To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits:
logic and common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken,
it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams, says Giorgio
de Chirico. Art, thus escapes limits, becomes free in every sense and goes in
search of fresh feelings and thoughts that strike a balance between reality
and idealism.
In art, paintings are adorned much because of its non-defined structure, beauty
that explains hidden feelings, shared thoughts and suppressed emotions. It has
a world of its own- a world of color, shine and unheard music that takes a man
to an unknown world he is seldom familiar with. It speaks its own language-
a language taught by its creator and communicates to the rest of the world what
the creator wanted it to dictate.
As painting gives an immortal beauty and creates an atmosphere of creativity
and exquisiteness it has been used in households, offices, and other institutions
and places. Art lovers buy paintings to experience something they are already
familiar with and explore a world beyond simplicity or abstractness.
There are lots of possibilities for the collection of dust or dirt on the surface
of the painting. This will not show any adverse effect on the painting very
soon. But it will be shown in the days to come.
How to maintain a painting properly?
Environment plays an important role in damaging and also preserving the beauty
of a painting. Thus, various aspects of environmental changes will affect the
painting in many ways.
Check temperature and humidity
Creating an appropriate environment is desirable in the proper maintenance of
painting. Check the temperature and humidity level, as relative humidity is
desirable for the proper preservation of paintings. Humidity less than 40 and
above 60 is not good for the proper maintenance of paintings. It also depends
on the medium in which the painting has been done. If the painting is done on
canvas and not on wood, it will react more adversely to rising humidity levels.
Displaying paintings
Paintings should be hung in a better place and somewhere you always pay attention
to. It is better you hang or display paintings in your drawing room or visitors
since you will always give extra care to these rooms and its maintenance. So
you will definitely take care of the paintings too.
Paintings are assets. Vincent Van Gogh once said that the only time he feels
alive is when he is painting. This explains the hard toil, dedication and worship
of the painter towards the artwork with which he makes a better expression of
his formless ideas. Preserving and maintaining these art works is also an art
as it shows the respect and admiration towards the creator and the timeless
creation.
