The Art of Bonsai Project

Very interesting and novel idea have come up in support of multifront bonsai art. It is suggested as an argument that multifront is natural and viewer friendly as far as bonsai appreciation goes
Whatever DOUBTFUL merit the above proclamation may have one thing is certain- the GREAT CREATOR of this world have created most of the magificent living things with a front ( BEST VIEW) . And we are trying to be more innovative or original than the creator of this wonderful artwork of world.
It is funny enough that this creative impulse is claimed to be stimulated by pristine nature itself --( may be not in these words exactly but in spirit ofcourse).
looks like the rules of the game is being changed for the sake of artistic freedom .
From now on we shall enter the age of formally informal. informally formal bonsai only. Adieu , kengai , shakan. fukinagashi etc. Amen.

Mr. Loosli, we are not concerned about cow or owl's face or of their thinking.
What i intend to convey by my understsnding of front of bonsai is that since GOD intended that creatures ( higher life form) should have a face ( front , frontal view, best view) similarly trees also have such feature. Only we need to identify and showcase it while creating bonsai art.
When we can't identify or fail to relate to the best view we may take refuge under a different set of game rule or propose the new rule as ORIGINAL sacrosant and panacea .
That is fine with me .
Only I shall consider the upstart new view point as poor reflection of holistic bonsai art.
BONSAI IS MUCH MORE THAN A MULTIFACE TREE IN A POT THAT COULD HAVE A TWIN IN NATURE.
As far as i understand , mere copy of nature is not art - it could be masterly scaledown reproductionl & CRAFT( necessary). That is passport photo of a tree- not potrait of a tree- which is art i suppose.

"understand you take the 'front' of living things as 'picture' made to be looked at. But what makes you think so? That seems anthropocentric to me."
Bonsai is first and foremost, Anthropomorphic. It is NOT nature. It is man's interpretation of nature. Bonsai is perception of a manmade composition. It is art. Anthropomorphism is a given with art. Not alot of other animals create it (chimpanzees and elephants have a very tenuous grasp of it, if they have one at all), so it can be nothing else. Nature doesn't create art. If something "artistic" happens in nature, it is only seen from a human perspective...
