    So Fucking What

    I've been talking shit with an ebay sell about this item...

    Is this really art? The seller wants $750 for this "piece" and he claims I don't know shit about fine art. I don't care what artist this is, anybody who drops $750 on this is fucking mental. Please tell this seller what an asshat he is.

      It's funny what is considered art.

      I could do something like that in 10 minutes

      He has three other auctions for similar paintings



      But if someone on ebay will spend 7500 for an Xbox360 some retard will spend 750 for that crap

              Tell him that if what he's creating is "fine art", he's getting ripped off if he's only bringing in $750 from it. Hell, I see prints go for $100 at Target.

                Modern art is nothing but a con. I remember seeing a painting of a small red square on a large white canvas. Just a simple red square. Maybe about 3 inches by 3 inches. Fucking thing sold for some ridiculous amounnt of money. Well over 20 thousand dollars.

                Back when i was in highschool, we went on this school camp. The art students had to make these paper mache "installations" based on the trees in the area. The one group just drapped paper mache all around the tree, in long strips. The art teacher comes along, and starts praising it.

                "It's so deep. It's like the tree represents humanity, and the paper mache strips are the bars of the prison that is society, and the branches are people trying to break free from society's constraints."

                When the idiot left, i asked the people who did it if that was what they were going for. They said they just thought it looked kind of cool. Hahaha.

                  I got a friend that works in an art gallery down here, he could sell something like that in 5 minutes, he gets 15% of whatever he sells in the gallery he works at and sells garbage art all day, he makes about 40k/month in commissions.

                  People will buy anything and the higher priced it is, the more they want it, so they can show their friends, you dont want some picasso on your wall if you spent 20 bucks on it. You want the stupid dog painting you wasted 750 on.

                        the price of an item is worth what someone would buy it for even if we all think its a piece of shit.

                                Modern art can look really lame, but be really pricy at the same time. My father, a sculptor, one sold what basically were six big poles along a road for something like $250k.



                                The dog "painting" is clearly worth nothing, though.

                                  It's not my style but if someone appreciates his art for whatever reason then that is between the buyer and the seller.

                                  I don't think it is your place to tell him what you think his art is worth. If someone wants to buy it and they appreciate it, then that is their deal.

                                  But I personally would not buy it for any price

                                                                About an hour drive north of Toronto is a guy who owns a 100-yr-old schoolhouse he's converted in to an art studio. Several acres of the surrounding property is covered in 'art' he's created with junk and scraps of everything imaginable. The studio itself is completely covered in bizarre gargoyles and various statues. Some of its actually rather creative.

                                                                He and his wife graciously gave my daughter and I permission to freely wander around the property and take photos one weekend.

Just a simple red square. Maybe about 3 inches by 3 inches. Fucking thing sold for some ridiculous amounnt of money. Well over 20 thousand dollars.

                                                                    Back when i was in highschool, we went on this school camp. The art students had to make these paper mache "installations" based on the trees in the area. The one group just drapped paper mache all around the tree, in long strips. The art teacher comes along, and starts praising it.

                                                                    "It's so deep. It's like the tree represents humanity, and the paper mache strips are the bars of the prison that is society, and the branches are people trying to break free from society's constraints."

                                                                    When the idiot left, i asked the people who did it if that was what they were going for. They said they just thought it looked kind of cool. Hahaha.

                                                                        I don't think it is your place to tell him what you think his art is worth. If someone wants to buy it and they appreciate it, then that is their deal.

                                                                        But I personally would not buy it for any price

The shipping seems reasonable for insured post and adequate packaging for a $75 painting of that size, however, I wouldn?t trust a $35 shipping cost for a $750 painting. Are you going to repost this auction at the right price?"
