Is it going to be one of those threads.
I clicked out of curiosity. pictures of pictures aside. I am trying to remember who people raved about when I was doing art. And coming up short. It wasn't people selling of millions though. They are just anomalies after all. I always liked Richard Sara's stuff. I don't know what it sold for. Why is priced the arbiter of art or equal to what is raved about. As with the other threads. When not judging them by how many books were sold, films by purely box office success.

This'll give you a 2 foot wide print. It's not a finished work but that'll probably make it worth more

If you ever seen a Rothko up front you'd change your mind.

Why? just because you like it?

No because his work is magnificent. On the face of it it just looks like two colours but his inception draws you into a world of helplessness. Picture it as a window and the red glare reflecting against your own conscience it asks questions whilst being subtle at the same time. You need to see it up front to understand. Either that or you don't get abstract Impressionism lol.

False dichotomy.
"I like it because of its <subjective quality>. If you don't like it then you don't understand it."
What arrogance.

lol false dichotomy you can't just say false dichotomy for no reason you know what it means? Anyhow I was just pointing out that you need to see a Rothko painting up front before passing judgement.

Of course I know what it means: I spelled it out in the very next sentence.
Misplaced condescension on top of arrogance. Brilliant.

I like Rothko's stuff, purely because I like the bold colours. But I'm afraid your description is art critic wankiness. You are Brian Sewell and I claim my £5.

Then again, it might just be shite.

You've ruined it for me by reducing it to a window...now all I see is a window. Before, it was a well of coloured imagination. Now it's a crappy argos blind pulled down on a sunny day over a shitty window..
Where's your conscience man?

i once met an assistant to david hockney. he mockingly asked me to 'draw a tree' (im a graphic designer, upon whom 'artists' look down on.)
here's some of hockney's work fwiw. beautiful eh?
Isn't this one of his ipad pics?

I've always gone with this definition:
Something that has been deliberately constructed to evoke specific thoughts and or emotions.
Fine art or high art:
A: does the above so badly so that only 'experts' can work out (or at least think they can) what was attempting to be evoked.
B: Has been made by someone with the right art world connections.
C: Has been made by someone famous or infamous (considered shit until you are told it's by that guy who went nuts and cut his ear off and sent it to someone).
