This blog is about accidental art and things that are accidentally beautiful, without any deliberate intent. Nancy Ross refers to accidental art as "art without an artist".
Sometimes there may be an artist involved, but accidental art occurs when they create or capture something they didn't intend. Photography is one medium where accidental art often occurs. Examples of this include double exposures and accidental shots with aesthetic quality.
Or there may literally be no artist involved, as in the case of natural formations which are aesthetically pleasing. Or, art generated by computer without human intervention.
This blog will contain featured works and thoughts on accidental art. The definition of art we use is an inclusive one, covering not just visual art but also the written word - everything from painting and photography to accidentally beautiful spam email you might find in your inbox.
The phenomenon of accidental art raises many interesting questions about the nature of art itself. Does it prove that beauty truly rests solely in the eye of the beholder? Does the amount of effort an artist puts into a work matter? Is everything art, at least potentially?
I don't pretend to know the answers to these questions, but I hope you will enjoy exploring them with me. If you have thoughts on accidental art, or works you would like to share, please leave a comment, or contact me at accidentally.beautiful -at- gmail.com.
