Yeah. Especially if you cant spell.

What a stupid title. You have not viewed or read 100% of all modern art and poetry. Mega fail on your behalf.

Wasn't it John Lennon who said something like 'avant-garde is French for BS'?

There's an awful lot of claptrap about that passes for modern art, though some stuff that is interesting and cleverly done, I'm sure.

I agree most modern art isnt the best but 99% is very high.

Thing that annoyed me was the unmade bed piece... sold for millions

It wasn't art for me... it was an unmade messy bed, i could do that but id never get 5m or whatever for it..

Worst thing was he didnt draw it he took a picture on a camera..

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.

I would have to say that most modern art that I've seen is fairly crap, my kids could do a better job tbh but that's just my opinion, maybe I'm not not deep enough "to get it"

Its not that you are not deep enough it is just that you are too honest.

Nuff' said.

I love mornings on TiBB.

[pinkmichk]

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

[Stu]

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

[pinkmichk]

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

True. I guess LT finds 99% of modern poetry crap too?

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