art forms

arge


All

art

is

but

imitation

of

nature.


Seneca

A guitar, made with bits and pieces
of wood, found at the time,
by his father.


Just goes to show,
art comes in many forms

and age is never a barrier

in producing it

Loved that video... and I believe art is a forever thing though we may have to adjust our form as we go.

True folk art is all over isn't it. I am amazed how good the sound is. Thanks CM for sharing.

Coffee Messiah said...

terrill: Yes indeed!

john: World famous that family. There's a Bear Family collection I keep looking for, but they're not cheap. It's a great audio history and btw, I have a friend who makes cigar box guitars and uses all sorts of recycled items = they all sound great!!! Thanks for stopping by!

I do believe that nature is the basis for a lot of art forms-- and the medium should match the artist's expression-- not the other way around.

layers: Am learning that and am in total agreement.
