Art

Yes beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so since you dont know how everyone interprets different objects or subjects then everything is art, maybe not to everyone but.... O! I cant explain it I talk with my hands too much to have a debate about such a complex thing as interpretating art online lol  but anyways i agree with you to a certain point

Good quote Finrod

And thats called modern art Geoffery, I dont care for it but somebody does

That's what I meant, that kind of art is not for me, but someone out there likes it. And that's just fine.

It's just crossed my mind that Monet had a cataract operation late on in his life. When he'd recovered, he looked at his recent paintings - and re-painted them in the way that he thought they should look.

He was still looking at the world through the limitation of his eyes, though... 

Well an artist is his own hardest critic

Kinda reminds me of Picaso.

Oh how i love art… art of every kind that is! i truly love every single art form there is. Dali is my favorite abstract artist. love his moustache

I don't agree much with the description given above…. art did not start with the Renaissance…. would you deny that, for example, ancient Greek statues are art???

Yeah, that's exactly the point, Swissbob!!

;)

everytime i see a painting, i stop and take a look and analyze what i have seen in….i love it especially those classic ones way back 14th century. Leonardo da Vinci, Michealangelo, Frida Kahlo ( although her works are  kinda disturbing) etc.

Have to love Leonardo and Michelangelo! ;)

p.s. Frida Kahlo is also very good!

Mmhhh... interesting quote....

Are we among the elect?

i like that van gogh painting whatsitcalled… oh yah "starry night" or whatever…

All art is quite useless.

(Oscar Wilde again) 

Yep, Oscar is right… and it's this being useless that makes art divine….;)

Frida is ok :/ its better if you know here history behind the art, but then again all art is like that if your know the story behind the icture. The emotion that the artist was thinking and feeling when they were painting

I'm not sure I understand Oscar's meaning when he said all art is useless. I find many uses for art.

But it is useless. Art in a conventional sense is merely for display purposes, it's sole aim is to be hung on a wall and look pretty, but I think we've gone through some incredible movements and turning points that that reasoning is perhaps now a little outdated.

Art is useless if you compare it to food, clothes, water, air or whatever is essential for living.....

The thing is, we could survive without a Leonardo painting or without the Beatles songs, but life would be much much worse without these things.....

But.. but.. I can't survive without art! Maybe I'm just being difficult.

Yeah I know what you mean… but that was to explain Oscar Wilde's quote ;)

He was a very peculiar person. I remember reading about him. Ah well.

I truly like him. Witty guy. ;)

Oh very… WWaaayyyy ahead of his time. After watching a movie called Velvet Goldmine, I took interest.

I loved Velvet Goldmine. ;) Now that you reminded me, I think I'm going to vote for that movie!!

;)

Yeah, it's one of my favorite movies. I watched it last night actually. I thought Christian Bale truly showed how versatile he is with this movie. Anyway, you should, :P.

Just did it, hehe…. yes Christian Bale was great, but also Ewan and Jonathan…. not bad…;)

Yeah, it's always fun to try and see what references movies are making to reality. Like Brian Slade's character is Davis Bowie, Curt Wilde is Iggy Pop, and I'm sure there are more. I'm just entirely sure what they are. Anyways, yay for symbolism.

Yeah… although certainly David Bowie did not turn out to be like Tommy Stone, or whatever Brian Slade is called in the movie when he comes back in the 80s….

Yeah, that guy's hair scared me.

Haha, true! It's very 80s style.

hmmm what to say about art?

no art, no nothing

no air?! ick

loveee art… i think its beau n a good way to express urself… ;]

be the art…......smell the art…..date the art…......think like the art…....enjoy the art…..when you have done all this you have created art itself…........lol….

Who could argue with that?

Smell the art? (Actually, I do like the smell of acrylic paints.)

isnt cooking a form of art?

With me it is! And not a single acrylic in sight.

i love the smell of rubber cement glue, is that weird or what?

Like they say: " Creativity is the key."

What would be life without art? boring, i guess! 

art is what makes my life worth living!

Well, I like art, but I absolutely hated Art Class back in school! God, soooo boring!

Art is everywhere, we just dont notice it!

art is everything!!!!

art is everything!!!!
