As with your referencing painting, when I prefaced my statement that I was only speaking in regards to poetry, nothing else. Maybe I should have expanded a bit.<br /><br />Authentic, in the terms that the emotion, feeling, tone, mood, etc of what one is trying to communicate is genuine, or at least comes across that way successfully, is not sincere. As sincere, in these terms, is based on the act of believing that a statement, line, stanza, etc is truthful, from the creator's perspective. Sincere being a belief in a truth, while authentic is not a belief but a thing being a truth. Like I said, it is in the semantics. If you don't agree, then you don't, but<br />it seems we are talking about different definitions due to different uses and applications, coming from different fields of usage. As you begin to reference painting, documentaries, and other things that have nothing to do with my initial statement.<br /><br />I'm not too concerned with how I am coming off, but thank you for the consideration.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11048916658133318882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169849407979145898.post-90402848627371319482011-02-22T15:27:58.105-08:002011-02-22T15:27:58.105-08:00Huh?

In a specific context--the ONLY context in which "authenticity" as you use it here makes any kind of sense--the two terms are both synonymous with 'genuine' (here with regard to intent obv). So I'm going to maintain my assertion. UNLESS of course by 'authenticity' here you mean:<br /><br />a)accuracy - the reliability of the depiction of facts/events in a biopic or documentary, or a photorealistic portrait<br /><br />b)verifiability of origin - a true original painting vs a meticulous copy<br /><br />c)execution - e.g. writing a haiku or sonnet in proper form<br /><br />...so, are you like, suggesting hyper-realistic paintings (or maybe hyper-detailed songs chronicling historical events) are the only forms of output ppl should strive to produce? That folks should double check that their art is an original and not...a copy...of their own art...? That people should make sure they're following proper haiku form when they write...a haiku (indeed!)? I'll give you the benefit of doubt and assume you were referring to sincerity all along. You come off better that way.It's A-Me, Martuccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763285004807396986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169849407979145898.post-61247826721584857552011-02-21T23:06:52.108-08:002011-02-21T23:06:52.108-08:00Authentic is not the same as sincere.

The goal is for the creator to be authentic in their execution and creation. Authenticity is the key, as 100% 'originality' is impossible, and as you said sincerity can be a tough sentiment to elicit (although I don't agree that it is wholly damning as you posited).<br /><br />That said, I also feel that realizing that your art is NOT going to change the world or that you are NOT doing anything that is groundbreaking-ly special is an important moment as an artificer. Once one has abolished that notion, their creation is wholly more successful and authentic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169849407979145898.post-12588878463280139522011-02-16T20:00:07.052-08:002011-02-16T20:00:07.052-08:00have you ever seen Banksy's intro he did for T...have you ever seen Banksy's intro he did for The Simpson's?

"Art" and "Sincerity", though, are both kind of subjective (as you did mention).<br /><br />If they're a matter of opinion, it's simply a matter of a) execution and b) perception.<br /><br />Intent gets lost in presentation, and its this tendency we have to go "hokey" instead of "sincere" when an artist executes poorly and sincerity is lost. Eminem wasn't being insincere, he was being hokey in spite of his intent to remain otherwise. <br /><br />I, as a writer (which I'm not, but I'm playing one for this example) can write with all of my heart. Say I wrote a play called 'Multiple Lies from the Brain' (if it's obvious I'm referring to SS writing, you're a smart cookie!). Say I dug deep for real, human experiences that caused pain. Now, I need to write a response to the line "Why's it such a big deal?" and out comes, "Because she's dead! I told him that already, she's fucking dead!"<br /><br />Now, we've seen actors in Community Colleges before. They're all arteests. Or artists, spelled non-phonetically. And so was the writer (me) who wrote the script. The intent was real, born out of a sincere moment- but the actor can't pull the line off. They just can't execute, relate, go back to the pain realistically.<br /><br />It's in the realism that we neglect or cannot access when needing to replicate the intended sincerity that turns honesty to hokey performance. <br /><br />It is in the execution- how much you can make yourself believe what needs to be real. Wholly real. Otherwise sincerity is lost.<br />Believe in the words you sing, or they'll have no meaning. (not that you have a problem with that :-P)<br /><br />I find myself thinking why my covers of songs end up sounding so differently than the originals. Its simply because the song for me, the song that I believe in and am trying to perform, comes from a different paradigm than the artists. We're singing for two different reasons, so the mood changes slightly, phrasings and certain emphasis change.<br /><br />One final example, another theatre one: You hurt me so bad my heart aches with no end.<br /><br />CHEESY LINE. Right?<br />But you honestly can perform those words a million and a half different ways. It becomes sincere when the execution is PERFECT.Matty Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06769980288863771768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169849407979145898.post-49936313848036344702011-02-16T10:21:13.710-08:002011-02-16T10:21:13.710-08:00Awwwww just playiiiiin witcha white booooi!
