Ok, this just fucking kills me. I love art, in all its shapes and forms, as do most of us in some way or another, goes without saying. I realise that art is subjective, my opinion is certainly not the end all be all of anything. That being said..... WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE. A Jackson Polluck painting recently sold for 11.6 fucking MILLION dollars. For that hack???? For those not familiar with his paintings
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/040512/480/nyr10405121543is a picture of this 11.6 million dollar multi coloured cum rag. Cavemen would be pissed if someone put this on their cave walls. Forget all the paintings and painters so much more worthy of 11.6 milion dollars, who will never sell for more then a thousand, because their name is not in vogue. Maybe I have no right to say its not art, but I have a right to say its not good, and I sure as fuck have the right to say an 11.6 million dollar painting..... it is not. This is why the whole world chuckles at art enthusiasts, and they should if this is the barometer of worth, its nonsense. If some 20 something art satudent came up to, what i would hope is the vast majority of us, and offered us that exact painting for 11 dollars and 60 cents we wouldn't give him the time of day, or we would laugh, and I for one would not feel guilty about laughing, as it would hopefully encourage them to actually put some fucking effort, imagination and skill into any future works. It's not a masterpiece, its a fucking mess, people kill me.
