Dan Perjovschi, WHAT HAPPENED TO US?, at MoMA (Part 2)

[onlytodayismin]

This was my first introduction to this guy, great ideas, every little comic he makes could be a single painting, with added depth and colors and dimensions. Some of them are amazing.

[ORCharlie]

People that don't understand this whole premise are the same people that cannot differentiate art to begin with.

[headacherack]

Art is the legal form of insanity....

[csikic]

bravo

[csikic]

bravo!

[romeodaphne]

yawn.

[U2Abe]

he had an idea...but no idea how to produce good art

[vampyrashu]

@U2Abe i couldn't say better.

[art280369]

so simple, excellet...

[Caagva]

I LIKE IT, so simple... there's no effectism... a guy drawing in a MoMA's wall...this

[HAMISRAP]

Pues a mi me parece... Una mierda, quien le enseño a dibujar un niño de 3 años???

Que se afeite la barba y se busque un trabajo d verdad. HP

[nicolaecom]

arriba telenovela!

[mnat28]

que tonteria.. no se trata de la calidad de sus dibujos-en lo absoluto!!

Sino lo q expresan esos dibujos simples.. hay que ver mas alla de las narices de uno... pero eso lamentablemente no es para todos sino para personas inteligentes y pensantes....y con una mente abierta...

[babyhans]

I think this is cool- to have this at MOMA.

[tobiigormaxibarsi]

You should try to see the greater context of a work of art, not to reduce it to the mere aesthetic moment. Even a Leonardo means less if not put in the context of the artistic tradition of what the artists before them have achieved. You ought to put the question why and in which context an artist has done something but not something else and chose this way and not the other. This is always valid, so try doing it. I'm not necessarily trying to defend Perjovschi, still...

[repelghosts]

Basquiat country the spic said, well continue to copy Jean and all of us cultured folk see right thru you....M.O.M.A...

Behind as always,if you ever require 3 or 4 new exhibition organizers,plase email any one of us...You losers...

Da G---actually, you do not deserve our signature.

[repelghosts]

I find most of his cartoons more or less liberal cliches...sort of boring. I'm frankly not interested, and I ask you what purpose does this serve beyond simply asking you to reflect your own politics vs this artists? Then ask yourself...why do I give a shit what this man has to say? Calling America a power hungry piece of shit is nothing new, nothing interesting. Peh.

[NickDoes]

The art world can sometimes seem to be so pretentious at times....explanations should not over shadow the work and it seems like people are more into the explanation and not the actual piece. If it pulls something from you it should do so in whatever way it is intended. This may not be a popular opinion but to me, art should speak for itself, and if it's not speaking without added words..then it's not speaking at all.

[robbryn]

Have any of y'all been to MoMA and seen this drawing? It's awesome and human and organic and I think, so important in a magor museum in this impersonal, mass produced time we live in.

[tgv1975]

Yes... yet another mega-silly "artistic" trial. And another list of equally silly comments. "MoMA doesn't makemastakes" (wrong spelling kept)?! Really?!

What is art, actually? Let's not get into it right now... The above "effort" does a great job in demonstrating what art is not, though. Everything that is "different" automatically qualifies as art? Satire at all cost - is it inherent art? Think not. Look at the above "work". Look again. Closely.

The world has sped up tremendously- thus: Graphic Novels,

more cartoons. Kill 'em Dan, it's your 15 min.(plus add whatever)

of fame.

[baNaNaMaN6]

PS - This is lame. David Shrigley. he's the king of this shit, no one's better.

[dougdougdoug456]

All Your Base Are Belong To Us

[artmonroe]

only this: MoMA doesn't makemastakes.

[vermeer1]

Read "The Painted Word" by Tom Wolfe, it is a quick read and it will explain the political motives that lead to this kind of "work".

Personally I do not like modernism or post-modernism, but I understand their arguments.

[baNaNaMaN6]

There is nothing that isn't post-modern. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO ESCAPE! WE'RE TRAPPED BY THE MOST GENERIC TITLES, EVER!

[b0hemianl0ve]

I saw this! =D

[artwarstreetart]

so clischee and on the same level like cheap, fast toilet tags of bored teens in schools... i can´t understand the hype.

[mytubehasbeentaken]

That sucks.

[jabrinka99]

Will Rogers didn't really do much either as doesn't Pat Oliphant..but they emote and provoke with elegant simplification...art after all is in the eye (or colon) of the beholder... Go Dan

[SIXnop]

It's nice to see all the close minded people.

[said1994]

yes he cant draw but the only one thing which is important is the idea and thinking about our live and our world so just stop writing this isnt art

ITS ART BECAUSE ART IS DIFFERENT

[angrydude]

amen

[Ussuratonkachi]

interesting ideas but you could find them on a comic book with political interest...if this can be called art then the sketches on my notebook during lessons as well. The difference here is that I'm not famous so mine are called "wasting time"

[tazcelsimplu]

yep, sure. best of luck to you in the future, Ussuraton.

there are some good reasons this guy became sorta' famous. some of these reasons, u may see them on those walls, at MoMA.

not so easy to get it at the first sight, i know, i know :)

[SharkSport]

"art"?  ... sure Emporer your clothes are fabulous

[mrdog66]

this is crap.

this guy can't draw and his ideas are not helped by his complete lack of ability.

[chronic00dog]

brillaint

[JiveDadson]

What happened to art?

[thatdro420]

jiveDadson...not to be a dick but that fact you said that means you dont know art. art is an expression not a look. its the artists individual taste and style that makes it art not what your pussy ass thinks of it. Dont talk shit about things you cant do.

[mimib1230]

That is what people said to Van Gogh and to hundreds of others that are now extremely famous in their art.

[cyberWizard91]

cyberWizard91: pretty intresting,
