[QUOTE=Elecbullet;35802752]That is [I]extremely fucking[/I] overdramatic. Nobody is "immobilized" by nature. Virtually every instance of an artist claiming so is overdramatic shit. It annoys me to no end, in part because it is clearly dishonest.[/QUOTE] That's pretty much the definition of Agoraphobia
[QUOTE=Elecbullet;35803124]The URL and post implied otherwise but I dunno now[/QUOTE]Uh, the artist's signature is right on the image.
[QUOTE=brainmaster;35803168]But what about the ~depth~*~?[/QUOTE] the only depth that exists in artwork is what the viewer ascribes to it people automatically look for parallels and patterns in things like narrative and imagery, artwork that's considered to be the best is usually stuff that plays to those little pattern finding protocols in our heads. The reason that some pieces and artists are more valued than others is that they're able to take an emotion and render it in a unique and engaging way, something the Scream does wonderfully.
[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;35803163]i hate when artists make art and then talk about their art with emotion emotion just makes me so gerr why can't everyone think about things logically like me [/QUOTE] no offence but that just sounds like a personal struggle about yourself not being able to passionate or emotional but if you're british i can totally understand
[QUOTE=ExplodingGuy;35803208]Uh, the artist's signature is right on the image.[/QUOTE] Well after going to the site it is clearly a joke site but when I first saw the signatuer I thought it was just some bum misusing copyright.
[QUOTE=Elecbullet;35802752]That is [I]extremely fucking[/I] overdramatic. I can't stand shit like this. Like this by Mary Oliver: Nobody is "immobilized" by nature.

[QUOTE=Doneeh;35802868] [IMG]http://www.martin-missfeldt.com/images-pictures/cezanne-van-gogh/vincent-van-gogh-selfportrait-without-ear.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] Vincent Van Gogh, inventor of the horse mask.
[QUOTE] [IMG]http://www.martin-missfeldt.com/images-pictures/cezanne-van-gogh/vincent-van-gogh-selfportrait-without-ear.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE] Nope. Nope That is so creepy. Who would buy this painting anyways?
I'd buy it too if I had lodsamoney.
[QUOTE=gamefreek76;35802669]I don't like it. I'm not a fan of Van Gogh-esque paintings. They seem really pretentious.[/QUOTE] Van Gogh painted post-impressionism whereas Munch painted mainly expressionism. Fun fact about Munch; He was supposedly in a mental asylum for some time, and The Scream was most likely his artistic interpretation of having an "episode"
Van Gogh most likely got high on heroin and other drugs and just painted how he felt. He was a brilliant surreal artist with the mind of a plate of pudding. I find it fascinating how someone can study art for decades and produce rubbish yet a crackhead who cut of his ear and gave it to a prostitute can create works which are still held in high regard today.

While Munch isn't Van Gogh, he draws strong influence from Van Gogh and the other post-impressionists such as Gauguin and Toulouse-Lautrec. And really, all these artists lay down the foundations for the following abstract art, which FPers around here despise with great hate and label as 'modern art' without understanding what's all the jist about. To these guys, ask yourselves, What's art?
[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;35806465]That's a lot of money for something that could be stuck to a fridge door with magnets after a 4-year old drew it with oil crayons.[/QUOTE]edgy [editline]3rd May 2012[/editline] the scream? art?? i'll show you art, take a look at this videogame...

[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;35806465]That's a lot of money for something that could be stuck to a fridge door with magnets after a 4-year old drew it with oil crayons.[/QUOTE] so why haven't any drawn it yet
[QUOTE=gnisasas;35806311]To these guys, ask yourselves, What's art?[/QUOTE] Half of them would say one satisfying wank
[QUOTE=Sharker;35802525]Wait, if modern art is anything up until the 70s, why is it called modern?[/QUOTE] Modern is a term used to describe a specific period of time when discussing culture, society, ideologies, etc. Modernism was more or less a time period. We're now in 'post-modernism'. For a word to describe a perpetual present you'd use 'contemporary' rather than 'modern'.
