Isn’t there some guy that just paints the same dog over and over and over and over again just in different colors, and each one sells for a crap ton? Okay, that’s not art to me.
I can draw a dog in the same pose a million times too… doesn’t mean it should sell for hundreds.I’m also not one for abstract. I hate doing it, and I hate looking at it.

Me too! Like the one in Wildwood! I actually have a sculpture from his gallery in Key West. It’s the only other art I own aside from the Windstones. 😆
I absolutely HATE modern abstract sculptures. The funniest one I can think of was being at an art display where everyone was ooohing and aahing over this big brownish block that had these waves and dips in it. I looked at it, and completely lost it; I had a whopping case of uncontrollable laughter over this thing. It was a 50 lb. SALT BLOCK that had been put out in a pasture, the cows/horses had licked on it a while, and they took it out; shellacked it and slapped a $1500 price tag on it. The thing that made me laugh was the little sold sticker…..LMAO

😯 I wonder if the artist was laughing, too….all the way to the bank. 😆

I hope it doesn’t bore you! I don’t see how a mural is any different from a paint canvas.
I hate wire art. It just looks like junk to me…oh and I don’t like art created out of junk. Bleck.
I also hate it when very simple “pieces of art” are considered great and sold for thousands of dollars. At the Art Center here in Des Moines, there is a canvas with white paint on it….and you can see a few horizontal and vertical paint strokes….it was sold and purchased for 15 thousand dollars! 😯 How in the world they came up with that I’ll never know, but that is NOT art in my opinion!I don’t hate your mural, I don’t hate the art in them. (I love the Noah’s Ark theme) I hate the art form, meaning getting a volunteer crew to paint something on a huge wall. I have seen astounding art in murals. I have a friend who does that for a living and they are splendid. I hate the art form because all I can think about is how much work it would be to do, and how much your arm would hurt afterwards! The art form does not give me joy. Plus, sometimes the artists are way the heck up in the air on some scaffold and I am afraid of heights. I am very visceral about art, and I consider the whole deal, process and all, as part of any piece; it is the background story! The painting by PC’s kids is simply magnificent, your mural is gorgeous, because I can see the joy and love that went into them, and I feel it too.
I love to rant about art.The background story is why Mayah’s things are so magnificent to me, they are only the visible tip of an iceberg of meaning and depth.
The problem I have with modern art is only that it is difficult to fathom without the back story to understand it. Once you know it and see what the artist was thinking, you may realize that something you thought was an accidental splash on a canvas has actually cracked though a barrier that art was caged inside of. The sensation I get from looking at a Jackson Pollock is the feeling of my head cracking open. I like the sensation of wind on my brains.
Ah I see what you mean! 😀 I definitely agree with you there because when I painted this I was 7, 8, and 9 months pregnant, and BOY was it HARD to paint! It was increadibly hard to be on the floor with my big belly! Most of the time I had to lay on my side and paint the ocean floor. I swore up and down that it would be years before I painted another mural on a wall!
Most abstract art annoys the hell out of me. Paint splaters and smears, it just dosen’t move me. I’m usually drawn to the more realisticly protrayed subject, if you catch my drift. I also like surrealism quite a bit.
photo composites/photo manipulations. some people are great at them but i still think it looks fake to me.
for jokes i think it is great…but for art…..it just REALLY does not apeal to me.Melody wrote:I hate murals. I know this is a monstrous thing to hate but I really do. It makes me tired to look at them.
OOPS I guess this should be in the “art discussion” section..

I’ve done a couple murals myself…and will definately agree that they’re exhausting. The pay is not nearly worth the exhaustion. 😆

Here’s another picture to show how big it is!
Purplecat, your mural is so pretty! You can have springtime even in winter!! 😀
Wow, this is a really hard question. Hmm… there’s a lot of art I don’t personally favor, but hate is such a strong word…. I’m going to say Graffiti. Not because I think it is void of any artistic value, but because it’s often painted where it shouldn’t be, and I can’t appreciate it because I’m thinking of the frustrated shop or house owner who’s going to be cleaning that up.
I both love and hate abstract art. I love making my own abstract art (because it is impossible to screw it up) but dislike looking at the abstracts of others because I just don’t get them 90% of the time. And there is also that whole “um, this looks like a smear… and it just sold for a gazillion bucks” thing, too.
And also I hate doing caligraphy myself because ink ruins pretty pink sweaters and pen nibs are evil, but then again I love looking at caligraphy others have done. I guess I just like to be difficult 😛 😆
Indian Art I fracking hate it, I grew up with it, my parents own a few pieces, we had to do it in art class PUKE. I hate it is horrible to look at, and plain.

http://www.ainc-inac.gc.ca/art/art/index_e.htmlWow, really? That kind of artwork is fairly often chock-full of history, like telling a culture’s creation story (that only the initiated may be able to read in the piece.)
I do, however, lose interest when I find out someone sold out their culture by painting it and then selling it to someone who had no frakking clue what it meant and just thought it was pretty. Then it just becomes a cash cow and has very little to do with history.
(can you tell my minor is in Art history?)
