]]> Thu, 19 May 2011 16:44:06 GMT May ART! JJ Eisfelder http://mudhouse.com/artists/full/may-art-jj-eisfelder/ This exhibit shows the evolution that my work has taken over the past few years from simple wood and linocuts to collagraphs and eventually into what I call “collagraph collages”. The subjects in these prints are flowers from my garden, trees from my yard and abstract views of the scenery that surrounds me and has inspired me over the years.

Through this muddled gazing-ball, we see images struck to the canvas with an intensity that arouses a nostalgic pity and an inkling of fear.

But what influences our perceptions of beauty? Why are some things universally appealing to All or most of us? A sunset. What contributes to that appraisal? How are we swayed or persuaded, or are our conclusions beyond conscious decision making capabilities? Do we love something more, when it makes us happy? And is it therefore more beautiful to us? And who, in the history of the world, defined “Beautiful”?
