another art thread ;o)
It is not uncommon in the bonsai art threads to see comparisons between bonsai art and sculpture and painting. I do admit that all are in-fact an art. But what ties them together. Are they really comparable. Do the same, or even, similar "rules " apply.
Below I have posted 3 pictures.
#1 Is a real bonsai done by Colin Lewis.
#2 A painting done for me by Carl Rosner.
#3 A fake bonsai. Sorry it is as close as I could come to sculpture and keep the subject matter intact.
All could be considered art (good or bad, your choice) All are bonsai related simply because they show a bonsai. But how could one be used to justify or explain the other.
If you write "in bonsai as in painting" or something similar just exactly what are you saying when you post here.
Do the "rules" of bonsai apply equally to painting and sculpture as well.
Just a passing though from a sick mind on a hot day. Can't help it I forgot my to take my meds this morning.
