He entitled it "Piss Christ" and told you that's it's a picture of a crucifix floating in his own urine. <br /><br />The only stimulating thing about the piece is the reaction the cue card tells you to have. It could have been a crucifix floating in ginger ale or canola oil and photographed in similar light and got the same reaction as the cue card tells you to have in reacting to the admission that it is a photograph of urine. That's because the reaction sought from the photograph doesn't come from the photograph at all.<br /><br />That's not art.

It was the closest his lack of skill with paint was ever going to come to something as meticulous as the temporary constructs of ritual sandpainting. It spiritually evoked in Pollack whatever joy slinging paint on a canvas brought out in him, and I don't doubt his sincerity in feeling that his done so is the coolest thing evah. But we're left with the paint splattered canvas and the choice to join Pollack in his delusions of meaningfulness or wondering why they're framing drop cloths next to actual art.<br /><br />The question between art and artist becomes, who's the narcissist, and who has self-esteem?<br /><br />No one is both.(((Thought Criminal)))https://www.blogger.com/profile/17311656184275255223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-59742941132315043172010-11-13T14:20:40.515-08:002010-11-13T14:20:40.515-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.(((Thought Criminal)))https://www.blogger.com/profile/17311656184275255223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-82547113607775165502010-11-13T11:27:17.258-08:002010-11-13T11:27:17.258-08:00Elbro, very fascinating that you bring up narcissi...Elbro, very fascinating that you bring up narcissism in artists... my mind went to the good artists I have as friends and acquaintances and I realized somehow that those who paint realism, photo-realism, impressionistic images, etc., are extremely humble and eager to please the viewer with his or her art.....<br />The ones I know who do art like that you linked to, or more cutting edge, geometric, 'nihilistic' art are not.....they're edgy and, I've never really put this in words, but they seem almost embarrassed as if to say "I know this isn't really ART but I put this stuff together and I'm pretty sure you edgy cool people at this gallery are going to go for it" <br />Odd, but true...I really have felt that. <br />I do like some of it, I stick by that...but, my representational artist friends have turned me a little around on that..Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989573357446569262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-15962303571619909062010-11-13T11:26:38.607-08:002010-11-13T11:26:38.607-08:00"We are in the process of making the world, t..."We are in the process of making the world, to a certain extent, in our own image."<br /><br />Barnett Newman<br /><br />Original sin anyone?elmers brotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03382038085149828957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-67102360386879424322010-11-13T11:26:09.849-08:002010-11-13T11:26:09.849-08:00But this will happen when we allow the wealth tran...<i>But this will happen when we allow the wealth transfer to get out of hand.
