Fake Artist

You're making fun of pictures? Generally I try to only make fun of things that I can do better than. Seeing as how art is subjective, it would be difficult to make fun of. Were you making fun of authors as well as artists? Because you know that even paintings that you think are "bad" people spend days or even weeks on. That they are labors of love. That people lose sleep and don't eat and let their social lives go to create the art that you think you can just make fun of.

Seriously, what the fuck?

I asked my daughter to give me some of her art for Christmas. She's an excellent artist and I know that. She gave me one and I said "Penis House. You gave me a penis house."

She said. "Mom, that's a guy in a Yoga pose with his hands over his head. See, that's the roof and that's...yes, you're right, it looks like a penis house."

It's a beautiful painting that's on my wall and we admire it and also think "Heh. Penis house."

I have a weird brain. *shrug*

Yes. You do. You should get that checked. Most people have this thing called "empathy". Especially for their own children.

Have you ever read "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother"? You'd like it.
 
My latest 'original' purchase. I'm not sure whether I like it as much as the more traditional art I've bought.

I love the Basquiat signature.

Did Basquiat work in eggs? I remember lots of demony things and red, but I don't recall turquoise and eggs.
 
candi - just to say that when someone's displaying their artwork in a gallery or some other public venue, and especially if they've stuck stupidly exorbitant price tags on it looking for buyers, then i feel quite at ease about not liking it and saying so - and why. and the only thing that should tell the artist is that i don't care for that particular piece and my reasons.

i don't personally care how much time or effort they've put into it: they could spend ten years creating something i regard as a disaster and insulted that i'd be asked to pay for it. and that's fine - i won't take the piss out of it, but would happily explain why it doesn't work for me. it may very well work for the next person who views it, and that's also just fine and dandy. a piece of art - whatever its genre - should be judged on its own merits and not on the personality/position/troubles/effort of its creator. judging art will never be totally objective, as what we bring to the table ourselves will always have ramifications on how we view a piece.

if we go the route of having to tell every artiste of every genre how wonderful their stuff is, just because they are young/old/disabled/emotionally or mentally traumatised (you get the picture), you open the doors to a whole lot of the crap we see nowadays posing as art, and the sort of displays of anger at rejection prevalent in x-factor auditions. it's not healthy to only say 'you're wonderful and need never lift a finger to strive for improvement' in what is, quite rightly, a discipline as there will never be any sort of growth.

Of course, if you want to tie it to video games and the sequential art world, we can't stop at Minecraft. The visible heart is reminiscent of The Legend of Zelda, while the blocks themselves can represent pixils. Pixil, and sequential art in general, is often overlooked in the art world, with notable exceptions such as I am 8 bit, even though for many postmodern artists, video games and other media have influenced our lives, sometimes even beyond the influence of traditional media. Combining these modern elements with the flowing organic lines making up the figure is remniciant of cubism, creating a flow of old and new, traditional and technical, that peers into the soul of an entire generation. That creates a bridge between overlooked postmodern artist, those who knew Mario before they new DaVinchi- and asks which is more important for the modern child's everyday life- or; if we even need to choose at all.

I could probably spend a good chunk of time talking that over with you. My young Cubist has introduced me to the unfamiliar world of video games. I sometimes look at the screen he's playing and I recognize something about the pattern. I swear that a game he was playing last week flashed a screen that had the handrawn quality of a Toynbee tile. I need to go look at that more.

I completely agree. That's completely different from saying, "I come to a gallery only to mock artists and make fun of pictures". That's the attitude I was speaking against. I love critiques. Like I said before, it was my favorite part of every class. But I love critiques from people who know what they're talking about. Just as when you run an art blog you expect anon hate- that doesn't make those people intellectual or worth listening too. The time that you spend hating on something only for the purpose of hating it, complaining, as opposed to critiquing, for the sole purpose of tearing down the artist, is time that you could have spent learning a new skill or improving your own art.

If you're going to a gallery only to complain, you're wasting time and occupying the space for people who want inspiration so that they can improve.

I love video games- Myamoto is probably one of my favorite artists of all time. You can see a lot of classic influence in some games, and others that break the mold completely. Of course, discussing graphics without gameplay and story is a very narrow scope. There are brilliantly written games that become an immersive novel. Then, before you know it, three days have passed and you're wondering why you're so incredibly hungry. It takes a brilliant work of art to draw in and captivate someone like that.

It's one of my most prized possessions and I'm the only family member that will proudly hang it where I can see its glorious snark every day.

His paintings are all over the house otherwise, but this one was in a closet. It's disrespectful.

MINE!

I can't paint. I write and I sing and I cook, but painting or drawing just looks like magic from another brain that has abilities my brain lacks.

If you put a pen, (pencil, paintbrush, whatever) in my hand, I can't draw.

BUT with CorelDraw I can. And I assume other computer programs will let you do much the same. But CorelDraw is pretty damn amazing. It has so many tools and features, I'm still learning to use them.

I believe you can download a free trial version.

There is something amazing in going from "I can't draw" to "I did that!" to "Wow, I'm actually starting to get kinda good with this."

You should check it out, I'm sure you'll get your "free's" worth.

That is very cool. However, my brain really is missing things. I don't "see" things in my imagination. I can't see pictures. If I close my eyes, it's dark. I can simulate sound and emotion and thought and words, but pictures are mostly meaningless to my inner dialogue.

If you put something in front of me I'd have to be able to visualize something new to do anything but just copy something I see...badly.

I have the opposite problem. I'm just now getting the hang of my tablet. I hate that I can't turn it, the way you can paper- you have to look at the screen instead of what you're drawing on and it makes me have to turn my head weird angles.
 
Today's purchase of an 'original' 20th Century drawing.

Salvador Dali's The Milky Way

I have the 'originals' in an archive file. I have copies on my walls.

The Picasso Child with a Dove was sold for £50 million. I know mine is a fake,* but some of my other 'original' drawings could be genuine. I can dream.


*My 'Picasso' is on modern plywood and is painted with acrylic paint. :D

Maybe Picasso had a DeLorean. You can't say for sure that he didn't.
