Andrew Collins is a local video artist and musician who has prepared this exhibit for the enjoyment of art lovers visiting the MAC. Art, like all aspects of our life, has an historical foundation – one major artists’ work begets another. As Henri Matisse said “Creativity takes courage”. These five artists had the courage to create exceptional pieces of art.

The artists covered in the media exhibit in the Cloakroom Media Gallery at the MAC are all artists with courage. The art world changed significantly in the later part of the 19th century. Artists became concerned with visual sensation – an emotional response to the subject – perhaps the coming of the camera had something to do with it?
