One of the things I complain about the most, is the "attitude" within the "art community". I'm sorry, but I guess I'm just a redneck, cause I never understood half the artwork produced in the last 100 years. I don't don't understand all the crap in the art galleries that looks like it was made by schoolkids or psychos! But I'll talk about that shit another time, right now I am commenting on the "attitude" of the "art lovers" and "afficionados" who pay thousands and millions of dollars for art they know nothin about, or try to explain the .art to us "none art type people".
You know what...if there is one thing I am really sure of, its: "if you have to explain it to me, then I am not interested!"
To me "art" is a creation (usually of humans, but nature is pretty good at it too) that doesn't require an explanation. The "art" pleases and invokes some kind of interest or emotion. A painting can do this, but so can a car or a movie or a fine meal or a scenic view. Screw you if you think you have have some godlike talent because you can "create art"!! Art is produced everyday and you are not that special!! ( sorry...I'll rag on egotistical artists another time!)
My Mother took a "China Painting" class. She now produced lovely little little "art" pieces that decorate her home and she gives as gifts. She takes blank "china" plates, bowls, cups, etc and using brushes and paste glazes, she paints flowers, wildlife and images on the pottery to be "fired". It takes patience, and concentration, and artistic talent and control to produce these wonderful little "art" pieces. They may not be DaVincis, and they may not be expensive to produce, but they are worthy of merit based on their quality, effort and look. But according to the "nose up each others asses" art community around here, my Mother was unable to enter some pieces in a local Gallery Contest because it wasn't considered "art". She was told that it wasn't recognized as being real "art".
These assholes wouldn't know real "art" if they had to produce it themselves! Which is exactly the first problem...they are all idiots when it comes to art, they can't draw or paint or sew or design a car...all they can do is pretend to be rich or important and attempt to create a private little community that they can pick and choose their members, and pretend to themselves that they are more important than anyone really cares! They try to tell me and others, what art is real "art" and what we should be liking or buying......fuck you......I will tell you what I like and what I want to look at.
I gotta go paint a rock....and throw it at an "art lover"
