lol copypasta turns into a debate on art.
I barely know water color from oil.
I think splattering a canvas with paint is actually mocking art. I wouldn't care if Jesus himself got cups of paint and tossed it on a canvas I want no part of it.
What is even worst there are 4 year old girls and elephants selling art for outrageous prices.
The fact you mention the perception of the art world there is key, I think, as I don't think the "I can do that too!" influence of abstraction has done much (on its own) to actually dilute the level of talent within modern/contemporary art. Or to have dumbed down its trajectory since the start of the modern/post-modern/contemporary eras.
Somewhat removing the art market from the equation, since people with too much money will spend it wherever they're told and since it's the market where people seem to really command more attention than they perhaps deserve, it is much harder to succeed in one of the abstract genres than it is in the figural genres. If you can make things that look like what they're supposed to look like, you'll always have an audience and you'll always have a clear level against which your work can be judged. Without those figural or realistic cues, however, it is MUCH more difficult to convince people your work successfully conveys what you intended. It is also more difficult to dodge the accusations of repe ion or copycatting, as anyone who goes out and tries their hand at color field painting is automatically going to be compared against Rothko (or Ellsworth Kelley, or Gerhardt Richter, or whomever). It's difficult to find a new take on that. However, it is possible for several people who paint in a realistic style to be successful on their own, as the subject matter can often enough to differentiate them even if the style is similar to someone else's.
For all of you dispariging Rothko, I encourage you to visit the Rothko Chapel in Houston. These images do not do the works justice. See them in person.
The Rothko Chapel is amazing. I was skeptical before seeing it in person because the reproductions are so underwhelming, but that visit alone did a lot to finally knocking me onto the pro-Rothko side of the argument.
Yep. The whole experience is just really well done.
Meh, I look at most art like those ionic bracelets. It's more a power of suggestion, people telling you it's a great piece, than it actually moving you. For example, Starry Night looks like paint by numbers.
Van Gogh is one of those artists I appreciate more than actually like, so Starry Night doesn't move me much, either. But lots of art genuinely does.
Not everyone responds to it, though, which is cool.
seen his movie and struggles through life to be recognize as an artist...
only cuttin his ear and death made him famous...
Wrong as usual...

Like I said, you learned one face and you draw it over and over. Even the girl and the gorilla have the same basic face.
Draw a basketball player.
You're one of those.."I gotten find something wrong"....most punks are. Dude, I've won contests I know my ability.
The gorilla and the girl look nothing alike at all.

This guy and the chick have the same eyes. The gorilla and the dude have the same shoulders.
Ooooh a comic book copy cat, you're my hero.
If you were any good you'd post something other than drawapig entries.
Exactly. Thanks for admitting you can't draw for .You're one of those.."I gotten find something wrong"....most punks are. Dude, I've won contests I know my ability.

Of course I can't, you would never ever ever ever say anytjhing remotely close to...pretty good. That's not you, you're a prick in hiding, everything "must" be negative.
I once drew a picture of a dog off those match book covers, entered a local contest, three counties, I won. We had a county contest when I was in junior high, we had to draw Lincoln. I won. We had an exchange art thing with Japan kids back in high school. I represented my HS.
I know, I know it looks liike the girl.
I don't think you realize how hard it to draw using this method.
