Date: February 7th, 2012 3:04 PM Author: mildly autistic mewling ape Anyone can throw paint on a canvas. A five year old could do that, yet he is revered as one of the greatest artists of all time. Why? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1867840&forum_id=2)#19916184) |

Date: February 7th, 2012 3:18 PM Author: arousing pea-brained ticket booth shitlib abstract expressionism and nearly all avant garde art is actually quite confining. If you paint to please the eye or to tell a story in a direct way or to be clever but have recognizable depictions your art is immediately deemed unintellectual and therefore not worthy of being taken seriously but the art world.

Date: February 7th, 2012 3:15 PM Author: arousing pea-brained ticket booth shitlib I didn't say he was...his art is. Academics took over the artworld making ideas more important than the art itself. It became tired and old and very out of date to paint something that is aesthetically pleasing (or, gasp, realistic)...art became more about theory and the idea behind the work than the art itself |

it's art that had inevitably to be done by someone, but it's not very good. Pollock also seemed retarded . |

Date: February 7th, 2012 11:12 PM Author: hilarious lime genital piercing IMO getting MAD in this day and age about Jackson fucking Pollock is just trite and stick-in-the-mud. Abstract expressionism helped break things open in art, but people don't really make that much out of it anymore beyond its historical importance. Meanwhile there are all kinds of awesomely awesome contemporary painters doing all kinds of cool stuff that really has nothing to do with splattering paint or shitting on canvass or whatever example conservatards use as angry jerkoff material.
