Circle of friends, where to get your inspiration

April 14th, 2008

I often read about artists and their circle of friends and relatives all related to art (litterature, music, art, poetry, film…) and how together they created new art movement. I recently started a book about the life and work of Pablo Picasso. He was surrounded by artist of all fields but going into the same direction (here cubism). His circle was his inspiration and the reflection of the time he lived in.

I thought it was something missing from my life. Oh, I have friends working in several art fields, but not everyday, not enough discussing about it and the way it’s going. I’m not that much into the art gang. But I made a connection between the café Le lapin agile where Picasso spent most of his time and the internet. The web is such an international art community, it’s so complete. I think I feel more a part of the design slash art web community. I guess it’s now the way modernity is working…
