ANTONIO PESSOA

. Art , the communication tool .

Antonio Pessoa and myself we were at a dinner party and suddenly someone asked him the question wich never crossed my mind to ask him.
"Antonio,tell me,how intense is your urgency to paint?"
Antonio Pessoa didn't actually have to give a serious thought about it for so it seems he already had the answer right at the tip of his tongue,wich makes me conclude that the artist had been knowing the answer for quite a long time.
"Art only makes sense to me as long as it enables me to communicate with a great amount of people.If that doesn't happen then I don't need to paint."
It was said and done.The one who came up with that question as far as I can recall kept his mouth shut for the rest of the evening.Nevertheless Antonio Pessoa had just made his point.
So this explains many things,such as Antonio Pessoa's unmodifiable attitude,specifically as far as wide communication is concerned.Therefore the final verdict is that this artist number one priority has always been making Art works to be seen,loved or hated,never mind the good or bad critics,that's not what's at stake,the important is to be there,anytime,anywhere,but making sure to keep Art alive,breathing and preferably in universal circulation.
As a window open out to the world Antonio Pessoa,the artist,lets Art all out in the open,with the open Art vision of an open minded artist.
The New Era is communicating to the world,new and alive,the positive thinking of an artist who does it for the people,definitely a New Era,a new hopefulness for the best and for a better New World!
