View Full Version : Modern Art...brilliant visions or over priced crap?
seldomTap 03-11-2003, 09:45 PM Some people who have an appreciation, or supposed appreciation of art, stand around and pay mega dollars for sculptures of old TV parts stuck together, or paintings that are basically three splashes of colour on a canvas.
The rest of us have no idea of the attraction.
Are they super intelligent? Or just Super retarded?
for your consideration...

Bella 03-11-2003, 09:47 PM And you cannot spell.
Bella 03-11-2003, 09:48 PM I, on the other hand, have a huge appreciation for art. I could live in a museum.
seldomTap 03-11-2003, 09:49 PM Are you more into classical art...or modern art though Bella?
And if modern Art is your thing...what the hell is that pic I posted suppose to be??
Curly Howard 03-11-2003, 09:50 PM I like it
lightweight 03-11-2003, 09:55 PM I'm not a fan of modern art. I think it's pointless.

I enjoy classical art more.
As for the thing in the picture, it's hard to tell what it is, or what it's made of. I find it quite intriguing though.

JasonLeonardOBE 03-11-2003, 09:59 PM The Pope has been assimilated.
Magic Man 03-11-2003, 09:59 PM I think MOST modern art (especially painting) is an excuse for non-artists to call themselves artists. How much skill does it take to paint a piece of canvas blue and put a single red dot of paint in the middle? None at ****ing all.
Oh, and that ball sculpture is pretty cool - something like that still take a lot of skill to create.

That's exactly how I feel. I can draw pretty good, but there almost no place for my style of art right now, its all those splashes of paint on canvas selling the big bucks. That pisses me off.

Rent Star Trek:First contact which features a Borg Sphere that is sent back in time to earth.
That pic Seldom posted is the crashed sphere in question.

Leather 03-12-2003, 10:01 AM Only the first is of Dali (I love his art), the others are by Renee Magritte...
Lady N 03-12-2003, 10:03 AM Some friends of mine are modern artists who sell enough of their work to make a living on. They make sculptures out of casts of plants, flowers, pieces of wood and the human body. They did a few sculptures using the casts of parts of my body which they used to make trees :) . The sculptures are in the yard of a university. I got some pictures although they aren't very clear.
Here's one of the entire sculpturegroup. The main sculpture has a real tree in the centre and the smaller ones are attached to real trees. The pictures were taken 3 years ago and the trees have grown a lot and have become one with the sculptures as the artists intended.

Here's one of the main sculpture with me standing next to it:
http://image1ex.villagephotos.com/1229190.jpg
They used casts of my arms for the branches and casts of my back for the trunk. My shin and feet were used for the roots.
Here's one of another statue with the artists standing in the background. In this one (exhibited in a museum of modern art) they used parts of my shoulders, arms and chest but in this sculpture they are not recognizeable as human parts anymore.

I like the way they use existing shapes to create new ones.
Leather 03-12-2003, 10:06 AM WOW!! Can you give me a link to see their art Lady-N?...It looks great...
Lady N 03-12-2003, 10:15 AM :) They don't have a website yet but I'll tell them it's time they make one.
Leather 03-12-2003, 10:19 AM ok...Have they paints too?
Lady N 03-12-2003, 10:29 AM Yes, Maarten draws and paints and Liet is a sculptor. Here's some info on them: http://www.absolutearts.com/cgi-bin/news/arts-news-elaborate.cgi?output_number=20&find=3504 . This article is about the exhibition they had in the museum (the picture with them in the background).
Aaron Bizarre 03-12-2003, 11:16 AM I liek some modern art with the exception of really abstract art. Jackson Pollock is a waste though.
Bluecifer 03-12-2003, 02:02 PM I like Dali and Gustav Klimt. Klimt was probably my favorite.

Piedra 03-12-2003, 03:13 PM Actually the chimp is willing to sue michael jackson his ass is worth a lot of money.
Bluecifer 03-12-2003, 03:19 PM Money can't sue Michael because the sodomy was consensual. Money likes it in the pooper.

THE PERCEPTION OF MEMORY:http://dali.karelia.ru/images/works/1931_06.jpg
Aaron Bizarre 03-12-2003, 03:56 PM Now that is a modern masterpiece.
Piedra 03-12-2003, 03:56 PM Well maybe Vermeer.
Bluecifer 03-12-2003, 03:56 PM That girl has ****ing amazing eyes.
Aaron Bizarre 03-12-2003, 03:56 PM I was refering to the woman. Dali is cool to.
Piedra 03-12-2003, 04:04 PM http://www.ocaiw.com/images/galleria_nudo/271.jpg
"My painting is visible images which conceal nothing; they evoke mystery and, indeed, when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question 'What does that mean'? It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is unknowable."
