What do you consider to be a good painting then?
The Scream is a classic.

Well yes, but it's possible to like that painting (as I do) and The Scream.
Maybe you have to understand what Munch was going through when he painted
it, to appreciate it?
Like the warehouses that were torched a couple of months ago containing art,
amongst others, pieces by Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst... Whether you like
the art, or despise it, it plays a role in art history. So many forms of art
have caused controversy and debate on this same subject, deco, cubism or
abstract, who knows what may later be considered as a progress of "art"...
While some may recognise it now, others may not it and who in all honesty
can claim to be the de facto judge of what is today's and tomorrow's art?
g.
That's witty, but I like the painting too.
I like lots of Fauves and American Primitives.
Also much earlier painters.

I think Damien Hirst is great, but Tracey Emin is abysmal.

Nobody can of course. Because appreciation of any art is a personal
thing.

Hi Bord...
Yes I am aware of the family background and all very tragic. My scorn is not
really directed at the artist but at the so called art world who value a
painting worth no more tha £70 at £40 million. Picasso is another one.
Armed with a few paints and a canvas, I expect almost anybody could
reproduce a fair rendering of The Scream yet few could reproduce the
Canaletto. As for the Scream, I don't deny it's an interesting and haunting
image but a true artist has a remarkable skill which is so evidently lacking
here.
The art world suceeeds at these clever deceptions by pouring scorn on those
who recognise the truth about some so called artists. The real scorn need to
be directed by us at the critics. How often do we see the modern equivelent
in the form a a pile of builders rubble, or some such, at the Tate.
Some years ago, a skilful sceptic forger who could render any
master,appeared on a TV program. Within 30 minutes he painted a Picasso
which could have been slipped into the market quietly to be discovered as it
were, and it would have fetched millions. He joked as he tore it up before
ours eyes, it's all total crap you see.
Seriously, if you like the Scream, go into any local low end gallery typical
of many high streets in our larger towns. Many have a ready source of local
artists, many capable of reproducing fine art at well under £200. Any of
them could produce you a fair rendering of the scream.
chuckle
Nah, silly. But if you did not know, paintings get moved from country to
country to be shown at different exhibitions.
Hold on. They tell us that the Mona Lisa is beautiful.
Would you go to bed with her.........

A painting will be valued at £40 million because that's what people
would be prepared to pay for it if it went on sale. It's not
neccessarily a judgement of artistic merit. The 'worth' of a particular
painting can never be calculated based on the cost of the paint and
canvas alone.

Just because an artist doesn't paint the type of picture you like it
doesn't mean they are technically capable of doing to. Munch didn't
paint pictures like Cannaletto's because he had no interest in doing so.
I certainly think that The Scream is the work of an incredibly skilled
artist.

I share your distaste for some critics and the art establishment. I
think we need the Brian Sewells of this world to prick their pomposity.
That doesn't mean that I share your distaste for all conceptual art;
some of it I like, some I don't. It's not neccesarily meant to be
appreciated in the same way as a painting though.

Picasso was a truly great artist, I'm sorry if he's not to your taste. A
competent artist could probably knock up a reasonable approximation of a
Picasso which might fool a few laymen but that same competent artist
would never, say, invent Cubism if Picasso hadn't had done it first.

And of the Canaletto probably. The fact is though that they can copy The
Scream because Munch painted it first. They would never have done it
from scratch.
Andrew
Well we probably can never agree. I would just suggest that art forms one
category, and this other stuff, abstracts and whatever, should just be
called something else. ( Junk springs to mind - just kidding ) If it's to
your taste fine, how "about decorative effects"
I'm just trying to think of a parallel. What springs to mind is that ear
insulting noise emanating from those Jamacan types: A really lousy form of
Pseudo poetry ( an insult to every poet that has walked the earth ) which
they call cRAP music. Now as we all know this is really cRAP noise, and a
very unpleasant noise it is too. Under the biggest stretch of the
imagination, nobody in their right mind would try and pretend this stuff has
any connection with music.
BTW, the faker I referred to did fool all the experts. Sorry I cannot recall
his name now.
kind regards
Are you are saying that the expression on the person's face is
supposed to reflect what Munch was going through?
If this is the case, Borderline Moron you are sadly incorrect - recent
critics have said that the area where the painting is set was home to
a psychiatric hospital; the look on the person's face is said to be in
response to the screams eminating from the asylum.
Did you know Munch well?

