I didnt say I liked it, thing is art is in the eye of the beholder. If you dont like it dont buy into it. There are good works of art and there are some dross. For example didnt buy into Emin's or a lot off Hirsts stuff. Sometimes its to make an underlying point or statement as opposed to being pleasing to the eye.

By that definition then anything is art and thus art ceases to be something or anything?

Hey, Art is subjective and while I find certain new exhibits distasteful I still enjoy viewing them and exploring the emotional and intellectual reactions they elicit from me. Art at it's best should stimulate you in many different ways depending on the piece in question.

Do I think some are crap? Yes. Do I still think there's value in them? Absolutely. Creativity is an essential component of human nature and we learn so much about ourselves from viewing works from our past and present.

That's not your definition, it's a generic quote containing an entirely abstract definition that was made more to sound nice than offer up a technical definition of what art is. But whatever, I'll play you at your own game :

So on what grounds is the picture in question not art then? Was there no collaboration between god and the artist on that one? How do you know this?

Nice try.

You said Arista's picture is not art. I wondered why. You stated eventually, after I had to beat it out of you, that it is not art because it is free. It is this notion which I am currently questioning. This notion which you are again avoiding by trying to alter the subject.

So the painting of the yellow lines on the wall is not art because it is free? What a fascinating concept.

Would a painting you consider to be fine art suddenly loose it's artistic merit if it was devalued and given to you for free?

You have now backed yourself into a corner and only now are you starting to mention how none of this is, in fact, within the context of the thread.

there is not corner in a thread with the title it has. The art in question is gallery art not street art or graffiti. It needs little introduction or emphasis.

I thought the artist was a woman.

I went to the Saatchi gallery years ago for my photography class and saw this piece. That place had lots of very strange art, including naked kids with penises and vaginas as mouths.

Then I went to London a few months ago and wanted to give Saatchi another visit. The gallery had moved and now it only contains amateur, and quite frankly, boring art. The top floor was interesting though. Had these men that were sort of squashed and leaning at an angle. It felt like you were looking at them from a different direction. Very surreal.

yes but the thread title is 99% and i dont recall me personally saying I have witnessed 100% nor would anyone think such a thing except for an angry pedantic teenager who is desperate to prove himself at every turn to bolster his wounded ego. I am using hyperbole of course...
Thank you for proving my point and missing it simultaneously. Of course I don't expect you to have witnessed 100% of modern art and poetry, so your opinion of me for expecting such a thing is null and void. Just remember this in future when you jump on someones back and hound them for proof they can't possibly give you of something. You do it all the time when someone disagrees with your mighty moral, ethical and religious values and what's more you know it.

Lesson over.

Straight off the top of my head was yesterday when you demanded some sort of proof that parents who force religion on their children do in fact exist on planet earth.

I doubt your kettle is faster than I.

That is not hounding, lol, that is asking someone to backup a post that is prejudicial. The person concerned (oh my, it was you) was making sweeping generalisations that did not have basis in truth and you naturally did not back it up.

have a look at your posts in this thread if you require a "hounding" tutorial. :joker:

How was I being prejudicial? How was I making sweeping generalisations? I was talking about parents in the world who breath faith down their childrens necks. These people do exist. They aren't a fable. I have no obligation whatsoever to some overgrown, bible thumping kid to prove these people exist.

As for me hounding you, that was entirely necessary given your daft little insistence on replying to half of everybodys post, ignoring the other half, then diverting back to that half or changing on to something completely different further down the line when things don't go your way. Do you think I am the only person to have noticed this? People have to hound you. You practically have to beat a decent debate out of you.

Not only that, but I was not hounding you for facts and figures you couldn't possibly give me, was I? No. I was hounding you for your opinion on a picture after you commented on said picture, so your comparison - and boy do you love comparing things - is null and void.

for starters how can art and poetry be in the same bracket? secondly this is much like the music tastes discussion each and every person will see things different etc just cos you dont like it doesnt mean its crap or unappealing to others

Don't you consider poetry a form of art? Art isn't just paintings. Music can be art. Great cinema can be art.

i do but they arent in the same bracket you dont go to gallerys just to read poems they are art forms in their own right but while similar in that aspect they are very very different

a lot of people find modern art fairly crap though (and by art I am referring to paintings, sculptures, elephant poo etc.)
