So much more than art

A friend of mine was showing me some really great art. I know she has impeccable taste, but I was surprised by what I saw. I have seen many of the pieces done by Carl Bloch before but after a quick glance at quite a few of his pieces all together, something really hit me. Sure the art is great, great techniques, color, form, etc... but that is not what makes it IT. Its the feeling. How can you paint something that has so much felling and I only saw the piece for five seconds?
I want to be an artist just so I can figure this out. So I can find the answer to my question.

It's amazing.

So something has been really bothering me for about a decade. In middle school I used to idolize this photographer that made AMAZING pictures. I would look through this book, and all I could remember about it was that the last name had something to do with gold. But today- After many failed attempts to search it out- I FIGURED it out!

The name is Andy Goldsworthy. He is his own artist and his own photographer. See this art is not about nature, it is not about creating a piece of art, it's about how everything works together and in a moment it is beautiful then it goes away replaced with something else beautiful. At least that is what I think.
