‘Fondness’ Art Book
Somewhere in between, there is ‘Fondness’ that is more mature than ‘likeness’ but more cheerful than ‘love’. If you remove the impulse, addiction and intensity from the word ‘love’, you get ‘Fondness’.
For the artist, looking at each other face to face means love, and looking from the side means likeness which is the reason why the artist likes to draw side profiles. In other words, the artist prefers likeness rather than love. A problem arises because what the artist seeks to express is neither love nor likeness. The likeness that the artist wants to express through his works can be defined as an emotion that doesn’t have the impulse, addiction, and intensity of love, and which overlaps the affection over and over again.
