ART HATER!!!!

But there's just so much art to hate! Behold, the Museum of Bad Art! (Though, I will admit to enjoying "Sunday on the Pot with George," but only ironically.)

To hate or not to hate, that is the question.
Whether tis nobler in thy mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous art
or to take arms against the sea of troubles, and by opposing, end it.
To die, to sleep; no more
And by sleep shall we say we end the heart ache
and thousand natural shocks of art that flesh is heir to.
Tis a consummation, devoutly to be wished.

oh great - all my pretty typing, destroyed for want of a line break!

Fixed for you.

More to the point: someone donated their own child's art, and that's kind of mean. ("You're artwork is hideous, dear...")

This belligerent clown is awesome. Simultaneously hilarious and terrifying.

Genius.

I swear to god, I don't get how cum these people are "artists", and I'm not.

I can take a piece of metal, paint it with polka dots, name it "Global warming - a sick child" and make billions. really!!!!

Really hoping you meant "come" and not "cum"...

it was intentional.

Besides laziness, I think some of this stuff is done just for the purpose of bunching panties.

I can't believe that article hasn't been deleted yet.

I found a new fallacy! The "Wikipedia Sharpshooter Fallacy": an editor takes a dozen random articles, finds a common thread between them, and makes a new category/"main article" on the subject.

You know something is art because people tell you it is art. All art is marketing.

I subscribe to the "everything not a result of nature is art" definition.

It's all about the frame, maaaaaan.

"...You have to put a "box" around it because otherwise, what is that shit on the wall?"

Further evidence of Frank Zappa's general awesomeness.

my definition of art: if i can make it - it's not art.

Here's my version of "the most important thing about art", this coming from someone who does "do" art, and might even be considered "good" at it in the right light: Do you appreciate it or not? More pressingly: would you buy it for the price advertised? And if so, why?

So my opinion is thus: I don't give a shit if you call it art or not, I'm not paying you thousands of fucking dollars for a toilet with a fucking signature on it. End of.

The problem I have with art, is not so much the art it's self, but the artist. I question statements, artistic or otherwise, of people whose only experience of life, for the most part, is of being an art student and then of being an 'artist'. What qualifies these folk to make any statements on life that is relevant to anyone one in the 'real' world ?

"What qualifies these folk..." Critics endorsements, apparently.

oh yes, like man of the people Brian Sewell

I write about people like you, the average working stiff, the common man...

Because critics are a superior class of people, and totally not failed artists themselves who couldn't paint by numbers. Everyone in the world can think you're a prat, but if a critic loves it, it must be awesome.
