My mom is selling her art for hundreds of dollars.

I know she's my mom, but I wouldn't pay 20 bucks for it.

I really hate how today's art culture makes people believe that painting bad shit is "art". It's not. It's vapid shit. Just deal with it. Detonating a paint can on a canvas is not art. It's pretentious bullshit.

My mom, sadly enough, has become enamored with this "abstract" propaganda. Ugh. At least she's pocketing $375-$500 for it.

    At least the only money being wasted is from those who like that sort of stuff.

    Ah, Abstract! For some, it's a delusion of talent and very exploitable.

    It's not always abstract. But she's simply not that good of an artist in my opinion.

    You're a jerk, for writing off your mom's hard work like that. Whether she's good or not, she's still making money off of something she made by herself. Good for her.

    Is she actually sells her art, good for her.

    it might not be "good" in your opinion, but it's still art. and it might make money.

    You can make even more money by putting bodily fluids in cans. I know shit is already taken, and vomit and piss are too, but if she can fill some cans with cervical mucus or something, and attach a vapid description of its artistic profundity, then she could make a killing.

    "but if she can fill some cans with cervical mucus or something"

    Given that we're talking about my mom, you don't know how horrifying this was to read.

    Hey man, can't let a little squeamishness get in the way of artistic progress.

    I'm just glad I decided to review film instead of art. Art reviewing is a powderkeg.

    Once film technology advances to the point they can bombard you with smells as well, you'll no longer be safe.

    Good for her.

    Art reviewing is harder than film reviewing. Unless the film you're watching is aesthetically oriented, like Un Chien Andalou and the like.

    I think I had some art history lesson before where it was trying to convince me that someone who used two handle bars and a bicycle seat to make some vaguely bull-shaped head was great and unique. Except I can't see how that's so awesome compared to how I can't stop seeing the front of most cars as faces.

    ...maybe I should sell photos of car fronts.

    ^^^^Oh great... and I review horror films (currently). I hope it never comes to that.

    "Art reviewing is harder than film reviewing."

    No it isn't. All you have to do is vaguely praise on vague terms about it's "revolutionary" style and how it "breaks down the boundaries of modern art" and continue on a bullshit pretentious delusional rant for 60 pages while being as stuck-up as possible. The main goal is to make the reader want to smash your face in with a hammer, unless they are the same awful breed as you, at which point you two can continue on a vague circlejerk about vague things that seem deep to you while looking utterly fucking retarded to the sane normal people outside your masturbatory bubble.

    for 60 pages

    Sounds harder to me.

    It's easy to make up bullshit for 60 pages, just look at Atlas Shrugged.

    Pretentious indeed. I hate it when the same kind of people work in other media. It's painful for the ears.

    Art is immoral and turning children away from god anyway. It's un American and should be banned.
  • The_EdgeThe_Edge

    Oh right. Isn't art a part of the "Gay Agenda"?
  • Tnu1138Tnu1138
    Yes that too it inspires creativity and independent thought. These are the aspects of terrorists.

    C'mon it's painfully obvious he's joking. Artists aren't terrorists, they are pedophiles and junkies
