Cops: Colorado woman punches, rubs her buttocks against $30 million painting - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Xavith;34076522]I call this Everyday Struggle[/QUOTE] That actually looks nice. And I just found the obligatory penis.

what penis? :v:

I believe the blue in this artpiece actualy represents the river that is life. And the streaks of red actualy represent fire, and passion. Purple is obviously the feeling of melancholy that we all experience in our lives. Altough this piece lacks any deformed faces, i would rate this at about 9 million trillion dollars.

If that artwork fit the room, it'd look amazing.

And that's Everyday Struggle. Design class makes me analyze art and design pieces all the time. :v:

Holy shit I'm an artist. I made this a few years ago: [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1106779/Gesellschaft%20der%20Scherben.png[/img] I called it [I]Society in shards[/I]

This thread took a lovely turn for the worst. But the thing is art, regardless if you like it or not, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and whatnot. Personally though, I think it's shit, and if I showed this a lot of other people, they'd say it's shit too. The "deep meaning" doesn't show, I find it hard to appreciate the work put into it, and it doesn't look very nice either. I guess some could appreciate it, them being mostly snooty assholes riding a high horse trying to look superior for "getting" it.

I would love a print of this for my wall. [img]http://i.imgur.com/PWGnN.jpg[/img] Of course I'm interested in this type of art anyway. Like this Picasso. [img]http://www.montrealgazette.com/entertainment/5488711.bin?size=620x400s[/img]

The most interesting thing to see with him is really the evolution of his art and all the phases he went through, starting with very classical, well made drawings and end up on more abstract stuff. But there always is a clear artistic thought behind it and you can see he didn't just throw paint at a canvas and see the result. That painting that got punched... well, it's good for a casual painting you just hang in your living room, with nothing behind it. After all that's what most of recent art is about - making the most basic shit possible and sell it to billionaires who have that tendency to buy everything regular people have, only a million time more expensive just so they can show how rich they are.

[QUOTE=Number-41;34075610]Well yeah you don't need to study art to become a professional artist. I think the main reason people study art is because they know it's difficult to make a living out of it, but with their degree they can become a teacher (which is a steady job)[/QUOTE] People who study art are people who actually want to make art. People who never study art and sell their shit for millions to rich fucks are opportunists who don't care for shit about art, or are too pretentious to admit they suck at it.

[QUOTE=Xavith;34076522]I call this Everyday Struggle [img]http://i.imgur.com/gze6X.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] I actually like it.

If you think that painting looks like it is the result of paint being flung onto a canvas then you are blind. You can clearly tell that the person painted those shapes with care judging by how clean the jagged outlines are. It looks nothing like flowing paint would.

If the result is how you intended, then the piece is perfect, even though it might seem ugly or bland to you or me.

Are fractals art?

Maybe it has a meaning and all that jazz but its not worth 30 million dollars lol

[QUOTE=Zero-Point;34071733]Why go through all that effort to paint an elaborate land-scape or life-like portrait if some clown can half-ass slap some paint on a canvas (or a bucket, or a jar of piss, in fact, forget the paint on the last one), say "it's art!" and get millions for it?[/QUOTE] Because they won't get those millions until they're dead, if at all.

[QUOTE=Painties Hose;34077541]Thoughtless art is still art.[/QUOTE] Then it's at the lowest level of art, as it is art only by the definition of the word - it's an act of creation. It has no actual artistic interest whatsoever.

[QUOTE=Painties Hose;34077749]To you perhaps, but most likely somebody out there will find it optically pleasing.[/QUOTE] Aesthetic =! artistic. I'm pretty sure the guy who paid 30 millions for that paint isn't going to meditate for hours in front of it trying to find a meaning, he just found it pretty and bought it with fucktons of money because he's rich so why pay what it's actually worth, just like every other recent riches who buy modern art.
