A Conversation with Artist, Gail Weismann

Here is some more of our conversation with Gail Weissman. We got into an interesting conversation about how to make timeless artwork. Listen to Gail’s response and see if you agree.

It seems to me that we live in such a fast paced society that most people don’t want to stop and smell the flowers anymore. Do think the economy will change this attitude or maybe force some kind of adjustment as activities become more expensive and jobs keep getting cut? It’ll be an interesting time to keep an eye out and witness.

I love what Gail said about the ACT of art-making being timeless. It’s this urge that humankind has had forever and, I believe, always will.

What keeps you looking at a work of art? What would an artist have to do for you to consider his/her work timeless? Is it taste that determines this?

Somethings to consider as viewers and as artists.

In the end, the funny thing is…most artists don’t think about anything else but making the art while they are in the act. But, after-the-fact and before the art making we can sometimes get consumed with how our work may be judged.
