This text has a story, here it is. I wondered how you could define an artist. Then I tried to give an interpretation of the word art. A person who works on marble, giving it shapes, I must call him a craftsman, or, I am closer to reality by calling him an artist. Until the seventeenth century, the words artist and craftsman were synonymous. Today qualified as an artist the one who practices a manual trade is ironic. Calling a painter or sculptor a craftsman demonstrates a desire to depreciate his work. Everyone claims to be an artist: painter, writer, poet, draftsman, photographer, sculptor, engraver, etc. The word artist encompasses a community of people who are able to transpose elements of reality into their art. An artist is also one who cultivates his art. The artist tends to want to express beauty in a sensitive way. Art is a creation of a work of the mind. In the definition of art that we can find here and there, the important word or the fundamental idea is creation. We shape from nothing. From there, if I say that creation is limitless, maybe I am going a little too far. A barrier or guardrail can contain the creation. To write, if I conceive a story, a fiction that would tell a love story that took place in the concentration camp universe managed by the SS. Morally, it is very difficult, it is inconceivable. This is not desirable. Censor art. the sentence is dropped. Facebook banned a painting by Courbet. Limiting the creativity of the artist may be the dream of a dictator. Art can be subversive. The main theme of this book is there, the limits of the artist. In a family of teachers, we meet three young people over the age of 18. The oldest is in economics, the boy is in higher mathematics, the last who has repeated is still in final year of plastic arts. Study is not its strong point. Parents look with a bad eye, this desired future in art throws a chill. She is the lame duck. For them, the royal road is mathematics, or at the limit economics. The plastic arts are the way of those who cannot do other things. On the one hand, you have higher education. On the other, the plastic arts, and the rest. Nevertheless, the parents have friends who teach visual arts, during an evening, a film and theater teacher evokes trashy cinema, the girl gets excited. This cinema that exalts the base instincts of man becomes the best. Another theme mentioned is the encounters that young people can make on social networks, the wolf can hide behind an appearance of sheep. They will influence our heroine. The rallying word is art, the hook is art, the bait is art. The fish must take the bait in order to shoe it. Another theme: the woman is an object. It is on her that male desire is focused by erasing her personality. Outrage can lead to making the female sex undesirable. Another theme: our society has lost its soul. Family, mutual aid, solidarity, friendship have disappeared. There remains a world that seems abject. Today, to write a love story is to write in the past tense. The story I am telling you is a pessimistic fiction. Desire no longer exists, attraction, envy, these words become meaningless. We have more than impulses for power, for domination. We consume sex like we eat a hamburger. The carnal act becomes a mark of possession, of domination of the other. Taboos fly like in a crazy farandole. Romeo and Juliet would read the works of the Marquis de Sade today.
