Things You Hate / Annoyances

[Rock Monster]

I don't care what you think. This isn't art. Jackson Pollock is not an artist. I can do this. A 10 year old can do this.

Do you know what Pollock's inspiration was for that painting? What type of feelings he was trying to evoke? Art isn't just about what it looks like.

A ten year old can scribble, but every one of those lines was put there for a reason (even if it was on an unconscious level, as a lot of Pollock's pieces were), that's what makes it art.

He didn't just sit down and scribble, like a 10-year-old would. He had a vision, a feeling, that he wanted to put onto canvas.

And while I know this painting is called "Number 18", I couldn't begin to tell you what his motivation for it was.

Trust me... I've heard this argument before. My girlfriend is an artist (a good one, not that abstract bullshit) That's a bunch of crap. Just because he wanted to make you 'feel' a certain way doesn't make it art. If I crap on a canvas, and say that I wanted it to make you feel sick, is that art? If I threw a bunch of colors on a canvas, and asked you, "How does that make you feel?" suddenly that's art? Bullshit.
