Which is what?

I don’t think that really works. If you go to buy a car you go to a car dealer. You don’t decide what a car is you decide what sort of car you want. I...

I like it.

One day a man called while I was out And left this message: “You got the whole thing wrong From start to finish. Luckily, there’s still time To correc...

“ The notion that works of contemporary visual art can have multiple interpretations which are created by the viewer is the alternative to the traditi...

I don’t think that’s what frank meant at all. This is what he said; “ All those things grew organically out of their times.“ The time happened first, ...

Some people do lead lives that are absolutely unique compared to most others. Their lives might be considered creative.
February 02, 2020 at 00:04
Except a monkey can do that. So there’s still the issue of intent, which comes first.

Big assumption. We don’t know if you learnt anything or understood anything about Shakespeare. You can claim the stories suck, but at the time people ...

Because he sounded interesting and I didn’t know anything about him. So I thought it would be interesting to talk with you about him and find out a bi...

This is the bit I don’t understand. Are you asking or is it rhetorical? Edit: how does my last comment equate to your single sentence?
February 01, 2020 at 09:15
I don’t understand this.
February 01, 2020 at 09:06
So you felt like you were being instructed. An old school hangover. It doesn’t require anything. It’s something to do if you feel like it. It’s a plea...

Okay. So then this OP just becomes an art gallery?

Andrei Tarkovsky. Why not try to break that down like a poem? Dot points. What are it’s qualities, what does it allude to, do it until you run out of ...

It was something I found on Adobe, just a drawing ability I could use on my iPad. But when I updated it I couldn’t find it again. Just a passing inter...

No, but speak for yourself maybe.

I think I’m going to change my mind on this. It’s true that the frequencies of light that our eyes receive determine the colour, or be more accurate, ...

That’s a big call. Care to back it up. Edit: by the way, the “urinal thing” has a name. Edit: “Duchamps point of this urinal thing was that Art can be...

I don’t care about your perceptions, I’m saying that the artist’s intention was not about emotion.
January 31, 2020 at 08:14
I didn’t say this. I said “They are exceptions to the idea that art is about emotion,” I’m guessing you looked at Finnegans Wake, did you? One example...

My post wasn’t about universal agreement on good or bad. It was about the characteristics of a person you couldn’t trust. I’m not sure but I think som...
January 31, 2020 at 02:48
Of course I can. But you’re just playing philosophy games. In this world you need to know when you’re being lied to, deceived and misinformed. Sure pe...
January 31, 2020 at 02:19
Which one? You can’t have both.
January 30, 2020 at 09:11
No it’s not. Read up on Cubism, Duchamp. Unless of course Picasso and Braque we’re deluded in their intentions.
January 30, 2020 at 09:06
A thought maybe, but an emotion is not the intention of those artists, nor do they expect an audience to instil an emotion when that is not their inte...
January 30, 2020 at 08:08
Ditto for you.

Relativist games. How does it work for you on the street, in a bar?
January 30, 2020 at 06:01
One can argue about whether art is good because one likes it and vice versa. But it’s possible you could determine whether a piece of art was “good” o...

Your post seems to suggest that artists are trying to include some sort of spiritual aspect to their work, regardless of what they believe. That all w...

As Noble Dust says, if spirituality in art is not respected, it implies that where an artist allows some kind of spirituality in art, they are wrong, ...
January 29, 2020 at 08:32
And what does this make the artist?
January 29, 2020 at 08:23
Yes, the world of the imitator, the fake, the thief.
January 29, 2020 at 08:22
I don’t understand this.
January 29, 2020 at 08:16
What exactly is it you mean by “a higher purpose”?
January 29, 2020 at 08:14
So this was all, but obscurely I felt the stirrings of new breath in the pages Which all winter long had smelled like an old catalogue. New Sentences ...
January 29, 2020 at 07:49
The obvious one would be the Cubism developed between Picasso and Braque.

Has there been art that is not meant for emotional communication?[/ Marcel Duchamp. Finnegins Wake
January 29, 2020 at 05:42
The question to be asked first is, where are we going, because that’s where art goes. Edit: unless it’s severely controlled like Communust Russia. But...

Do you have any way of proving that?
