Marina Abramovic

Marina Abramovic with white lamb

Marina's art doesn't consist of beautiful paintings, elaborate drawings, or interesting structures. Her specialty is performance art. She doesn't fake the performances she puts on, they are 100% real and extremely intense. She performs both physical and psychological acts that have included getting set on fire, stabbed, and sitting in the same state for hours. Personally, I feel that her art is very bold and outgoing, but she is doing it at a high cost. She puts her life in danger in order to do her performance art. Some of the things she does seem outrageous, and that's because they are! I couldn't imagine seeing someone slicing their own skin with razor blades or stabbing themselves in the hand. Art is not solemnly paintings and structures, this is form of art proves that to be true.
