Do you think abstract art should be considered art?

[wilson]

Dunno. Rothko can fuck off though.

Is that anti-Semitic?

Racist. Ban imo

Have you seen a Rothko piece in the flesh?

Its for the mega rich to go 'look what I can spend my money on, if you was mega rich maybe you would appreciate the brilliance too'.

Nobody saves up their wages for abstract art lol.

Outsider art is where its at.

Is that the art equivalent to 'have you heard this tune on a system?'

I guess so.

if it's actually art then yes...if not...no.

So there is abstract art that is not art?

no...if it's abstract ART, then it's art. if not, it's just abstract something. i guess everyone decides for themselves what is art and what isn't.

I might become art.

do it bro!

At what point does a picture become worth so much.

When somebody wants it that much I guess.

I love art, but I only have two settings:

> "Yeah, that's cool"
> "Nah, that's shit"

But I do know what's cool and what's shit.

Seems kinda silly to ask on dubstepforum whether abstract art is art. I would class dubstep, which is mainly instrumental and often focused on interesting sound design, as a kind of abstract art and you could argue almost all instrumental music is abstract in some way.

I love alot of abstract paintings and dont like alot of them aswell.

Its kind of like asking is electronic music really music

the more imagination a work evokes
the more artful it is
much photography & figurative painting is not art but depiction
while well-concieved and executed abstract art is profoundly artistic

[topmo3]

some of the most "abstract" pieces of art were ahead of their time, representing impressionism and expressionism where you simplify forms and minimalize til you just come up with a square or something. i mean u can't just paint it again and expect people to love it, it's a one off thing

also the "aura" of paintings, you cant appreciate a painting to the fullest till you actually see it

[nousd]

congrats for expressing that second point so well
(nice to discuss art without obfuscatory terminology)

Of course, I just find it a ridiculous facet of humanity.

Take Mondrian for example - started off doing 'normal' paintings with, imo, artistic skill. Finished up doing lines and blocks of colour.
And which ones sell for the most, can you guess?

I suppose it's just a matter of context, you know, as far as the evolution of 20th century art is concerned. I just don't get it.

Give me a Turner, Constable or Botticelli any day!

[syrup]

fuck that, it's bunch of shit thrown on a canvas

Get what you're saying, but could play devil's advocate and say that landscapes, etc. are just paintings of shit that anyone can see. Mondrian had to imagine those lines and squares into being from nowhere. (mondrian is shit though, i do h8 him)

Guess it's like, when people criticise art and say stuff like "that's easy, I could do that, etc." it's like, yeah, but you didn't and they did, so there.

I recreated the unmade bed the other day
