  • As long as it isn't a Jackson Pollock hack piece  or some other modern art BS like yellow squares.



    This is pretentious crap.

    I ran across this, and worse, not long ago.

    I can post that one, at least.  Some of what I saw cannot be posted here, and (like what we both posted above) doesn't deserve to be called art.  There is some really creepy modern stuff that I saw, too.

  • I'm gonna blog this (if I didn't do it already). Thanks to Jackson Pillock ... ah, Pollock, I invented an art form of my very own. I'm still waiting for it to come to the attention of the art world but when it does I'm gonna be rich.

  • There's people who literally just pee on something and get credited as artists.

  • Well, you're on the right track. But before it becomes pee it can still be used in creative art.

    You can find out how at this post: In the Eye of the Beholder.

  • Well in the sense of does art Matter...that is something I have enjoyed exploring...

    For instance Mary Cassatt (1824-1926), the American Impressionist painter; at a time when a hungry twelve-year-old child could be imprisoned for stealing bread, Cassatt is credited for bringing the idea into Western civilization that childhood is actually an unique and special time of life.

    Second painting by Pissarro - even before quantum physics and relativity, some say the Impressionists were seeing the light in matter and showing it to us...

    Yes, it matters. It comes behind food, a roof over your head, health care and the like, but it matters. It matters because it is part of you. The art you like is what speaks to you, on a personal level. It is part of your personality, and you loose part of yourself if it is not there.
