what's wrong if there is "no skills"? infact it is more difficult to get something out with "no skills"! that is what we artist trying to do ... get it out from our sub-concious mind. People whom you think got "skills" - they are just painter, not artist.

The Simpsons fucking suck

[sweatNitout]

her version of art requires no skill and very little imagination.

the National Endoumeant for the Arts increased it's annual budget by 12.5 mil.

[HenhousetheRed]

I don't believe there is a "type" of art that requires no skill, rather, there are artists who have varying degrees of taste. Some artists are satisfied with great effort and spend years refining the ability to render reality perfectly. Others are satisfied with simplicity and don't need to make monumental paintings to get the message across. Who's to say it takes no imagination? Sometimes the bravest thing we can do in this world today is just stand still.

[sweatNitout]

Well, believe it because what she does requires no skill. To believe otherwise means either you are in denial about it(if so then why) or you have never painted yourself. There is no difference between her art and what young children do.

Watch the full episode if you can and see what little effort she puts in to her pieces. Every drip or smudge is not a mistake- it's "post modern".

It is a joke. That's what it is.

Where did you study art at? I want to know so I can burn the place ot the ground.

[Parmenides111]

This is very beautiful and nice, what the artist says. Thank you, ART21, for posting this video!

I like what the artist says about his art - and how she says it. She is a real artist: doing what she has to do! That those people can earn with that a lot of money nowadays is not there fault. An authentic artist is doing what he is doing because he/she must do it.

the drippy paint thing is so amateurish.

[lolatyoulol]

said like a true amateur

[lizzy22287]

She "thinks" it's called wabi sabi?!?!?! I respect her love and use of colors, but please do not bastardize this concept and make it in any way synonymous with being "lazy" or "easy". By taking their words without knowing the context you are doing both a disservice. Beautiful simple work can be made without misusing someone else's vocabulary.

[thePhilep]

glad I discovered her for myself!

[MrPixies]

I missed this episode, twice, I hope it'll be on the hulu page, if it isn't already.....I really like this stuff,

[TheFolkUtopia]

I can definitely see a Simpsons inflience o her color schemes. Very simplistic but balanced.

[Air0ne]

she is so honest to speak out the fact that she is lazyXD

[quenchedinlife]

this bitch has got no talent, dont understand how she's become successful?

[Air0ne]

i guess she is pretty much influence by abstract expression, and also good at colors. Perhaps she could be more hard edge.

[bunz11]

Even if you think she has no talent, that doesn't make her a bitch.
