Damian hirst is not an artist!

[partis]

At last the real shark is exposed as prices for Damian hirsts "work" plummet and 1 in 3 pieces are being removed unsold, pity the credulous saps who spent fortunes on his tosh!

While work from artists such as picasso & matisse continue to rise

Those who dont know, this man is most well known for drawing dots and making a diamond encrusted skull



The patronising art establishment and its self-satisfied hangers-on have been shown up for what they are… naked emperors who deserve nothing more than our derision

This is garbage for morons who want to believe they have talent, but dont even have enough talent in their wholes bodies to wipe their own asses.

I think it was in the 1980's, some guy bought a "painting" from some artist I had never heard of, and paid about $90,000 for it.

All this "artist" did was take a 6 foot by 6 foot canvas, and with a ball point pen, he made circular swirls. THAT WAS IT!!!!

These HACKS make money from the ignorant. Those brain dead imbeciles who are so shallow, they want everybody to think they have such "good taste" in "art", that they will buy any garbage, from any dipshit.



You are an artist when something you have created is hung in a reputable museum.
Thats how I define a real artist.

Art is anything made by man to transmit a feeling or an idea, so i guess we all can be artists but the difference between good and bad art is the criteria used to study it Personally i like the doodles in my notebooks and the short stories i write to amuse myself

[partis]

well said mistertinkles and these so called artist work will end up in a trash heap not a museum. These type of "artists" will tell you EVERYTHING is art, maybe it is but that doesnt mean its GOOD art or worth a damn thing, about as much as a discarded trash can!

Eh..art is subjective.

I thought the same thing of Andy Warhol for years and a couple years back I started having a bit of appreciation for his "pop art"...it started to make me think about commercialism....and maybe that is the beauty of some art...

i didnt see your post festino, i wasnt replying to you in last post. See i agree but i wouldnt pay 50k for your doodle, though if you gave it to me, then i would call it art

I agree with your sentiments but where did you read that the prices have plummeted and unsold pieces are being removed?

[Festino]

Modern art is way to commercial, away are the days when art meant something wether it was love, loyalty, glory or class struggle. It does transmit a feeling "i need to have in order to be" I dont buy art unless it comes from local artists, made by people who capture a piece of reallity i experience myself

[partis]

Londoner there is much written about this, you can see by a simple google check

The most meaningful art is something that means something to me personally.

I get that abstract art is super cool; all art is art.

But I am as confused as you Partis when I see what look like paint splatters being sold for big money. I can --- I have --- made such art myself. It might be original but it just doesn't feel as important to me.

But oh well, everyone has their tastes, and sometimes people with lots of money have silly ones...
