Mapplethorpe, wasn't he the dude that took weird pics, like with one dude with a long bullwhip coming out of his arse like a tail?

All these years I have been throwing away my furnace filters and now I find out I could have gotten rich selling them as art.

The worst part is that our tax money is paying to support a large portion of this..... 'art'.

Ah yes, "Giant hairball", by Spot.

Most forget that some of the most brilliant minds walk the thin line between genius and insanity, some stumble back and forth between the two realms- places most of us 'average' folks only dream of visiting.

I don't particularly like that painting, but I think Neiman and Picasso are masters. Maybe this guy is, maybe he isn't- but art is subjective.

Thats the real beauty.

Plus one and so true Malak, I highly suggest you people rent "Proof" with Gywneth Paltrow and Anthony Hopkins, new release on DVD, and shows exactly what Malak is talking about.

Jack Morris · « **Reply #27 on:** February 27, 2006, 07:49:20 pm »

Oooops, I meant to say SIR Anthony Hopkins, a title well deserved, IMHO.

Damn! That means my wonderfull art piece "Bloody tampons on canvas" isn't art?!?!

It took me all month to make it! Well, most of that time was spent waiting..

I have a standing opinion, if I can do it, ITS NOT ART.

Art is a skill. modern art is skillkess junk.

thgis is my favorite artist!!! how dare you make such a judgement. he invented the abstract-expressionist movement in the us. he became famous in the 50's and influenced deKoening, picasso (to some extent) and a host of other painter in the day. abstract was dying and needed new life. he gave it that life. you say " this is art?" well, i feel the same way about realism. take a picture!. if you don't like it, don't look at it. to judge it like you did is very ethnocentric!

I can't wait to see "Bloody tampons on canvas". Pics please!

What the heck??!!

I make judgements on it because that's what you are supposed to do with art. It's put out there to be looked at and judged.

This piece I judge to be crap. It looks like it was made by a funnel cake machine that went awry. How does that make me ethnocentric? I haven't a clue what the ethnicity of the artist [sic] is.

That is fine and dandy, my only point is, if you like that stuff, you support it. Don't force us all to support it thru government taxes.

That goes double for PBS.

As soon as there is no more tax dollars going for sport's, I'll back the removal of tax dollars for art.

If you do not have cable or satellite PBS provides a nice alternative to the dreck that is most of commercial television. The amount of money that PBS receives is minuscule compared to what is flushed down the toilet that is called Social Services.

That goes double for PBS.
