I've always had an appreciation for art, in all of its forms. So last saturday I visited Art Central in Summerville, SC for my art appreciation project. First of all let me say, downtown Summerville is an interesting place, quaint, lots of business, good places to eat, and the most important, good prices.
But back to my visit.
As I entered the small art gallery the lady behind the counter greeted me"oh are you here to do your art appre project?" WHOA?! Is this the matrix? "Students have been coming in all day looking for artwork for their projects" oh ok. So I looked around at all the different artist; up to this point it was what I expected: still life, landscapes, animals, portraits..until I came across Yvonne Rousseau (related to Henri Rousseau? maybe) Her work was so versatile: landscapes, abstracts, mixed media. Her work was such a departure from the work of the rest of the artist in the gallery. Who knew that such talent could be found in such a small town? Rousseau is now one of my favorite artists; along side Luke Chueh and Craola. Pics of her work after the drop
