Two abstract paintings

[LONDONER]

I hate criticizing as I love your posts but I always think these kinds of pictures can be done with by a 5 year old at school.. I remember there was a similar picture of a house in similar paint style and it went for a few hundred grand at auction - a news tv station got a class of children to draw the exact same picture and the put them all up on a board and asked experts to pic the expensive one out and they all failed - art is deffo in the eye of the beholder I believe

Don't worry about critisising me [MENTION=19211]Matt[/MENTION]y, I can take it and I don't claim to be infallible.

Some, I agree with you but definitey not all. What about my avatar for instance? Also, it is the original idea that is important, the original act of creation. Asking schoolchildren to make a copy is not creative. I will agree with you that some even well known "painters" who are worth millions, are absolute rubbish. Damien Hirst for instance. He just employs a lot of people to work out his ideas for him. That is definitely not art in my opinion. Another one is Tracy Enim who won the Turner Prize for displaying her unmade bed complete with used condom. I don't care if intellecuals rave about it, to me it is still a dirty, unmade bed.
