Post a picture of a work of art that has no meaning to you

[Misunderestimator]

I have no feeling for this picture. It's a beautiful woman. And she has very big eyes.

This picture has never reminded me of anything!

:bounce: (:hi: Lynne ;))

[GreenPartyVoter]

[Xipe Totec]

[Misunderestimator]

27. Oh good idea!

[johnnie]

56. I just looked at it again

I'm still laughing. You should put that in your sig line..LOL.

[Misunderestimator]

60. Check out my new avatar:

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Zuni]

40. my gut hurts from laughing

:rofl:

[Mutley]

5. This one.

I guess it's a decent picture of a tree trunk. You wouldn't find it hanging in my living room, though.

[wtmusic]

8. Through its unmeaningfulness it has meaning

you are doomed.

[DS1]

9. Too fucking easy!

This fundie prick


This Pretentious Douchebag


And this guy I respect, but he pulled the biggest fast-one on the "art" world ever

[matcom]

10. RUNAWAY BRIDE!!!

:scared:

[DS1]

12. Basquiat totally sucked balls too

[Misunderestimator]

20. Oh yes... that does suck.

[Zuni]

43. I hope the guy who painted that is a starving artist

because I will lose faith in humanity if someone purchased something that foul

[DS1]

51. He started out as a graffitti artist, a poor one at that, Warhol

picked him up and suddenly rich white guys from uptown were paying thousands of dollars hands over fists to get his pieces, and be 'cool', and 'street'.

Laughable, every last one of them. The scam artists, and the scammed.

[sundog]

14. here

is it a baby? is it mad?

am i supposed to care? :shrug:

[Misunderestimator]

23. ROFL... It's a treble clef seen through a keyhole from hell..

of course... what else could it be? :rofl:

[sundog]

42. treble clef tattooed on a satatnic fetus being spyed on through a keyhole

in hell

:rofl:

[Misunderestimator]

46. Yes, that's it!!!

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Zuni]

50. Is that Charlie brown after getting cut in a bar fight?

:shrug:

[XNASA]

16. Dog Art

I like dogs. But what's up with paintings of dogs?

[Shell Beau]

29. That is a greyhound on steroids.

I know they are muscular b/c of racing and such but damn!

[ET Awful]

48. Steroids my ass, he's been skinned and those are his exposed

muscles showing.

[wtmusic]

62. Someone thinks two of these are worth half a mil

[LynneSin]

19. This picture and the person in this picture

:puke:

[GreenPartyVoter]

24. Oh, that stuff isn't so bad in small doses. Makes for nice puzzles

[Shell Beau]

25. Splatter paint. I just don't like it! Sorry to any Pollock fans.

[LynneSin]

39. If I could paint it - it's not art to me

and believe me, I could do that!

[Shell Beau]

52. My friend and I did do it.

It looked pretty much the same. I am sure art critics would disagree. But splatter paint? Please.

[wtmusic]

59. Not defending Pollock per se

but there is a difference between good and bad splatter paint. It's all about color combinations and textures. Pollock deserves credit for doing good splatter paint and being one of the first. Anything beyond that is hype.

[Shell Beau]

61. Okay so Pollack is the best of the best

of splatterers! :crazy:

[JPZenger]

26. Statue Remembering Poles Killed by Soviets in 1940

The above statue is in Jersey City NJ near Exchange Place, along the Hudson River. It remembers the 22,000 Poles, including 15,000 prisoners of war, who were massacred by the Soviets in 1940. The Soviets for years tried to blame the Germans. However, the evidence now shows it was ordered by Stalin to remove potential leaders in Poland who could threaten Soviet domination of the country.

[Misunderestimator]

33. Yikes... what a thing to look at every day.

[Zuni]

36. That is a really ugly statue

Honorable intentions, hideous design

[asthmaticeog]

28. Damien Hirst's pharmeceuticals series

This is the kind of bullshit you get when an artist gets SO famous nobody questions what he or she does anymore. Gaaaaaack.

[ghostsofgiants]

30. The photography of Anne Geddes

She is quite possibly the Anti-Christ.

[Trigger Hippie]

37. Oh, God

I hate her so much. :puke:

[Zuni]

32. from the Museum of Bad Art

that site ------------> :rofl:




(that is Abe Lincoln's Wife, mary Todd)



(this is just awful)

:hi:

[Misunderestimator]

34. Angry, angry clown:

[Zuni]

38. hahahahahaha

:spray:

I am really laughing out loud. People in my office think I am crazy

:rofl:

[NoSheep]

35. This seems rather pointless:

[DS1]

41. While I'm on topic - 99.95% of all art is shit.

There, I said it.

[Misunderestimator]

44. I agree... though I might put it at 99% to be generous.

[Zuni]

49. I generally hate art

I don't get most of it :shrug:

modern art always seemed like the biggest scam to me. Splash paint around on a canvas randomly and some asshole pays you 20,000$ for it.

I wonder why I never did that when I needed money. :(

[northzax]

71. if you hate it

it's getting a reaction out of you, which is what it's supposed to do. The worst thing a painting can make you feel is nothing.

[wtmusic]

47. Yes, but not all shit is sublimely benign nt

[XemaSab]

45. Christo

Looks like the place is going to be sprayed for roaches.

On edit: I'm not sure if this is really on topic with regards to the OP, because I'm not sure this fits the definition of "art."

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

53. THANK YOU

Christo's work is the most overrated "art" I've ever seen. I wish I could hang a long row of ugly orange curtains in Central Park and have it be called art by other people.

NYPD would probably fine me for that, though.

[XemaSab]

54. The only thing more pretentious

than Christo's "art" is glowing reviews of Christo's "art."

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

55. Ugh, definitely.

:puke:

[gmoney]

57. W's Christmas Card "art"

For some reason, it's still in my photobucket, but I have NO clue why anyone was actually looking at this, except maybe to laugh at what W considers "fine art."

[Fenris]

58. "Inspiration" by an unknown artist

[Misunderestimator]

64. LMAO..... Ha... Ha.... Ha... LOLOLOL

That's hilarious!! From the weird two dimensional organist to the priest coming down the hallway to the sheep at the white jesus' feet (who by the way, looks really old... he has a wrinkly neck and he looks like he's going bald) and are those wings? :rofl:

That's one ugly painting.

[progmom]

63. well this is an interesting assignment

Robert Rauschenberg: Untitled, 1974.

[Misunderestimator]

65. That's pretty meaningless all right.

:thumbsup:

[swag]

66. One of the few Kostabis that doesn't turn my gut or my crank

[Samurai_Writer]

67. self delete

Doh, nevermind. I didn't read the thread title correctly.

[Misunderestimator]

68. Deleted too...

But I liked the painting... :)

[Samurai_Writer]

69. I put it in the appropriate thread...
