Artists for Artists

Why?

My experiences have shown me how difficult it can be to be respected without support in the general public and to be perceived. This is the case, if artists are still too young or already too old, very sensitively, are idealistic or human and even though they themselves remain and must live on the sales of their artworks. To be accepted, they mostly have to organize either a "show„ , to be haughty, or to be extravagant. They have to deny themselves with it as an own person. There are also in our modern time enough people who know how vulnerable, especially financial, a lot of artists are. Then particularly protagonists are used shamelessly what can lead up to destruction of the soul. Just these artists need our solidarity. In a time where information and pictures floods our daily life it is more important than ever to make a distinction between a real artwork which presupposes a creative process and craft skill, and the advertisement screaming from all over and over again areas. An original piece of art is created by an artist and "lives" with the person, viewer or collector who takes pleasure in this artwork. To distribute chances possibly fairly, to support mutually itself, to repulse attacks, and to promote real art community, I have founded this group "Artists for Artists. Also to pause and to scoop new strength.
To create and to preserve art, to promote individuality and to appreciate and to be able to lead a free, self-determined life, reciprocal respect, tolerance and esteem is the requirement. But first, in the whole world peace is absolute necessary.
