Your profile photo is as mysterious as much of your art, a mystic lovely whose appearance is alive with inner thoughts, a trauma perhaps of boundless energy. This woman's confidence is assured, but it cannot hide her softness, a natural beauty in motion, perky enough for any cover story. Best to you, Ken Agnello

As Kathe Kollwitz wrote: I have never been able to carry out any work coolly. On the contrary it is done, so to speak, with my own blood. Anyone who looks at my works must be able to sense that.
PS. Angello have you got FB page or smething like that? If you want talk with me or see my other paintings and photo you will be very welcome here: www.facebook.com/katkatchorz/

I, too, share Kollwitz's comments. The details of my life and art I spew out in my book, "Agnello by Agnello: Striking the Heart of an Artist's Confessions," available as a E-Book on Kindle/Amazon.com, which includes some 300 images in a near-300 page book.
Yes, I do have a profile on Facebook--I will attempt to connect on the FB site with you--but I do not use it to promote my art. I choose to resist opening my art veins on a social media site, unless it is designed for art, as is Deviant Art and Fine Art America.com.Facebook is generally more low key--my art is not.
Best to you,
Ken Agnello

My invitation wasn't intend to promote myself, my art - I'm just more active on my FB site than here. Your knowledge, sensitivity truly captivated me so it's very important to be able to talk to a man like you.
Besides art is our language I think...
Your book really intrigued me - such a beautiful title!
Artists confession reminds me of the work by Sylvia Plath, Robert Powell, Anne Sexton do you like poetry, literature, Ken?
Best to you too!

My interest in the written word is found more in the lyrics of contemporary music, rather than in novels, poetry, or other assorted publications or write-ups. The great lyricists of compelling and even controversial music since the 1960's--musicians like Bob Dylan, Jackson Browne, Neil Young, the Rolling Stones, Van Morrison, etc.--are the spiritual leaders of my thought-process, their philosophies driving my earliest inspiration. As I wrote in my book...
"By the late 1970’s, now in my early 20’s, an obsession with insightful lyrics was paramount to my listening. Anything that spoke on the human condition or expressed a personal revelation, or simply displayed a spirited idea beyond the mundane “boy loves girl” drivel, grabbed my attention. I applauded provocative lyrics for their power as a hard-edged alternative to candy-coated innocence, and, mostly, to the then growing Disco dance craze, a musical trend which for me dragged down the mysteries of the intellect to a lower level of “gettin’ down” to physical gyrations. The written word in song set a generation free and through its inspiration, I established the foothold for the drama and angst that was to become my artistic trademark...Art with personal meaning, art for people’s sake and not for bland decoration, was to become my central drive."
An artist whose writings most impress me is Francis Bacon--his philosophies are logical, articulate, and real, so much of which I share. I am also a collector of some great art books...Alessandra Comini on Egon Schiele and Gustave Klimt and Thomas Lackner on Max Beckmann come to mind.

I'm totally agree with you - F. Bacon was an extraordinary painter, but also a great thinker. The same also applies to the Beckmann.
Egon Schiele is another artist who had a huge influence on me.
Besides, I think that the painter should not only painting, but also to read, interested in culture in full sense of this word ... Today artists focus too much on ourselves and that is why art is bad, boring. Of course there are exceptions - fortunately
