From the
Editor Welcome to the SPRING 2017 issue of Fine Art Collector. In a period where we as communities and individuals adjust to recent global events and prepare for uncertainties in the coming year, we must look to the constants around us; the keystones of life and humanity that keep us anchored in even the most turbulent of times. Art is one such refuge in which we may all find solace and stability. Picasso viewed art as a form of catharsis: “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life”. Edgar Degas alluded to the power of escapism that art offers to those who view it: “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see”. Similarly, Nietzsche recognised that art empowers society with a hotline to hope beyond our immediate circumstances: “We have art in order not to die of the truth”. In this issue, we aim to play our own small part in transporting you away from the everyday into a world of colour and creativity, through our own contribution to the world of art. We proudly present our Spring 2017 collection, filled with the very best contemporary art from artists both well-established and new to theWashington Green scene. Alongside lifestyle articles and behind the scenes exclusives, we hope you will enjoy a visual walk through the collection, and find a moment’s peace within these pages. So, Collectors, we encourage you to sit back, relax and enjoy the very best that SPRING 2017 has to offer!
