There was no riddle. I posted shit art.

"Shit art" that nobody raves about (as per the op) 'cos you just made it up for the thread?

Was it initially meant to be some "critique" of abstract art that you've since thought better of?

Because that's how it looks to me...

Me too, it's already in my head!

Is anyone "raving" about these abstractions though?

Only in delirium, in my opinion. Only in delirium.

I can look at a Van Gogh and not know anything about it yet enjoy it and I can appreciate the landscape without knowing where it is. I dont need to know the artist's innermost thoughts or feelings. I can interact with the art. Knowing some more about the background to the painting helps me appreciate the artist and his struggles but doesn't necessarily effect my appreciation of the painting itself.

How can you know how you'd feel about Van Gogh from a position of ignorance? Certainly many of his contemporaries didn't manage to enjoy it.

 

[bubblesmcgrath]

How can you know how you'd feel about Van Gogh from a position of ignorance? .

How can you ask how I know how I feel?
I know how I feel because I'm human.

I think the point being made is that it's impossible to approach a Van Gogh not knowing anything about it.

 

[moon]

I don't really get why Lichtenstein is so raved about...

 

[Cid]

Indeed.

Could you explain what you mean by "approach"?
Are you saying that one cannot appreciate or like or enjoy it?
And what knowledge exactly does one need to know about it before "approaching" it?

I think you misunderstand Blagsta's point somewhat.

You can't appreciate a Van Gogh purely as a picture.

Why not?
