It's like the viewers of Fox "News" were made into a painting.

Yeah, what he said. LOOK GUYS, I' ve drawn a square. IN YELLOW! Now gimme a million!I dislike modern art that's just a bunch of lines, or splattered paint, or blocks of paint. I don't care what you say about them about 'being abstract', its simply not art.
why arent we allowed to pick the mona lisa ? that was the first thing that i thought of when i saw this thread. i honestly just dont see what so special about it.
It's because of the creepy girl in the middle of the painting who will end up killing everyone else there.

And I find it highly hypocritical that the Sistine Chapel (indeed, lots of paintings of that general time) are full of naked people -- in other words, they're smut.
That's what I was going to put up. I don't see any redeeming value.
SO I'M TOTALLY RIGHT.
APOLOGY PLEASE.
Naked people are the polar opposite of smut. The human body is freakin' gorgeous and you can see it better without covering it with stupid pants.
I get physically infuriated when I think of someone thinking this painting is deep or noteworthy or anything other than stupid and lame.
That is magnificant. Who would have thought a pipe is not a pipe. But clearly it is not. It is a penis. Yet the bowl has vaginal overtones. And they are connected as we are all connected in the lonely banality of our pathetic existance. Deep.
Its a comment on American mass consumption

Excuse me, Lucy, but pants are awesome. I think you owe pants an apology, especially jeans and pinstripes.
Eh. I dunno if I'm any more impressed.

I got no gripe with optional pants. Mandatory pants are a problem.

Why not? Why must art be representational?I dislike modern art that's just a bunch of lines, or splattered paint, or blocks of paint. I don't care what you say about them about 'being abstract', its simply not art.
Just because there is a lot of pretense about abstract art doesn't mean abstract art itself is nothing but pretense! The reason abstract art breeds pretense is because it is about the subjective experience one has when viewing it not how well it represents something (a much more objective criterion). That experience of course can be influenced by expectation and what others think.I think what summed it up for me is an artist standing outside a gallery with a painting which was literally just a white stripe on a black background. When professional art critics were told it had fetched £200,000 pounds or was by a famous artist their views changed markedly, than when they were told it was his painting and he had not exhibited it. Pretentious moi? When art is about reputation and money more than art, then its no longer art really.
THEY DON'T USE IT LIKE IN VOICE OF FIRE! VOICE OF FIRE USES COMPLEMENTARY COLORS TO EXPLOIT THE AFTERIMAGE EFFECT A PERCEPTUAL EFFECT I'VE NEVER SEEN USED IN A PAINTING BEFORE.OOH COMPLIMENTARY COLORS YOU KNOW WHO ELSE USES THAT ONLY TO MUCH GREATER EFFECT IS GOOD ARTISTS.
No apology.
Why no like? I like!Mark Rothko

In my mind, just as much music generally doesn't represent any sounds we hear in nature and still be art, abstract visual arts can do the same.
I disagree with the analogy here, abstract art is neither grating, nor always highly simplistic.Gotta rework that analogy there, no one is complaining abstract art is not art because it does not occur in nature...
The abstract art version of music would be a 5 minute song consisting of a single note. Or a beep. Or a ring. Or some random crap sound recorded of god knows where that has no real significance unless someone told you a grammy winning artist composed it.
It's quite famous so it's probably worth at least a few million, maybe a few tens of millions. How much do you think the most expensive bottle of wine is worth?Btw, how much do you think that orange painting is worth? Without looking it up.
