Art

[DemonSlayer6]

What do you think art does to you? Does it relive you off stress? What kind of art is your style?

 

[SpArAda1127]

any type, as long as it's not ugly or scary, i personally like the illusion of time, made by that guy with the handle bar mustache

 

[Phage]

the illusion of time, made by that guy with the handle bar ? do you mean the Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali [link]?

 

[DemonSlayer6]

Oh, that one. It doesn't exactly look cool, though. This looks kinda real, though, I don't know who made it.

All sorts really. I love Van Goghs 'Night Sky' in particular though

I'm more into music and literature than art though.

Painting sometimes reflects your mood and personality. Sometimes when I'm angry, I just take a whole lot of paint and dump it onto the page. :lol:

I'm one of those uncultured people who don't "get" art. It means nothing to me on any deeper a level other than "ooh, that's pretty" or "what the hell??"

I don't like all the pretentiousness that comes with art - the way people try to work out the deep meanings behind the artist's concepts - to me, if there's a bowl of fruit on a table in the painting, then it's a painting of a bowl of fruit on a table, not the representation of a dark and twisted psyche trying to break through the constraints of an essentially bourgeois society. It's frickin' fruit.

 

[DemonSlayer6]

Yeah, I don't ever get the fruit bowl painting.

I don't like a lot of modern art. Anyone can come up with that stuff. If I took a photo of my room (horrendously messy) I could call it a depiction of where normality meets chaos thus resembling the apocalypse!:lol:

:lol: I guess you could put that on a canvas and call it 'Art'. Well, any painting is art, so many people get so much money by just making some crappy painting. A whole lotta colours together and whalla! You have a good and expensive painting, right?
