Excellent Art 2019 - Exzellente Kunst 2019
This art book presents 31 artists from 19 countries on different continents. Most of them are award winning artists and finalists, others adequate guest artists. We encourage readers to choose any of the artworks in this book and, using our instructions for meditative art observation, deeply and consciously connect with it to experience the unique form of art-induced relaxation emblematic of our “Enter into Art” concept. Based on the visible, specific side of paintings and sculptures, and mostly leaving out aspects related to the artists’ résumés, we invite art lovers to try out this stimulating method of connecting with the artworks themselves. To accompany this excellent selection of paintings, some first-class international haiku poems are presented alongside them. Both original versions and English translations of the poems are included – reading poetry in a foreign language allows us to perceive its characteristic color tones, increasing its intercultural effect. The art and poetry pages give „Enter into Art“ artists the opportunity to present their artwork in combination with their own poetry. The printed book is available in the book trade and in internet bookshops. Hardcover: ISBN 978-3-96103-724-7, Publisher: Re Di Roma-Verlag, Language: English, German, Size: 26 x 21 cm Das zweisprachige Kunstbuch stellt 31 Künstler aus 19 Ländern verschiedener Kontinente vor. Die meisten von ihnen sind preisgekrönte Künstler und Finalisten, andere adäquate Gastkünstler. Auf den Kunst- und Poesieseiten präsentieren die Künstler ihre Werke auch in Kombination mit eigenen Gedichten.
