Do you like it?

Or do you think it's ugly?

[Delirium]

It's a masterpiece!

just looking at it wrenches my soul. :P

[which doctor]

Does it make you moist?

Or set off a fireworks display of emotion inside your heart?

[Liandri Corporation]

My opinion is that the artist did a good job drawing a red-orange rectangle in a field of blue.

it is something a 5yr old can do, to be honest

People say that about nearly every piece of abstract art.

You're obviously not working class.

Working class people cannot relate to this kind of 'abstract' shit, working class people only understand realistic art, not this kind of abstract bourgeois non-sense,

You know? Like Socialist Realism, that's real art! :hammer:

That&#39;s because every piece of abstract art IS done by a 5yr old child&#33; I&#39;m sorry, huge generalisation and I&#39;m probably insulting a lot of people, but if abstract art is stuff like that unmade bedroom or a thumbprint in bluetac or some shit, its not art. Hell, I think that if Tate Modern were burned to the ground along with all the "artists" who contributed to the works inside it, the average level of artistic talent in the world would actually increase.

Hmm, I suppose that rant means I am working class after all - hurray&#33; :D

[TupacAndChe4Eva]

I don&#39;t like it. I despise modern art anyway, so take from this what you will.

I like art, in its original form , as something that means something, is recognisable, and brings out an emotion in me.

That is just a blueish smear with an orange rectangle in it. It means fuck all to me.

And this is not flaming. :o

:lol:

Not a fan of abstract art
This kinda reminds me of Rothko&#39;s "Homage to Matisse":

Does this mean anything to anyone?

I don&#39;t understand this bullshit.

[Vladislav]

This is fucking garbage. I can eat a packet of peanuts and vomit a better painting. I can&#39;t believe this shit sells for so much money in places around the world. :angry: :wacko:

Sorta reminds me of Malevich&#39;s black square:

Yeah okay people, if you don&#39;t like or &#39;get&#39; &#39;abstract art&#39;, you don&#39;t have to and it really doesn&#39;t matter, that doesn&#39;t make it &#39;shit&#39;, or the work of &#39;five year olds&#39;.

[Tower of Bebel]

Of course. But I would never buy it, and it&#39;s just not my favourite.
My most favourite would be (german) expressionism (in general der blaue Reiter)

[The Grey Blur]

I like it

Abstract art is definitely my thing, but this piece isn&#39;t very interesting. It looks like an inept Hans Hoffmann.

[Forward Union]

Does this mean anything to anyone?

I don&#39;t understand this bullshit.

I assume the intention was to get across a feeling of isolation, or maybe independence. Orange is a warm and cosy colour, blue and white are baron. To me it puts across the same feeling as a painting of a cottage in a snowy field.

I don&#39;t really like it, but I appreciate it.

[Enragé]

i dont like abstract

but hey
to each his own

[The Grey Blur]

I like it because I visualise myself as the red square and the blue represents emotions and...stuff...

I&#39;m not very articulate but I hope that gives people an angle to approach the painting from

to be honest with you all, sometimes I think it&#39;s ugly, but at other times I really like it

[Postteen]

I like very ver much the combination of the colours&#33;However I&#39;d like it more if the blue was green..Now everyone can understand what they want from this painting.

I totally take back the dig about DeviantArt (your politics still suck though :P )

[Tower of Bebel]

The red-orange square must be a unity of leftist against the liberal surroundings ;)

[chitown_brotha]

Fob i&#39;m be fo real one on this,sorry if i&#39;m ruff but i&#39;m gonna tell you how i feel about it this art:to begin with i feel that this type of art is straight up bullshit,for example people paint sum cirquel in a square with sum stripes and add sum yellowish green colour and its finished,they show it at exzibits and then people look at and act like they understand wtf it is..i mean i&#39;m sorry but i really don&#39;t understand this abstract art..i really don&#39;t feel like its sum fake quick way to make money of rich dumb people who buy this and think they are gonna be more cultured and more inteligent if they hang this fucking painting that they spend thousands of dollars on...i mean i&#39;m sorry but i&#39;m not down with this kind of art ...but what eva if you like it,then you like it,that was just my honest opinion..

