Seeing Art

Thinking about today's theme for the #NationalArtsandHumanities month: Hidden Art. How do I post a picture of hidden art? That got me thinking about artists who have spoken on how the block of marble told them what was inside and that they just needed to release the form. A somewhat paraphrasing of  Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni, releasing the angel.

Other artists speak of addressing the plank piece of paper or white canvas. When you have a hand full of pastels, a jar full of brushes, a container of pens and pencils. These are hidden art, they are just waiting to become something.
