.
* The High Museum of Art is identified as the major art museum inside Southeastern portion of the United States. It is a division of the Woodruff Arts Center (along with the Alliance Theatre, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Young Audiences and also the 14th Street Playhouse).
* “The High” as it is commonly referred to, is home to over 11,000 pieces in its permanent collection. Inside its walls are works of 19th and 20th century American art; European art; decorative arts; African American art; modern as well as contemporary art; photography and African art.
* On top of all of these, The High is a powerful promoter in encouraging self-taught Southern artists. The museum also includes a curatorial division that is particularly dedicated to the area of self-taught art — a distinctive feature among North American museums. The museum furthermore hosts an annual motion picture festival and several special season art exhibitions through numerous global artists.
These are what make The High Museum of Art unique from the other museums that are part of the Atlanta attractions roster. Arrange a trip to Atlanta. Visit all of the Atlanta attractions and find out why The High really stands out!
Atlanta is a fantastic area to see during the summer months. When you’re there, take time to visit the various sites. If you buy your tickets online before hand, you’ll find that you can get excellent discounts on Atlanta attraction tickets. These types of packages include things like High Museum of Art discount tickets as well as deals to other attractions around the area.

What Are Art Paintings?
June 4, 2010
For centuries, people have studied the Arts. Millions of artists have come and gone and paintings have graced the walls of a multitude of homes and museums. The love of art paintings is more than just looking at pretty pictures on the walls. The love of paintings includes knowing, and often feeling, just how past artists created their masterpieces.
If you have ever viewed Leonardo Da Vinci’s Last Supper then you have truly looked at art. Da Vinci’s masterpiece became highly popular virtually the minute he finished the last stroke. The King of France during that period fell so in love with this work of art that he wanted to have the entire wall taken down and moved to France.
Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel has affected people in much the same way. Although not technically a wall painting, it is still a piece of art. The sheer dimensions of this piece are astounding. The fact that he spent four years in creating this masterpiece is even more astounding. The piece is a perfect piece of art.
Whether you enjoy the masterpieces that were created by the most famous artists of all time, or you prefer a more modern approach to art paintings, one thing stands very clear.
The world of art is an amazing and exciting world. From the Revival Period masterpieces to new-age modern art with its often eccentric circles and seemingly endless mysteries, art paintings provide a beautiful way to dress up a wall. From oil paintings to abstracts, these paintings provide the world with beauty and a world of mystery. Artists have been around since the dawn of time. Without them, we would certainly be a much less cultured world, spending far too much time on meaningless tasks and not having the ability to truly appreciate beauty.

Art a term that is used so broadly, not to mention Modern Art comes with varied opinions, revised histories finally noting the women artists of history, and many categories. So, were do we begin?
Having worked in the gallery world for 28 years and being an artist myself I am sure that my views are varied further to say the least.
Contemporary Art, also have many definitions, it can quite simply mean living artists. It has also become a term that catches art that usually is not representational. It also can mean artists that push media to the limits presenting them in a new and contemporary way.
So, art in the modern time encompasses so many things which are exciting, challenging, and controversial at times. This art is a deep expression of the artists creating in a world that for lack of a better word currently dwells on the negative which is often the exact opposite of most artists’ works. It is true that many art images are a direct reflection of the times with images that cry out for social change, this can also be noted throughout history during times of war, and crimes against man and nature.
Living and working in the Santa Fe, the second largest art market in the United States, I tend to look at art as beauty, uplifting and inspiring.
With that said, you can see almost anything in Santa Fe; from the roots of the Native American and Spanish history so very rich in the culture here to everything else. Having the only Museum dedicated to a woman artist, Georgia O’Keeffe, to the NM Museum of Art, and the International Folk Art Museum, and the Native American Museum to name just a few of many.
Along side of the museums are over 200 art galleries making Santa Fe an art center of the southwest. We have the pioneer galleries that brought contemporary art to Santa Fe before it was popular here to now having a very large selection of contemporary galleries including Veilleux Fine Art.
Often times I am asked about how to invest in art, or why to collect a certain artist, of do I think it will match the sofa? All good and important questions as you are selecting something very personal for your home or office.
My response is that you should buy art because you love it. All the other factors will work themselves out. If you collect what you love it will go with the sofa and the artist may be a noted artist in history one day. Of course it is always good to know what level an artist is currently, which is often reflected in the pricing of an artist.
Then there is always the current trend in art which seems to be Asian at the moment, so you will see serge of art in American galleries and museums. I often wonder why everyone hops on the band wagon with trendy art. With that said, there is room for all art as it is the creative expression of the artist weather we appreciate it or not. If art provokes emotion that it truly has done its job.
