If you want to diss it without any specific point or analysis, you are only showing your own lack of knowledge on the history of art. Try reading up on it to see why it was created. There are good reasons and you may be pleasantly enlightened to the real workings of modern culture and its significance to the way things are.
If you want to understand why this exists, try watching the DVD "Painters Painting" There are valid reasons for this work to be accepted. It is not always meant to be visually pleasing.
They made it to challenge previous assumptions about art which were stifling, stuffy and even stupider to most intelligent people than this seems to be to many of you. If you believe that art should only be pretty pictures of politically correct scenes, all void of deeper human thought, argument, and provocation, then you are in agreement with the likes of certain notorious, murderous dictators who I'll not mention by name.
you know modern art reminds of the story about the king that likes fashion and got hustled by 2 crooks who made him an invisible robe and told him that if you dont see it u r stupid and only the little kid said the king is naked
same with modern arts, you dont see the artistic value then u r unintelligent and not sophisticated
At least he's straight-forward, and didn't give it some stupid name like "The Agony of a Trapezoid". I don't consider it art, but if someone's willing to pay for that, then you go Alexander Liberman.
How can this not be fine art? It's cleaely brimming with talent! Just look at the perfection of each circle and note that they are the exact same! Wake up all of you people, you are witnessing with you very eyes extreme artistic talent!
Wow, what a balanced composition. I like the way that the painting puts the observer in a state of non-decisiveness. The circles are placed right in the focal point of painting and you want to choose one circle but you ultimately cannot because they are both equal.
im in art class this semester and i just think that people who study art read too much into it. Especially that garbage modern art. Just plain stupid. Even more stupid are the people who buy this shit.
There's a thing that i don't understand, why if i take a blank picture and i do a scratch in the middle of it it's not art? I guess they are all recomendded!
outrageous, pointless pieces (paintings, installations, drawings...anything really) that no one in their right mind would create without the influence of today's art "culture"
......only crazy people would make stuff like this on their own
....you get sane people making modern "art" b/c it's the only thing that's accepted within the art "world"
....and wtf is the different between modern and postmodern? other than the time period it was made....eg 1978 vs 1992...lol
modern art is so fucking stupid, i hate it so much. poop in a cup is not art. 2 dots on a wall is not art. a urinal on a pedestal is not art. 4 basketballs floating in a tank of water is not art, its TRASH. seriously an elephant can paint just as good as jackson pollok can, and it can do it without being on drugs or being really drunk. if we as human beings call this shit "art" than we seriously have gone down hill from what we used to be.
Wowwwwwwwwww so inspiring and breathtaking..... wait it's just two fucking stupid dots!!! The only reason artists like this exist is because of government subsidies. The demand curve for art isn't downward sloping, it's completely ridiculous. FREEDOM FOR THE WIN! SEARCH RON PAUL, PETER SCHIFF, TOM WOODS FOR MORE LIBERTARIAN INSIGHTS.
This is a bold statement on society and how we seem to hold priority over education rather then concentrating on the bold arrogance of organized religion and didactically on the origin of our species
The "artists" simply throw together a bunch of simplistic garbage, then take out a thesaurus and go on writing metaphors about their piece of duck tape glued to a pop can so that "if you don't like it, you don't get it and should be more open minded".
A) it isn't hard to paint a perfect circle if you use template.
B) the world isn't simple it is complex.
C)Taking a piss in a jar and throwing a cross in it is enough to get you in some museums.
D)Museum's Modern "art" is joke the real art is pop culture, movies, computer games, hell there are even a 10000 pages of comic books which would be better to hang in a museum then that.
F) is the grade i would have gotten in my 8th grade art class if i turned that in as my work.
If you are a renowned artist in any sense (that meaning you have done a piece requiring some degree of talent), I think you could take a crap on a canvas and make money for it.
