Yes, but is it art?

Your kidding?! It was so unsubtle I almost posted it myself.

 

Possibly, but most of us weren't around a hundred-plus years ago to
hear the original.

 

His kidding what? Your postings get less grammatically correct over
time, you know.

Indeed, it was the obvious response.

 

Technically, yes. Does that get me off the hook?

 

I'd go one step further and say anything that doesn't involve ANY kind of
ball is culture.

Oh. I didn't think it was that well known.

 

I've been to a number of modern art galleries, both here and in Europe.
My opinion is not based on either no experience or of visiting just one
gallery.

There will always be the occasional aberration that actually has some
merit, however 99% of it is, and will always be, shite. It is art's
answer to the Emperor's new clothes - it's a blag. The only talent these
'artists' have is selling worthless shite to supposedly intelligent
people.

Some Matisse would be in the 1%, yes. Not my sort of thing, but you
can't deny the talent required to produce some of his paintings.

It doesn't 'rile' me at all. I have no problem with retards being sold
shite by con artists.

I don't know what you're on about[1], if that helps.

Did you not get to see the Tate Modern, weetabix sponsored, Carl Andre
retrospective?

Krakatoa pre-1883 - what do I win?

He's got more sense. Mere representation isn't where it's at man.

Somebody's stolen the ironing board!

Drat.

 

For an artist to have talent, they simply have to be capable of
producing something that a normal person couldn't. That's not just the
actual mechanics of painting, sculpting etc. but the production of the
idea itself.

Being a pretentious arsehole, however, does not equate to talent.

'Oh, I'll put all the names of people I've shagged in a tent', for
example, does not require any talent - neither practical or
intellectual. 'Oh, I'll make a pile of plastic chairs' again requires no
practical or intellectual talent.

A Dali painting, sculpture or film (AFAIK, he only did Un Chien Andalou,
though) on the other hand, requires both. You may hate his works as much
as something by that irritating, relentless bitch, Emmons. However you
can't deny the talent required to produce his 'crap', which is something
you can't say about 99% of modern art.

Or not. Doh.

I will say this: it's absolute bollocks unless you know what the piece
is called, then it's a matter of personal judgement as to whether it's
still absolute bollocks.

 

Yeah, 'cos the Battle of Jutland was hoaching with Spitfires.

 

A shite picture? **** me, the crapness of the pic makes my eyes bleed.

 

Close - 102 years to be precise.
