Intelligent, cute little girl, having fun and messing about with paint - but 'great art' ? - you are kidding yourself if you are fooled by this!

such nonsense, its just a kid throwing paint everywhere as kids do.
you fell for the calming music and the innocence of her looking like she is alone in quiet contemplation.
inb4 hoards of pretentious 'art lovers' when she paints something that looks like something intentional get back to me.

her work looks like something intentional. what is the difference? she intends to be free on canvas. could u be fooled by figuration technicians? just because someone makes something that looks like something doesn't make them impressive.

guess i gotta do this again.... lol....

Things Republicans Hate. No. 25 Abstract Art

Republicans have a very limited knowledge of modern art. They are aware of a few major works including “That one with the screaming guy”, “The one with the old people holding pitchforks” and “Soup cans”. Republicans usually enjoy paintings of landscapes (Thomas Kinkade) and some sculptures (The Washington Monument, The Lincoln Memorial, The Statue of Liberty). Conservatives are not capable of appreciating Abstract Art. The works of Jackson Pollock and Piet Mondrian will draw the remarks “I could do that. They should pay me a million dollars!” or “My kid could do that, she’s four.” almost 97% of the time. People on the right are fond of people telling them exactly what to think, feel and see (a need that abstract artists do not fulfill). Occasionally, a Republican will enter an art museum (usually as a field trip chaperon). These experiences are usually uncomfortable and confusing for Conservatives. This is caused by the overwhelming liberal population at exhibits and the inability to afford anything in the gift shop. Creators of these “masterpieces” are usually drug-addicts, homosexuals, Europeans and Satanists. Their ‘abilities’ are fueled by hatred for America, Jesus and their fathers. National funding for the arts is primarily through people who do not celebrate Christmas.



and this to while im at it...

" Our reactions to abstraction and or representation also affect how we interpret any work of art. Many people accept Sheeler's artwork even when the abstraction is more pronounced, because the subject is still recongnizable. However, other people react adversely to simple, non objective shapes like those in Albers's paintings. Unfortunately, viewers who value representational artwork because they can easily interpret the subject matter often fail to see the intellectual metaphor and visual effects of the shape relationships; they don't appreciate how form itself may be the subject matter."

Ooooo, I like that!!!! I really, really like it! But I'm not an art critic, so my option is not valid in a thread full of them.

As for the little girl. If she enjoys what she is doing, who cares. It was her parents that decided to turn her into a marketing circus. If no harm is coming to her & people are willing to spend money on her work, I can't see the damage.

Come on now abstract art just says "I have zero talent" and the admiration of abstract art says "I'm an idiot becuase I think this crap is a soulful expression of human emotion or earthly beauty" I call it talentless crap

As an artist, I'm mildly offended by what you wrote but experienced enough by occasional similar reactions that it rolls off me like rain off a duck's back.

Interested in what YOU think is good art though. Examples?
