It's not to my taste either, Pat.

Thank goodness I`m not alone. LOL! I always think "All that work, and for
WHAT?" The paperclip thing is something you get moaned at for doing when
you`re having a spell of boredom in the office! I admire their tenacity,
though - I`m pretty tenacious myself, when it comes to nit-picky precise
work.

Mind you, I could never stand Picasso, either - yet I like a lot of Henry
Moore and Barbara Hepworth. (I think I mean Barbara Hepworth - I`m bad at
remembering names! On the whole, though, I much prefer beautifully painted
representations that you can RECOGNISE!

Obviously you are all entitled to your opinion, what work have you
done? Maybe you could put it on the web!

Personally I think the work of Julieanne Long Textile artist is
brilliant, everything she has created is completely unique, I am sure
I am not alone in thinking her work is brilliant.

When you put forth an artist's work to be commented on, it's not necessary
to demand a CV from the viewers. Otherwise the Tate would be pretty damn
empty.

Maybe not alone, but you'll find a few folk, myself included that don't. I
don't care for 'art' that is simply for 'art's sake' as they like to say. I
agree with Pat that the paperclips are silly. If that's art, I'll be
posting a few works by my son.

As you say, we`re all entitled to our opinion, and allowed to express it -
it`s not as if we`re expressing it to her face any more than if we could
tell Picasso (even if he wasn`t dead) that we liked or disliked him. I`m
sure you`re not alone in thinking she`s brilliant - it`s just that some
can`t see it. Some like Stephen King - others don`t. So what? No need to
get your knickers in a knot, surely!

How gracious of you!

And your point is?????

Do you seriously expect everyone in the world to have the same taste as
yourself? What a boring place it would be if there were only one point of
view.

Interesting! They're both so abstract and modern.
As Mirjam mentioned in regard to herself, my tastes have changed a lot
recently. Whereas before I used to like very finely detailed paintings, now
I find myself leaning towards pieces with broad and bold colouring - like
Georgia O Keeffe.

I find it fascinating the way different things "call" to different people.
In my area there are many West Coast Native Artists with enthusiastic
followers. While I can appreciate the workmanship of the carvings and
paintings they don't resonate with me at all.
Each to his/her own.

I love the bright, vibrant artistry of the Ndebele women - the ones who
decorate their houses with such dramatic effect - including all sorts of
things of the modern world with more traditional ideas in their painting. It
doesn`t mean that I`d like to paint my own house like that though!
