Roaring Biscuit!

Do you think those pieces of art shouldn't exist because you don't care for them, or are you just venting?

its more that I'm sick of people's narrow-minded views on what is and isn't art/beauty.  I actually love Da Vinci, though mostly for his designs and inventions.

Then when i got thinking about the limits of what I find beautiful it sorta turned into all the bullshit about blood and gravy :wink:

IS ART.





Which is to say, your rant is so 1917.

Yeh, i know its old news, but the majority of the population still haven't caught on.  I also perhaps i should throw out the idea, that my "art" view basically leads to a consideration of everything as having artistic merit, and the word art, and the serperation of "art" and "life" becomes irrelevant and meaningless.

It's still been less than 100 years, give it time.  But all the same, look at the advances that have been made since Duchamp.

Cage
music "Concrete"
"Industrial" music
Cinema verite
"reality" TV
Graffitti/vandalism recognized by Museums as valid art.

Ah, then I agree with you.

I can totally dig that, there is something beautiful about urban decay, take Detroit for instance never have i seen so much abandoned like a giant playground discarded by spoiled children.

I've got $5 that says you never got out of your car anywhere in the D that was more than a block off of Woodward or Fort. That place would eat someone like you for breakfast.

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"
