In the last waste week, I watched Katy Hessel on YouTube channel, when her discussed about the importance of art to a life of people. She was born in London (United Kingdom) and she always loved arts. When she was 6 years old, she visited one museum in London and it’s change your life forever. Your parents encouraged her to visit more and more museums. And one day, she was simple obsessed with arts and museums in the general way. She remember to visited a lot of galleries in Saturday afternoons, for examples.
In her vision, Museums generally move your curiosity and make every paintings in the galleries different significance to a determined people who just watching this arts or study too. We’re always going to learn something in this museums. She remember to visited a TATE Museum (United Kingdom) (six or nine times) and just enough time to study and admire all this artists-works very well yet.
She explain she loved free museums, because every person can visit and visit until they feel exhausted. It’s a just magical moment, when one person to have opportunity to feel some different kind of thoughts and ideas about one specific art-work. For example, a men feel different kind of ways than a women when both sides seen a determined and specific art-work in the gallery.
Next chapter of a video, Katy Hessel talking about this tittle of your book, called: The Story of Art Without a Men (best-sellers book of The New York Times) when just created because, she read another book called: The History of Art by Ernst Gombrich, who is a Art Historian but in this book, he’s not mentioned and not included one single women-artist in his history work. It’s a just absurd in her conception!
But Mss. Hessel explain, in the past of history, it’s more difficult to a simple women to be an artists, because they need to a studio, tools and studied very hard to obtain the knowledge to make an art. But another way, the women’s artists deserve this place than men too. But the women just forget in art-history by a historian and writers who make history happens.
In her vision of Art Historian: Katy Hessel, the role of Internet and The Social Media, it’s to democratize arts to a big number of people can possible to do, bring the knowledge to a more number of people too. Because the history of art generally enthusiasm kids and adults all over the world. But to do make happens, we always depend to a teachers scholars to shake our curiosity in relationship of art and life of every artists in the world.
