Ohhh I don't know about that...but the National Gallery of both Scotland and Australia have a couple of his hanging...

So, what is it (not being accusatory here) that you actually know and appreciate about those artists and their paintings - beyond their monetary value as collectibles?

Since you proclaimed your opinion about dipso's homage to Jackson Pollack - "should have painted it on BLACK VELVET", I'm wondering if you have a more "in depth" contribution to make to his thread.

I think they are pretty picutures

:D They are indeed. Do you think "art" is about "beauty" and "prettiness"?

I like the art of tabs . . . as he so easily shows Dari the stairs.

I like it. To see if it actually measures up to a Pollock, read the following about fractal geometry and chaos theory.

UNSW Resources (PHYSICS!) - Fractal Expressionism

Who knows? You may have created a masterpiece. Tabs might even buy it.

Pwned again.

This is getting to be a habit of yours.

Maybe she'll let you hang it in the garage.

I think it would be perfect as an oil drip pan for his Porsche...

better a drip pan than a car cover...

hmmmm, hate to say this but you hung it upside down ;)

and I do agree, +1 pwned ... she's probably going to let you keep it up till the in-laws come and then she'll have proof that you're loosing it :D

For lack of a better description a good piece of art has an ELECTRIC quality about it..it has vibrancy or life to it...how is that for being analytical..

I really don't want to delve too deeply into the aspects of art at the moment so I have remained largely flippant

For what it is worth Dippys painting looks to be a decent FAUX Pollock. It probably lacks the depth of a real Pollock though?

Does the picture have a title, every good picture needs a title!

May I suggest "Sick Pelican" :cool:

I just spent about 10 minutes of my life reading this thread. It was fun and entertaining. Maybe I need to go buy some culture.
Naaaah.

this chick i was trying to get with in college had a similar idea. she was some art chick, and some how ended up with this huge canvas..she cut it up and covered a couch with it. at the time, i thought it was super cool.

Not sure this one fits that flippant description of great art (Which by any standards but the laziest this must be considered).

So, does that electricity come from the art or the artist or the viewer - inquiring minds and all....

art or amateur?
 

Ad Reinhardt did similar work. There are versions of Reinhardt's black paintings at MOMA in NY, and another at the Peggy Guggenheim in Venice, Italy. I've seen both in both locations, and in each, the blackness is painted in cubed layers. You have to look at the work from an angle with an angle of light shining on the piece to see the intricacy. The black paint is actually very meticulously applied to the canvas.

It's one of those things where you need to be there.

Isn't that like looking at the below and asking: literature or amateur?

Dipso, in this photo the work looks like a small entryway into something frenetic and uncontrolled. It kind of gives me the creeps/shivers. How about "Doorway to Chaos" as the title?
