In “The Painter of Modern Life” extracts the author writes about an artist and modern art.
He describes M. G. as the man of the world, who have seen a lot, and who felt at home everywhere. Who was really into basic questions kids usually ask their parents about. Actually, it seems like the writer finds children's interest as one of the main driving forces for an art. What is quite interesting, because usually making kid’s questions are related to the scientific sphere. As known, most of the important scientific discoveries were made because of basic questions, adults usually not interested in. And being interested in the world as a child makes much sense in the science world.
But Charles Baudelaire finds that kind of prescription of the world very useful in artistic direction. More because of looking on everything as on something new and undiscovered, like if you would never see it before. It is not a secret why teenagers are tended to exaggerate their romantic relationships and break-ups – because it is for the first time for them, they are not used to it, and every feeling is truly unique and deep for them. The same as the colors are brighter, and objects are more beautiful for kids. And that is something the artist should have in them, to be able to see beauty in places most people won’t.
Also, it might be about imagination. Sometimes being an adult means to miss the time when you were a child. It is hard to say if its because all of your problems were only about sand eating, or because of the world were brighter and more interesting at that time. Anyway, if you were able to eat sand because you’ve made some cookies from it, that means you had enough imagination to make your world interesting. And being able to make a realistic projection from your imagination to the real world is something really cool and useful for being an artist. I guess that’s why sometimes artist use to take drugs or alcohol for their art process – to free up their mind and imagination.
Moving to the modern art related part of the text I should say I understood his writing as “Learn art looking back on yesterday, make art viewing today”. That’s basically the main point for me.
He says people from his time were making modern art based on experience and trends of the past, while people from the past were making modern art related to the time they lived in. And the right thing is to paint time you live in. But as for me, aren’t those drawings time-representing, because people of that century were tended to draw in that way? I guess you can’t call that art modern, though.

Summing up, as for me the main thoughts of the text sounded like “An artist should have a little of a child in him” and “Creating a piece of modern art do not forget to show the modernity in it”. All of that does make sense for me. But I guess it does because it is I am the one outlined these as the main…
