While this is often a
description attributed to
mediocre work as
justification for its existence, artistic effect literally refers to the way a particular piece of art will
alter the state of mind of an observer.
Some art is created exclusively for artistic effect.
Blue Panel is a painting that fits into this category. Some "art" is so
straightforward and logical that it achieves negligible effect. Still other art strikes a
balance between
content and artistic effect.
Art defies
categorization, however; good art may be found in any of these three categories, or some unmentioned (
outside or
in-between) category.
In the interest of artistic effect, we will
conclude with the following quote:
"
ice picks behind
needles of
guardian bliss; however naught, besides Howard."
