I quite like the paintings on the gallery wall - and the last one looked interesting - but as usual with these little newsclips, you don't get to see enough to really make up your mind. I will be in London in a couple of weeks, so I will go take a look at Tate Britain while I am down there.
A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.

Who needs a meaning anyway, I'd settle anyday for a very fine view.

Yes, yes. But first I need to show you this venomous fish!

I think we should do whatever Pawiz wants.

:pissed: I hate modern art with a passion. In fact, I hate it so much I might become a ruthless dictator and be responsible for the deaths of millions of arbitrary minorities.

I don't know much about art but I know what I like. And that's cheese.

What would you count as 'modern? How far back would you go? The French hated Van Gough and Gauguin...well they were indifferent. Matisse had it tough to begin with. What about Jackson Pollock in the 50s and 60s, or Henry Moor? What about representational painting g done now? That's modern. Do you hate that too? Or is it easier to hate than to try to understand and perhaps appreciate?Animavore wrote::pissed: I hate modern art with a passion.

I try to appreciate but, a sperm whale skull inside a little room that you have to look at through a slit or a pile of ash is not art to me. I will give them credit for being able to con people into thinking its art by using a lot of fancy language but apart from that the crap they have the cheek to peddle out to the public is ridiculous.

I am not sure whether that's by a professional artist or the painting my cousin did of his quilt he showed me.
