[BOOSHBOYDOM]

I absolutely love her. People complain about her not being a proper artist but I think if she can reach this level of publicity and fame then mess up a bed, sew names of her sexual partners onto a tent and scribble sexual drawings probably drawn when she was hammered and sell them for an awful lot of money then THAT is art.

She gave me courage to speak, Lover her:)

Art no longer resides in the market driven inventions like Tracy Emin.Animation,for instance,is continuously developing new levels of genius - they are the people we should be celebrating.

OUCH MY EYES

@sleepcity My feelings aren't hurt, I have far more important issues in my life and too much to do that I don't have the energy to let some anonymous youtuber's opinion "hurt" my feelings. I was merely replying to your comment, which was just as (if not more so) angry and aggressive. Oh and the spelling mistake was a typo, things are bad when you're having to pick up on the ONLY spelling or grammar mistake someone has made to try and get a dig in.

@sleepcity My feelings aren't hurt, I honestly don't care enough to be hurt by some anonymous youtubers opinion hurt me. You were the one getting angry over something YOU had misunderstood so don't have a go at me. Oh and the spelling mistake, the only one, was a typo so I apologise if you were deeply offended by it.

[sleepcity]

@SuperBananafication1 Oh, so sorry you're feelings were hurt that I didn't trace three years worth of back and forth on here. God forbid you have to CLARIFY yourself to someone. And was the ad hominem attack at the end of your comment really necessary? Isn't that a sure sign you've lost the argument or at least that you don't think your point can stand up on its own? Also, if you don't know how to spell the word "argument" I don't think you should be questioning the intelligence of others.

@sleepcity What I meant was Francis Bacon is also part of the Tate collection. So when 1cylynt1 said that the Tate only ever have "old irrelevant twaddle" were they going to include Bacon in that? So if you'd taken a minute to look into what I was actually replying to, rather than just sprouting off shite, you'd come across far more intelligent and worthy of an arguement.

@Pudovkingruppen "Self expressive art"? What the hell is that? Can you give us a precise definition please? How about "fraudulent, emotionally facile, sensationalist, self-indulgent crap?" Is that a better way of characterizing my anger toward the fact that this undeserving publicity whore is a multimillionaire darling of the art world?

[sleepcity]

@SuperBananafication1 No, Bacon knew how to fucking paint. Unlike Hirst, Emin, and a million other Tate darlings nobody will ever remember. But guess whose work will still be around? Francis Bacon's.