That's the nature of art - it does inspire very different reactions in

I think 'art' is actually a very broad term that encompasses all sorts
of things. There is much agonising in some circles about what does or
does not constitute 'art' and I'm not particularly interested in that -
I prefer to judge individual works on their own merit. I used the term
'conceptual art' deliberately to try and distinguish that which is
decorative, or at least figurative, in form from that which falls less
neatly into the traditional definition of 'art'.

I'm certainly not a fan myself, but some people do appreciate it and I
prefer to leave them to it rather than worry about its merits as music,
poetry or whatever. I have my own idiosyncratic tastes and I don't worry
too much about whether others approve, although it is satisfying to
introduce someone to something I appreciate and find that they also
enjoy it.
> BTW, the faker I referred to did fool all the experts. Sorry I cannot

Fair enough, but I maintain if Picasso had not existed he would not be
able to produce those works off of his own back.
Andrew
They're both abysmal. Or their 'art' is, at any rate. As people they may
be wonderful.
Not in the state she is now... ;-)

And you were doing so well. Shame. Post again when you've got something
to say without resorting to insults.
If Picasso hadn't have existed, who's to say that this guy or some one else
wouldn't have "discovered" cubism eventually?
BTW, I Walked arround the Piccaso Musiam in Barcellona last week, saw some
of early work, brilliant. Then in my humble opinion, he either lost the
plot, discovered mind bending drugs, or ( And this is what I think ) he
realised that the Art Establishment was there, and ready, to be taken the
"Piss" out of!.
He added a few abstract curves, they loved it, You had to be in "the know"
to appreciate it though, ( has the emperor got any clothes on). He then went
as far out as he could, too see who would have the guts to say " We don't
get it". Nobody has yet.
I think if there is an after life, he's there know laughing his socks off,
and smoothing his owl.
Cheers LJ.

Equally, fair enough Andrew, Nice talking with you.
I second that. These people who can never actually manage to debate or argue
effectively, think that by insulting you in some way, makes them look good.
I have at times ( well frequently maybe ) given better than I got but it
simply goes around incircles and get you nowhere. I think behind the usenet

Perhaps as you intimate here, ignore them until they have something useful

Idiot. I said that because you were referring to doctors and scientists
carrying out these experiments as sadistic butchers or something! You
didn't just say you objected to the experiments, you went as far as
saying the people carrying them out were evil bastards only doing it for
their own enjoyment.
Well they are.
People refer to Nazi doctors as barbaric because of the experiments
they performed on the Jews. As you feel that there is nothing wrong
with doctors and scientists experimenting on animals in this way, am I
to take it that you feel the experiments carried out in Nazi Germany
against Jews were perfectly justified or that the people doing them
were not evil???

If you regard animals as equal to people what will you do if you see a
dog kill a cat? Put it on trial for murder?
That's a nice try but it won't wash...you are now twisting what I said
to make it suit your argument. This means you don't have a sensible
answer.

As far as I know you can't put animals on trial due to their language
capacity - I'm not sure that "woof" after being asked "how do you
plead?" would constitute an acceptable answer.
If you have ever met a dog that has spoken to you I'd find it nothing
short of astonishing.
If a dog did kill a cat however, I'm sure that the cat wouldn't have
been caged up to prevent it escaping.

There IS no sensible answer to someone comparing geniune medical
experimentation on animals and the 'experiments' performed on Jews by
Nazis during WWII.

How about a deaf and dumb person? Would they not be able to stand trial
for murder?

Why not? You think animals are equal to people. Surely we must respect
their choice of communication. To do otherwise would be discriminatory.

So you admit animals aren't equal to people then.

How do you describe a surgeon operating on someone to remove a tumour?
Would you call them a butchering sadist who just does it for the sake of
it?
