Art but not Garfunkle

Last weekend I went to the national gallery in D.C. and got to see a The Last Supper by Dali in person. So far that's the best painting I've ever seen. Dali combined techniques that all the impressionists before him used with amazing skill at painting realism in portraits in still lives to paint everything he saw in his vivid imagination.

So who are your favorite artists?

    William Kentridge does amazing animations

    the best art exhibit i have ever been to was when his animations, all done frame by frame in charcoal, were shown at the smithsonian

    Monet is always classy. When I lived near philly, i would go to the philadelphia museum of art about once a month to check out the stuff he had there. Never got old. Also, running up the Rocky steps, knocking voer little kids that get in my way.

    some guy spends a whole lot of time making one crappy picture and gets credit for it but we should be telling them to draw another 21 frames if they want to entertain us for even 1 second

    portraits are the worst
    people all 'wow it is so realistic he is so talented'

    yea great just ignore all the work that went into designing cameras
    im sure the camera engineers love it when people pretend like there is no use for a device that lets anyone make a picture instantly
    they are all standing around saying 'yea it is much better to have one guy spend weeks on one picture that is the best way to do things we should not have bothered making a camera'

    basically some fools will go and look at some portrait for a while pondering how well it captured the subject but with the right tools you could go put up a big photo of these people right there while they are still looking at the painting

    and then say 'shit this only took like 12 seconds total but i think i captured your art fagginess pretty well dont you think'

    OT:

    Monet has been a favorite of mine ever since I was little. His use of color was very impressive. Jules Cheret is another French favorite. Not a 'fine artist', but still remarkably talented.

    man, I really want to find that "ceci n'est pas une velociraptor" image.

    also: I had that Magritte painting as my avatar for a while like 3 years ago and my title was "this is not a haspipe"
    people still didn't get my name

    When I was in Melbourne a couple weeks ago, I saw a space invader tile and I was so very excited by it.

    very few people understood my excitement.

    marcel duchamp did that as a big 'fuck you' to a really restrictive art exhibit that was taking submissions

    it got rejected, but it was a huuge 'fuck you'

    the fuck you so big it started an art movement
