"Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet,

Praise Him with the psaltery and harp:

Praise him with tambourines and faces,

Praise Him with the strings and organ,

Praise him upon the loud cymbals

Every breath praise the Lord ...

How tatoos became a form of art

How did tattoos became a form of art?

  Japanese tattooing

    Tattooing in the Western world has a long relationship with art. As mentioned by a tattoo critic Max Lodder in his article, tattoos where represented as art. In London Stand Magazine in 1897, there is mention of England , Japan and the United States as the center of artistic tattoos.

"Stockings" of ink. Butterflies are eternal. 1930s.

In 1970, the years in America the media announces a new era of tattoo - because  tattoo masters had art education. At the same time,  tattoo art  moved to a museum - first as an artistic act : the famous tattoo artist Spider Webb  performed a tattoo for Annie Spinkle on the steps of MOMA while the tattoo was banned in New York. Later, in 1977, Ruth Martin, an artist and a key figure of American tattooing underground, made tattoos and showed his work at the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, the tenth of the Paris Biennale. And more and more people -  including experts from the artistic environment - recognize the tattoo is as a fashion, common and also a highly artistic skill.

Art historian and tatoo critic  Matt Lodder analyzes newspaper articles a hundred years ago and came to the conclusion that («People always say the same thing about tattoos») tattoos have never been only for sailors, bikers,criminals -that myth is just perceived from the media.

If we expand the concept of art to a collective concept, which includes street art and graphic design, and, for example, high fashion - (and remember that today, any object placed in the Museum of Modern Art, in part transformed into a contemporary art), the tattoo he certainly is.

And to complete the story, you can remember a smart response from a tattoo artist Fuzi UVNPK to the question of why is his art. On this, recall, he said - "my tattoos are art, not least because you're asking me, whether it's art."

          In the late 80s he began to create artistic compositions that do not fit into any of the modern trends in art. This trend he called "Kosmoplastitsizm."    Kosmoplastitsizm - a fundamentally new, author, philosophy of art, reflecting the search for harmony and beauty in modern conditions of civilization. At the heart of kosmoplastitsizma - the idea of ​​a new world-scale planetary harmony. This idea is opposed to chaos, destruction, natural disasters.

The main meaning of life - it's creative work in the knowledge of ourselves and the world. Opening the different laws, creating works of art that we know about nature, and thus reveal the grand design of the Universe itself. This process is timeless and it brings us to the absolute idea impossibles. Probably the meaning and evolution of the universe is our destination.But this topic is very deep and everyone will have their own idea of it. Here I would like to quote the American astronomer Carl Sagan Edward: "The space is within us, we are made of stellar beings.Us - this is the way the space knows himself." This is the main idea that Dmitry Orlovsky wants to bring us.
