Art that people rave about that's actually shit.

[bubblesmcgrath]

well, that may be true, mostly because you copied someone else's work (or tried to copy it)

Actually I didn't copy any of his work. You won't find any one of his the same as it. I deliberately used an extra band of colour.
I painted a field painting in the style of Rothko.
Big difference ...

 

[bubblesmcgrath]

Yes, but most of the artists on this thread aren't shit.

I'm debating the point made re the thread title.

 

[bubblesmcgrath]

Yes, but most of the artists on this thread aren't shit.

So saying "I like x" is enough?
Because saying "I don't like Y" seems to mean more than "it's shit".

I'm off for a walk. ..

Since you started the thread perhaps you'd like to explain what you meant by 'actually shit'?

What?
The title as already said is one of a series of titles of similar names....there are similar threads on..
Music
Records
Film

Ah yeah, forgot for a moment. But shit is purely subjective. Put the 'actually' before it and it adds an element of objectivity. I might think Kavangh is shit, but that's not the same as saying that his work is objectively bad, that it any liking of it is deluded. To look at it in the context of the book thread there are some authors who are clearly utterly shit but retain a following. Ayn Rand's utterly turgid writing and poorly thought-out ideas have a shitness that goes beyond mere opinion.

Because sometimes a piece of art really is shit...whether I like it or not is irrelevant.
I like my homage to Rothko but I know it's shit...

Yet you are proud enough to put one on your profile

That's the work of a friend of mine who put it on a t-shirt. I like it. I don't think it's shit either.

You wear it ?

No. I just liked the image so put it on my profile. I would have when I was younger though.

Are you very old?

Or is there a strict dress code in you?

I'm just over 40. What are you on about?

Just wondered why you don't wear it ...

Cos it's a bit daft to wear a t-shirt that refers to your board name when most people don't have a clue what it refers to. I would have loved that ten years ago, but not now.

I see we're 31 pages in. But the OP quite neatly sums up their problem here.

The price tag.

Forget about the price tags. Then you might get more joy from art with price tags of millions and art with no price tag at all.

Even if this were handed to me for nothing it would be shit and shit.

Oh.

But I can see your predicament clearly now...

What do you mean? Joseph Beuys? He's brilliant. Seriously fuck off with your willful ignorance.

Wtf is wrong with you? What are you even saying? You respond to sensible posts by making a trivial observation that can be deniable as just a joke or a bit of silliness. How can anyone hope to have a sensible discussion about this with you?

You're the one saying this ^^^.
You associated it with your board name. Nobody outside the board would associate it with your avatar or board name. ..so why not wear it?

Cos some people would know and cos I no longer enjoj (so much) clothes with much in the way of pictures or writing on them anymore. That is a young man's game.

I like Joseph Beuys unsurprisingly enough.

I've " liked " posts because I appreciated the fact that people got involved in the thread.
