Artists in the Streets of Europe

An interesting sign of modern culture are vagant musicians, dancers and other artists. In the narrow streets and squares of the medieval towns like Salerno (Italy), their performances are similar to the theater shows. The seasides become similar to the art studios. I don't know if they pay taxes or something like this but I'm content that the govwernors do not catch them from the cities as they do with the salesmen.

There are all schools of painters there. I like to look how the Chinese painters work (and, as you can see on the photo, others). Their techinques are so particular! Even if they simply write something for you, it's just an art. In fact, writing was always art, in Europe, too.

I have different friends painters and know something from their lives. I was always surprised to njtice that they easily go to sit in the streets and offer to paint for passerbys. I would never do it. It seems to me not very ...I don't know... Non acceptable for me. But they are different from me in this sense, too. They like this work. They do it with great pleasure. Not only, they are happy to do anything for inspiration. There was a competition in one of our touristic centers when artists were closed in an antique monastery for a month with the task to create a masterpiece after it. Imagine, artists waited in the list for the next turn to enter in the monastery!

 I want to say that artists have to be free as they were from the beginning of the times. Inspired -to inspire and enlighten our life.
