The Academy of our times
   

At Academicpainting the Academy rules. There are just no excuses, no ways of running from the truth. We all know it when chaos strikes us from a rebel panel. It's the secret everyone carries inside when visiting a modern art display. Why do so many people who esteem themselves as art critics live with such deep lies? Why wont their cheeks turn red as they raise such false praises? But a pile of lies will not shove the real thing out of the light. No need to twist around complx concepts.If you like it it's nice, but if at first glance it doesn't seem right...well, why preserve a childish scribble?
The artist should remember that painting gives deep pleasure and if in the end when hung in its gilted frame it brings back images of great paintings and it resembles one in composition, drawing and color, then his hand should be warmly shaken for he has created a timeless work of art
The academy vanishes as a result of the collapse of the monarchies that not only sustained them but had created them. But they should not have been seen as political targets for although many canvases were painted for the ruling classes art was not entirely aristocratic propaganda.
