id laughed my ass off if she goes to dress up a dead bloated deer and the deer explodes all over her..
ooh ooh, art! like that time that guy, i mean kid, with the stache blew up couple'a TFs and posted it on youtube!
You are right, I don't have to like it. And that's why I made my post. I'm passionate about art and my own work, and I know how much work I have to do to learn and get better every day. The very thought that someone can "shit on a wall" in your extreme sense and call it "art" actually does disgust me to a degree. But mostly it just makes me laugh, because there really are some suckers out there. There's a great quote by Al Capp... "Abstract art? A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered." It applies here, I think, even though I think even abstract art requires more talent than dressing up a dead carcass. -Dusty
Well it ain't shitting on a wall (at least I hope not...I did get drunk last weekend and forgot where I was for an hour. Who knows! maybe there is a drunken masterpiece by me somewhere!).... Seriously though...mostly video game development by day and then fantasy/horror illustration by night.
I never thought that she was being sinister...just being stupid. All it takes is one dumb ass driver to glance over at underdog and cause and accident... I'm wondering if RF hates me too?
This thread is making me thirsty, I think I will have, a single plum, floating in perfume, served in a man's hat.
If you are speaking of Picasso type stuff, then yes you are right. The man could paint both amazing real life paintings and defined an entire style of painting (cubism). You can see amazing skill in his work as well as many other like him. The quote works best with people such as Pollock or Malevich. People that throw some paint on a canvas or paint a fucking black square and plop a huge price tag on it are just silly. If the artist presents it as art and you respond to it as art, then by definition it is art....but that doesn't make it talent. It's the choice of the artist, of course...even Pollock had some decent abstract art that WAS talented, but his output through the majority of his life was horrible, talentless crap. I took all the classes in art school, I know all about them and what their lives were like and what their statements were. And the more I studied them and read about their careers the more I realized just how big of hacks they were. And the people that buy it up are just clueless. Sorry if you are one of these people, and sorry if I ranted a bit....just my opinion. I've always had a chip on my shoulder for minimalist abstract art. Pretty much! And I have definitely expressed what isn't good for me enough for the day.