[Vladislav]

Okay FoB, I take back my harsh shitty comment.
I guess it means something to some people but damn I don&#39;t understand... :huh:

So do I FoB. Well done :).

[Ander]

I don&#39;t really care to tell you the truth.

Most abstract "art" is really ugly and just stupid. But of course you&#39;ll have a massive following of pretentious art snobs who praise it as some kind of masterpiece.

I prefer abstract art that is not painted, stuff with string and wire and wood and whatnot. But even then is it hard to find pieces that don&#39;t look like shit.

[LuXe]

I have actually tried to do something crazy in an art forum once. I simply threw painting on a paper, and worked on it for about 2-3 minutes. I precented it as a piece I had been working on for a couple of months. They actually belived me.

I am not saying that this type of art is bad or anything, however there may be scammers out there who say they put alot of work into this when they dont, and then they sel their "masterpieces" for 1000 bucks +

Abstract art can be good, I have seen alots of it, but thats the paintings that actually have real WORK behind them. I enjoy looking at them wondering what the artist thought of, and trying to make some sense of the chaos.

Modern art - When artists get lazy as all hell

[( R )evolution]

I am taking AP Art History, and I personally find all of this moderinst and absract art to be absolute shit. Some absract art is pretty cool but the majoirty of it looks like shit and makes me want to throw up. I love resianssce art, the realstic interpation of people (usually rich, but it is all good)

All "Art Appreciation" classes are shit. If theres one word of advice I&#39;d like to give to all budding artists, it&#39;s to be wary of supposed art teachers.

In my opinion, DaVinci was a total twat. I find no emotion in realistic/naturalist/renaissance art. It&#39;s so dry.

[Rollo]

I went into a gallery a little while ago for the archibald prize, the first piece that caught my attention was a two canves set. One canvas was pink the other blue, I was told it was good because nobody had thought of it and it was creative. I get more creative when I paint my room or spraypaint some graffiti.

[RebelDog]

I think all this abstract art is so abstract its not art, its shit. The critics all talk as if they know what they are talking about but they don&#39;t even know because there is nothing to know. People don&#39;t understand it because there is nothing to understand. If people want to paint what comes from within, paint some vomit.

[Dooga Aetrus Blackrazor]

What would be hillarious to do is make a totally absurd painting, place it in a mall with the caption "what does this mean?", and video record people&#39;s conversations. That would be cool.

[Rollo]

Yeah, you could have like a picture of a purple anus with blood squirting out and people would say it had something to do with pain.

A load of pretentious twats would interpret it as something, trust me. I can hear the bullshit they would be spouting now.

"This symbolises his pain and suffering".

Oh, fuck off.

Roccoco must be so bad for you, it has worst kind of scenery and expressions :mellow: .
FoB, do you regulary paint/make abstract art, or was it a try?

[Messiah]

I&#39;m a big fan of modern art, so I like this. Though it&#39;s pretty cliche of modern art to be honest, but considering I&#39;m sitting right next to a similair piece I did I&#39;ll hush. ;)

[Comeback Kid]

Surrealism is sweet.
Pop art is shite.
Abstract is okay.

[Dyst]

I like it, as in I like to look at it.

The colours blue and orange go well together.

Good art is IMO nothing more than what makes you comfortable watching, and possibly makes you draw connections from the painting to your own life.

[Soupspoon]

FoB, you&#39;re never going to get people to agree about which type of art is most appealing, whether impressionism is better than cubism or what art means because it means plenty to some and bugger all to others. Personally I love your picture and frankly it wouldn&#39;t worry me if I discovered it had been painted by a horse.

The beauty of art is that it doesn&#39;t have to mean anything except to the artist - the joy of art is that it does.

I spent last weekend with my daughter at Tate Liverpool, gazing at Rothko, Picasso, Warhol, Lichtenstein, Caulfield, Perry, the Chapmans and so on, then down to Crosby Beach to take a look at the Anthony Gormley installation, Another Place. Utterly, utterly beautiful. :)


All "Art Appreciation" classes are shit.
I certainly agree with that&#33; Art appreciation comes from inside, not outside.


Working class people cannot relate to this kind of &#39;abstract&#39; shit, working class people only understand realistic art, not this kind of abstract bourgeois non-sense
