Is this country completely crackers?

It always makes me smile when someone so-say 'in the know' describes what an artist is trying to convey with a piece of art. Of course, not everyone will like the same things, but an un-made bed, a pile of bricks?! I could form a pile of doggy-dooz into the shape of a pyramid and say it was a comment on the Pharaohs or something, but in reality, it would just be a pile of doggy-dooz
I'm not a fan of the 'classic' portraits, but can appreciate the skill. I quite like the 'impressionists', and their use of the brush. To me, they are the real artists as I think they are more creative and expressive? I do though quite like some modern art, as I find it quite provocative at times.
Take no notice, I'm just a Philistine

 

I have to agree totally with this, definitely a case of "The Kings new clothes" tell enough people that something is creative and they will be gullible enough to believe it,
Don't even get me started on Picasso!!!

 

Guessing your not a pollock or basquiat or keith haring fan than either lol

I do love a bit of pollock tho and painting in that style is so much fun. Im naturally messy so pouring paint with a ladle over canvas is great esp cause you cant be neat and tidy with it.

 

@Dips - the edit was going really well until Scott Naismith got bored and started splodging on dabs of colour onto what was a perfectly good work with his knife (?). Worse still, his ego ran away with him when he signed it
On your last two, well I would rather have a Warhol (and I can't stand his work)

Strangely I quite like his work. Edvard Munch is better though.

 

An insight to Art.....

 

Lol fair enough

and i never even noticed his signature before yeh where it is placed an stuff is a bit odd it really should be in the bottom corner. Im not liking that at all

 

Trust me: I won't

 

Variety is the spice of life!

Just laughing at how this has gone from Richard the third to abstract art

 

There's a Freudian link there

 

Just trying to work out if that's a compliment

 

Not a fan?? I've never even heard of them!!!

Years ago when I was suffering depression I wanted to buy a copy of his painting "The Scream" I felt then and still do that this picture kind of sums up how depression can feel.

OK, my idea of art is much more conventional, like this!!!!

 

Lol haha im sure u will recognise pollock and maybe haring

So this is jackson pollock





This is keith haring





And this is Jean michel basquiat. He was a graffiti artist and was homeless and spent a lot of time with Warhol. The movie about his life is really interesting
