fullauto Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/03/01/gum.art.ap/index.html The gum stain probably has more qualities of 'art' than does the painting!

Lethalfind Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 I have to agree with you there, the gum could have only improved that one. It looks like someone spilled a couple colors on a canvas and stood back and tried to figure out who they could bilk out of high dollars with the piece of shit.

Cogito Ergo Sum Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Why am I not surprised with the level of intelligence around here... First off, Helen Frankenthaler is a renowned and respected artist who's art is actively collected in the WORLD. F.Y.I. - Art isn't supposed to appeal to everybody equally. Then it wouldn't be art, it would be propaganda. However, the painting in question was purchased long ago for around $2,000 and because of her notoriety, it's now worth $1.5 million. Quote . I put no stock in religion. By the word "religion" I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of god. I have seen too much "religion" in the eyes of too many murderers. Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, and goodness.

Leave it to you to twist the intentional defacing of very expensive artwork by a twerp kid into "the artist sucks". The kid is a vandal. The parents can be proud. Glad you are such a expert art critic. I hope your parenting skills are somewhat better. FYI: It has nothing to do with being "Avant-garde" (Oh BTW, you spelled it wrong). It's very nice modern art and many people love it, myself included. I love all forms of art in all mediums. Many forms of art were initially unappreciated in their day by many people, but later came to be some of the most respected and sought after artworks in the world. Umm...do Van Gogh, Cezanne, Monet, Picasso, Georgia O'Keeffe, Andy Warhol, or Keith Haring ring a bell with you? Probably not. You're about as art ignorant as the next moron. Just so you know, all of those artists are just a smidgen of those once considered "Avant-garde" and all are master artists who's works command the highest prices in the world. Yeah, that's right Lethalfind...This is where I tell you... Go fuck yourself you ignorant bitch! Don't talk about that which you know nothing about. If you don't like it, fine, YOU don't like it. That does not make it not art and certainly doesn't justify giggling about a child defacing it; in an art museum no doubt! I hope your daughter doesn't turn out to deface other peoples property and act so nonchalant about it like you.

tizz Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Regardless of the art, it still annoys me the lack of respect the kid showed. I mean he is 12 years old for crying out loud.

snafu Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Okay I don't know art. I do no what a pice of shit looks like. And that was one. It looked like a bad water painting. It's not worth the canvas it was thrown on. I guess I'll never get crap like that. It's a waste of money! Quote "You can't stop insane people from doing insane things by passing insane laws.

phreakwars Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 It looked like something "sixes" would draw.. I'll give em $20 bucks for it. 1.5 million my ass. I do not consider spilled paint on a canvas, art. So what if they paid $2000 for it originally. I say that terribly inflated 1.5 million dollar price was for insurance purposes. . . Quote https://www.facebook.com/phreakwars
tizz Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 I am definitely not a fan of the guys work (but then I also can't stand Matisse) but this guy IS pretty highly regarded and yes the $$ is accurate.

eisanbt Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 My opinions on works of art are based on things such as the artist's skill, creativity and sincere emotion expressed through whatever medium they're using. I see no such things in that bloch, its part of a relm I can't bring myself to enter. Unimpressed with the dumb kid none the less but idiots come in all ages.

I used to feel the same way about Salvador Dali. In high school I thought his work was crap. (It wasn't all pretty like Monet). Then I had the opportunity a year or two after graduation to actually SEE his paintings in a museum. He was a truly talented man.

Cogito Ergo Sum Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Hey I get a lot flack for loving Jackson Pollack, but his work up close is amazing. I also adore Jasper Johns Helen Frankenthaler is one of the foremost practitioners of the Abstract Expressionist style of painting. Highly influenced by Jackson Pollock, she changed her entire method of painting after watching him lay his unstretched canvases on the floor. This revolutionary approach to painting appealed to Frankenthaler, and she has taken this process one step further. http://www.gregkucera.com/_images/frankenthaler/frank_artist.jpg Quote .

tizz Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Ya, but I think she missed something. (just my opinion) Pollack OWNED the style and no one has been able to use th process as successfully as he has. I don't HATE her work, I just have never much liked it. I HAVE met a lot of people who LOVED her work though Quote "An intelligence that is not humane is the most dangerous thing in the world" Ashley Montague "No one should have to walk alone" Phuong Du "An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind" Ghandi "If I were asked to define an American in a single phrase, I would say 'An American is a person who has the right to be different' and I think that right is growing" William Manchester

A child who is not taught the value of all things, quickly teaches themselves how to devalue anything, even human beings. I absolutely agree that the kid is a vandal, HOWEVER I can't stand modern art, I'm not crying any tears over this one being damaged. If my daughter did something like this she would of course be in trouble but not because she has deprived the world of a treasure but because she damaged something that someone else valued. Whats funny is that you can take a subject about a painting that was damaged and make it about the kid when everyone is really going on about the painting being shit. I don't think anyone here would want their kid damaging something that someone else valued, whether it was an expensive painting on something of sentimental value that no one else cared about. This is not about lack of education my part its about I don't care for the style. Its not my thing and I think people who are into this, are into it because its in "in" thing.

snafu Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 It was humor Lethal. We all know he vandalized the painting. I don’t know if he new what he was doing at the time or not. But when you look at a blotch on a canvas and want to cry because it cost some much, you have to ask yourself who in their right mind would spend that kind of money on shit! Seriously does anybody think this painting is worth 1.5 million? What about all the spending for the war? blaa blaa blaa? What about all those hungry kids that go to bed at night?

Hugh G. Rekshun Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 All this artsy-fartsy talk is giving me a migraine....I for one believe in if you like something then so be it. I don't and won't subscribe to the whole "art" thing but then again, I am a lowly gearhead with about as much refinement as a bull in a china shop. Hell, a smudge of oil on the driveway is about as "artistic" as I go...and BTW, Ms. Fingerbanger, Frankenfurter, Fuckinfarter, or whatever fuck her name is, paints the same "spot" on a canvas that my '72 Chevy does on the pavement. Maybe I can get $1.5mil for my driveway!!
