The Great Art Debate

[Bruce Rioja]

It isn't about a particular type of art. Have a look at this: These are by an award-winning B.A and art teacher. The first one is titled Trafalga square winter dusk: I can't make head or tail of these and think they're truly awful. Muddy colours and child-like brushwork. No comparison with the one I put up.

That doesn't make them good though, does it?! A bunch of self congratulatory knobs fellating one and other. I could come up with shite like that. I can also strum chords on a guitar - it doesn't make me a musician.

No indeed. It's actually frightening that anybody could think so, but they do. This woman is Tracy Emin with a paintbrush......(sorry Will)

They're beyond shite. My 7 year old niece could do better with her eyes shut.

Which is a truth. Thing is the artist is much respected and holds a high position in the art world. I can't imagine anybody seeing any skill or attraction in these.

Bear in mind that there are folk in that world that think a canvas painted black is some sort of deep meaning genius.

If I have to screw my eyes up to see something then its shit.

I like to see things with my eyes wide open.

WORD to ya Mother. How is your mother by the way?

I had to look up what that meant

She is fine and on holiday with my father spending my inheritance.

This week's screensaver for me. James McNeill Whistler, The Flower Market. So simple, so effective.

Good stuff, Tango...

Another one of those simple, delicate impressionist paintings that use little to say lots. By French artist
Eugene Boudin (1824-1898) and in a private collection. Titled, The Beach at Trouville. Be happy to have that on my wall. I wish.

No, that's Robert Mapplethorpe you're thinking of.

If it's by Mark Rothko, then, yep, it is.

No. It really isn't.

[bobo the clown]

Ah .... you can't beat Rothko.

You could burn his 'work' though.

[LeverEnd]

Had a look at Rothko's stuff on google, couldn't find the black thing but found one that was half black half grey but called 'Black and White'.
HELLO!!! Can't even label his colours right.

It may not be Rothko you are thinking of but this artist...

The sheer scope and interpretation of great art appreciation is staggering.
