It must be in the eyes of the beholder. Because that painting reminds me of when I choose the wrong colors for a windows desktop, it hurts my eyes.Floridatexan wrote:Bob wrote:
Ican't explain why anyone would pay $75 million for anything, but I can say that Rothko was a genius. There is a meditative quality to his paintings that can't be defined at first glance. To me, all true art goes beyond the superficial...bypasses the conscious...appeals to the inner being.

If that painting is worth $75 million, then there's about $50 billion worth of paintings in the wastebasket of every elementary school classroom.hallmarkgrad wrote:Yellar Must be worth a Jillion dollars if that bit of scrabble is worth 75 mil.
It will sell for that because it was worth $65 million last month and will be worth $85 million next month.Floridatexan wrote:

Now that's actual art. But drip some paint on the titties and we'll call Sothebys.Yella wrote:

... and I know what you're thinking, what art is he referring to? Well it's there allright it's just hard to see. It's four white squares all one after the other (one square more than Rothko even). And the artist (me) says the meaning to be found in it is that not everything which pretends to be art is always actually art.
