This blog has touched on modern art, art history, and illustration with subjects like creativity and inspiration making appearances from time to time. Rarely will we mention poetry, the art of writing, fiction, or the graphic novel along with the other topics. The literary arts web-zine “Escape Into Life” touches on all of these aspects of art and literature, and then some.
Escape Into Life, to which I have the pleasure of linking in the sidebar on the right, encompasses art, literature, and philosophy in a web magazine (or web-zine) format. The site provides a lounge for free thinkers, artists, writers and aficionados of Outside Art.
One of the main themes of this web-zine is how art, music, and literature are not exclusive of each other. It’s kind of like looking at a Wassily Kandinsky painting and hearing the same symphonies he wanted to imply with the colors and brush strokes, or how the best authors can put you physically in a scene much like the best paintings do.
You’ll notice plenty of illustrations by Henry Darger, the foremost American Outside Artist, or Naive Artist, not to mention others such as Adolf Wolfli. This helps to set the indy, out of the mainstream kind of mood, and hopes to attract like-minded folk to join the community and submit their own artwork. The more “outside,” the better.
So, check it out, and Escape Into Life…
