even though your reply seems to have nothing to do with my post,

he's saying that fraud is a means by which art makes people mad.

QuoteI'm still curious as to why you find fraud hilarious, in particular? I don't run into too many people who find it entertaining. is there a particular context in which you enjoy fraud? or is it just in general?

I think he's using horrormirth, ":horrormirth:" the local brand of cynical humor. Fraud is awesome in the same way that falling down the stairs is awesome.

I laugh when art makes people mad.

Yeah, fraud is hilarious.

Is fraud art?

Tricking people is always an art, but not always a science

Science is an art; conning is sometimes an art; so some art is a mix of science and conning.

It's science, trickery, or hoopla.

Hoopla?  Are you calling Hoopla a con man?  THAT'S A RACIST STATEMENT AGAINST CANADIANS!   :argh!:

If I'm not, I've certainly been wasting a LOT of time for the last few years...  dammit.

:troll: Is an artist that kills for art-sake an artist or just a dumbass with a twisted mind (I usually like a twisted mind but only if he isn't a murder what do you think.

ALL BOW BEFORE THE MIGHT OF DISCORDIA!!!

Both.  Next question...

:lulz: yes, it is totally that awesome!

I seriously just wanted automaton to explain its response to my post, as if I were the one who said art=fraud. while I do consider that the statement may have been facetious, I should not assume so until automaton explains its apparent agreement with my statement while it simultaneously and obviously imbued my statement with meaning it does not have. automaton's post is confusing. was it trying to be really deep? cuz I wasn't.

If "Art is what you can get away with", the it stands to reason that the artist is "getting away with something".



Of course, since you haven't deliniated between commercial art and some ineffable aesthetic, then I am able to use either interchangably.

I looked at this again and it struck me how idiotic it is. is that really what he's saying? because seriously, I can be artistically forthright and piss lots of people off.

saying "if art is what you can get away with, then the artist is getting away with something" seems like an attempt at logic, possibly cum hoc ergo propter hoc.

but thank you for citing your source, I wasn't aware (and I admit this with some shame) that warhol said that.

You realize, I am just ribbing you.

The word "Art" can be taken many ways, and many claims for it being a "fraud" can be made.

For example, a painting of a sunset is not a real sunset.  It is a fraud.
