Art Against Crises
Heidi Leitner: Hübsches Mädchen/Pretty Girl
LDX Exhibition: May 22~June 30, 2010
Many European artists have assembled to create an exhibition by the topic “Art against Crises”. For them, the major goal of art is to strengthen the ideals of love and beauty in life, i.e. all positive elements that can be set against any kind of human crises. In many crises situations, whether political or economical, negative influences spread and real values seem to collapse. Art contains, stores and praises the true values which can be described in a depiction of nature, in the abstract version of wonderful colors, in the mythological world or in the beauty of a sculpture. Also, some paintings in “art against crises” confront the viewers with the description of a world how it should not be in order to initiate a positive change in social behavior. “Art against crises” is an exhibition that appeals to both the emotional and the intellectual side in mankind.
