its easy to draw well
|
|
By:
No it ain't!
 |
|
By:
i don`t mean its easy, not for me. I just mean its not art.
|
|
By:
Aye it is !
 |

By:
its very difficult to come up with a new idea.

By:
there are tens of thousands of people who can draw well.
very few of them are artists and probably none are great |

I would say that, in all the time I've spent with artists - and I've met thoosands of the boogers - only ONE artist had a natural facilty for drawing - a Chinese guy called Danny...and that is it.

By:
yes thats quite possible.

If you're at one end of the autism (= human) spectrum, it is. The right combination of neuronal connections can make you reproduce what you see perfectly. Given that what we see is a total construct of our brains and exists nowhere else, especially not in reality (whatever that is).
I need another drink. I like to think of it as an aid to conceptual art. |

Chen Yi Fei (of China!) was the best contemporary exhibition I ever attended.

Or Chen Yifei...the reproductions don't do this guy justice...the paint is half an inch thick in places.

|
By:
Well, he ain't thinking - he's LOOKING!

Great art is something that keeps you looking - either keeping your brain working trying to figure out what's going on, or stunning you with beauty/perfection, the wisdom of age, or horror. It's our input that makes it great. We deserve a cut.
Wow - by annoying You Tube coincidence I'm listening to Vincent. You have to love a man who never sold a picture in his lifetime - is that true? |
|
By:
I'm pretty sure he sold quite a few, despite the mythology...his brother was a dealer too...
|
|
By:
If only we could have art without the dealers. I suppose that's like saying if only we could have digestion without ars*holes.
Sooner, rather than later, it will be possible to reproduce masterpieces perfectly, down to the smallest brushstroke. What will you have on your wall then Vel? Apart from Velasquez, obviously. |

Erm...photos of VW Beetles...and...old ships with sails...

Got THE ETHIOPIAN and THE WEST AUSTRALIAN on the wall behind me...

Before tonight, I had no idea Kate Bush had done a version of Sexual Healing. Not awful.

the Americans/CIA noticed that the art market was dominated
by foreign art. So they sponsored artists/modern art to create wealth in the USA. Art works became a stock. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/modern-art-was-cia-weapon-1578808.html |
