Was ochre just an avant garde expression on the fallacy of charcoal and its archaic roots?

Gatsby

Maybe.

So @Antimatter showed me this old, interesting article.



Just the thought of so many of these amazing works being produced by nothing but rock rolling punks and their bonehead chums is endearing. That theory alone then led me to find this gem



And now I'm thinking of famous artists as their prehistoric counterparts.

Gatsby

Banksy of tribe paint wall make good art. Bison means wealth. Man means greed.

Antimatter

love this love you

Gatsby

Warhol of Tribe Make Things Lots of Times do commentary. This is deer. This is also deer. That is the same deer. More deer there. Sick of deer? Me as well.

Personface

Dali of Tribe Spanish make melt my perception of logical cohesion through shiny clock liquid

Butler For Life #1

Magritte of tribe Apple on Head draw deer. It is not a deer.

Pharezon

You're all terrible.

Gatsby

Picasso of Tribe Funny Shapes liked shapes. This is shapes. Why you say spear is not sky colour?

HellaJeff

I like this idea,

also I just watched Midnight in Paris. That's a good movie about artistry

Pharezon

So is this the street art thread? Everyone is familiar with Posterchild, yes?

HyperBallad

Yes! Art thread!

Personface

Andross' enemy is my enemy

Gatsby

De Chirico from Tribe Tower. This is tower. That is shadow. Also man who is not man. Very big plains.

miscellaneousinsanity

I was on a big De Chirico kick by the end of the semester. One of the first things I'm gonna do when I get back to school is go to the library and check out that hugeass book with essays about him.

Today I finally experienced how artists come up with metaphors like, waterfall representing a beautiful woman. Before I understood, but from an outside perspective but it is a pretty rad feeling

Antimatter

Is this relevant to this thread? Bottega del Vino had beautiful red christmas lights on the trees outside - very stark contrast to the darkened street / bright white christmas lights of Fendi and other nearby locales

This picture doesn't do it justice but in real life it was gorgeous

so speaking of primitive man and all that, I got into a talk a while back with callius when I asked him about the origins of clothing

I mean, it is one of those very uniquely human traits, clothing. Not just body decoration, but carefully shaping other animal skins to adorn and protect our own hides, or creating woven materials.

Even the most primitive wall art depicts humans wearing clothes

We've found incredibly ancient needles made of bone

At what point in human evolution did we start doing that? What was the process?

Eddy

By comparison, Fendi and a Bergdorf Goodman display:

It's not street art but it kinda is...

Tommy2Hands

the process was

hey dude could you cover up your dick it's sorta freaking me out

Tonkka

Art is dead.

Eddy

I look at this:

And I say, nay, art is evolving

Mr Fuzzbutt

Some dude just got fed up with his dick flopping around when he tried to run, so he made undies to hold it in place.

The undies got bigger and bigger so it looked like the dude had a bigger donger, and eventually they became full-body undies, also known as "clothes".

It also happened with women, except with boobs and bras.

Rankenphile

oh fuck it

who has saints row 3

Eddy

Man, I can't even imagine running naked

all those bits flopping around everywhere

how did Christian Bale do it with a chainsaw running mere feet from his dong

Shorty

...there's a whole thread for that, rank

HellaJeff

It must have been awesome to be like, dudes, my dong is warm even at night time!

The most important invention man has known

Rankenphile

but I'm not in that thread

I'm in this one

I think you might be wrong.
