How can you not be an art fan? Do you like only excel spreadsheets?
I suspect that they mean specifically paintings, rather than all art.
Still quite a bit weird, but not as bizarre as your interpretation would suggest 🤷🏻
I’m not a visual art fan. When I read manga I pay way more attention to the text than the art. Visual art is innocuous to me, it’s just there. Like, if you knew someone in college who had a bunch of movie posters in their room, after you’ve been in their room a few times you don’t even notice any more? It’s like that from the start with all static visual art (paintings/statues/pictures etc) for me.
Maybe I’m just drunk and missing something, but… Why is this in Funny?
Is it just that whoever wrote the text at the top is a little bit cringe? Is it that the art itself is, I dunno, derivative? Is it something to do with the actual stop sign? I’m lost…
I never “got” dance, ballet, neoclassical, modern–that sort of dance. I’d watch a video once in a while, and while impressive athletically, I never connected with it emotionally. Until I saw this. I don’t know what’s different. But, now I get it, at least some of it.
NOW THATS WHAT I CALL ART
Wow, that’s a new idea! Wish I’d thought of it!
(Yes, that’s sarcasm, and juvenile crap like this is why I think most art is garbage).
A well-made axe is art. A beautifully designed house is art. A surgeon replacing your wife’s liver is art. An wide reciever stretching past the line, his fingertips trapping the ball while dragging a foot inbounds for a win in overtime - still art.
It’s all art, my friend. We take a skill and get better. We get so good that people stop and look. I used to be a painter. The blue collar, white ceilings with a roller kind of painter. I was not an artist. My boss, he could cut a freehand line so straight and level you’d think he’d used tape on the wall. Nope, just good at his job. An artist.
But spray paint on a rock wall?! That’s fucking DIFFICULT. Extreme challenge. My boss couldn’t paint that on his very best day. There would be overrun, splatter. The wispy little hair on Yoda’s head would look like Charlie Brown or Homer Simpson.
…
Ok, I think they’re all gone now. Just between you and I, this is absolute garbage, 100% agree with you - but probably for different reasons.
Yoda is a soldier. He’s not just a grunt, either. He symbolizes conflict and war. He is the hero of a movie franchise called Star Wars. It’s literally a blockbuster movie about war. Glorifying war. So I feel that the artist made a horrible artistic choice in using Star Wars as a play on Stop Wars.
The concepts bump, making it an uncomfortable moment. Like a child who proudly presents you a picture of a violent scene drawn messily in crayon. You want to match their energy, but you’re lk wondering if the little idiot is just messing with you.
Pow that opinion goes right in the bin.
This one is worse. Are we shaming people for giving honest feedback? is that how we foster discussion? Is it not enough that he got negative feedback? Must you grind your heel in his face because his taste in art is not the same as yours?
