Artists scribble, too / I umetnici žvrljaju


































Cy Twombly, Untitled 1970



One of my favourite artists ever is Cy Twombly. And what do you think he does? He scribbles! His whole art is based on scribbling!

Jedan od mojih omiljenih umetnika je američki slikar Saj Tvombli (Cy Twombly). I šta mislite da on radi? On žvrlja! Celokupna njegova umetnost zasnovana je na žvrljanju!

Another artist that I love is Jean Dubuffet. Through his art he shows much appreciation for scribbles!



Drugi umetnik kojeg mnogo volim je Žan Dibife (Jean Dubuffet), koji kroz svoju umetnost, takođe pokazuje koliko ceni žvrljanje.

There are so many other artsits that made their own art based on children art: Paul Klee, Juan Miro, Jean Michel Basquiat, Karel Appel, etc. They all thought that the expression of a child is much more sincere and authentic than the one of adults. Picasso said it took him four years to paint like Raphael, but all his life to paint like a child.

Postoji još mnogo umetnika koji su radili svoju umetnost pod uticajem dečje umetnosti: Pol Kle (Paul Klee), Huan Miro (Juan Miro), Žan-Mišel Baskia (Jean Michel Basquiat), Karel Apel (Karel Appel), itd. Svi su oni smatrali da je dečji izraz iskreniji i autentičniji od izraza odraslih. Pikaso je rekao da mu je bilo potrebno četiri godine da nauči da slika kao Rafael, ali ceo život da nauči da slika kao dete.

Karel Appel, 1959

So why is children's art so undervalued? Why do parents first (among others) undervalue the art of their own children? And why is it that they want to rush them and force to draw realistic drawings, sometimes even prohibiting them to scribble? 
Any ideas why?

Dakle, zašto je onda dečja umetnost toliko potcenjena? Zašto roditelji prvi potcenjuju umetnost svoje dece? I zašto imaju potrebu da ih požuruju i teraju da crtaju realistično, ponekada im čak braneći da žvrljaju? 
Imate li ideju zašto?

I think that parents sometimes encourage more realistic art making, for the same reason parents sometimes rush children into walking and talking. They want their children to be developmentally advanced. Children who draw representationally, early, might be smarter? more advanced?

Yes, probably, I agree with you Jena. But some things just can't be done before it's time comes.
Others probably don't see scribbles as drawings.
