"When you read a book, you're often so involved with the space generated by the author that whatever happens in front of you disappears; people pass by, and you don't even notice them. You've paid the price of admission, and you've entered that space. A lot of people come to art, and they look at it (and this is one of the problems of contemporary art) and so they don't actually enter the realm that the artist was involved in. They have a little more distance there." --James Turrell

Re: Let's Talk Art!
I can't recall the name but I read an article on an artist who was diagnose with Alzehemiers (sp?). He painted his journey with it via painting his self pictures. Guy was one helluva artist and slowing it descends into a odd blob mixed of colors. Sad yet fascinating at the same time.
Re: Let's Talk Art!
I like a slew of artists. I recently discovered Robert Gober. Love his stuff.

Re: Let's Talk Art!
Well, yeah, he did. He seemed much more in his element when writing brutal tragedies.

Re: Let's Talk Art!
That's exactly what he did. Shakespeare was a playwright who wrote to entertain the lowest denominator, to get as big an audience as possible. Not to mention his work often kills any passion in literature most children have pre-being-forced-to-read-his-workMcDuffies wrote:Shakespeare wrote "hockey, unintelligible situation comedies"?

Re: Let's Talk Art!
I'd just end up saying that Shakespeare wrote his plays to be popular, not to be deep and timeless, and then someone would say I hate the theater and English, and then I could never return because it would spiral out of controlPhact0rri wrote:Don't make me start a literature thread! ^_^

Re: Let's Talk Art!
I hate art, almost as much as I hate artists (The irony is not lost on me). Modern "art" is a fraud and the game of charlatans, and musicians are whiny little turds who blame capitalism for not being able to get gigs in bars (Not kidding on this one - in a conference of regional artists last year the speaker who was representing musicians literally blamed Capitalism for musicians doing poorly. He had a 15 minute pity party on why it sucks to be a musician in the digital age before I had enough of his bullshit, told him that hard work and not government intervention is key to the success of artists, and walked out on the conference)
I think Crumb put it best...

"ART" is just a racket, a HOAX perpetrated on the public by so-called "Artists" who set themselves up on a pedestal, and by decadent, ivory-tower "critics" who think the world owes them a living!
