Dude wtf are you talking about?

I saw this one in Fredricton, New Brunswick... It's like 13.5' tall and 10' wide and made one hell of an impression on me. Seeing it this size does it absolutely no justice. It takes like an hour to find all the little details in this painting... possibly years.

Escher isn't an artist. More like an Illustrator.
Basically, It's the same reason that Dali and Norman Rockwell aren't artists. They may technically be proficient and clever with their ideas, but there is no real emotion or truth behind their paintings.

The Surrealists had but one law: the purpose of surrealism was to create outrage and shock in the minds of the bourgeousie. No atrocity, not enven child rape could get you kicked out of the group. The only thing that could get you kicked out was to back down and apologize, to lose face.

In the late thirties, Dali and Gala, who had fled to America went to Peggy Guggenheim's costume party in New York. They went with Dali dressed as Bruno Hauptman and Gala dressed as the Lindbergh baby complete with bloody noose around her neck. A great scandal ensued, so great they were threatened with deportation back to Europe, where Dali would have been in danger as a decadent artist.

They backed down. The apologized. They were kicked out of the Surrealists. After that Dali, under the direction of Gala quickly turned to the pursuit of big American collector's cheques in the Peggy Guggenheim circle.

Built between 1475 and 1483, in the time of Pope Sixtus IV della Rovere, the Sistine Chapel has originally served as Palatine Chapel. The chapel is rectangular in shape and measures 40.93 meters long by 13.41 meters wide, i.e. the exact dimensions of the Temple of Solomon, as given in the Old Testament. It is 20.70 meters high and is roofed by a flattened barrel vault, with little side vaults over the centered windows.
The architectural plans were made by Baccio Pontelli and the construction work was supervised by Giovannino de' Dolci. The first Mass in the Sistine Chapel was celebrated on August 9, 1483.
The wall paintings were executed by Pietro Perugino, Sandro Botticelli, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Cosimo Rosselli, Luca Signorelli and their respective workshops, which included Pinturicchio, Piero di Cosimo and Bartolomeo della Gatta.
Michelangelo Buonarroti was commissioned by Pope Julius II della Rovere in 1508 to repaint the ceiling; the work was completed between 1508 and 1512. He painted the Last Judgement over the altar, between 1535 and 1541, being commissioned by Pope Paul III Farnese.
We include a master plan of the Chapel which helps locate each painting by assigning an alphanumeric code.

Yet you admire Michelangelo who was in Pope Julian?s circle. He didn?t even want the job of painting the Sistine Chapel. He felt forced into it by the pope. Not exactly a labor of love. And of course, it was a commissioned work. Paid for by the Church.

Making a living is not incompatible with great art.

Dali was a money obsessed anal-fixated freak.
He was signing blank sheets of lithographic paper, for which he was paid $10 per sheet. (He could reputedly sign 1,000 in an hour.)

Let's see you paint something the way Dali did. It may be weird, but it obviously took time, thought and talent. So, go ahead and try to make a Dali forgery, I dare you.

ADL Colin · 03-02-2005, 05:01 AM

Dark Jedi,

So you think that the reason a work of art is created matters in determining whether it is good or not?

I had the great pleasure of seeing Michaelangelo's work at the Sistine Chapel... it is definitely an emotional overload.

No True Scotsman fallacy.

The point of art is to envoke emotion. If Dali's work envokes emotion within you, then he succeeded.

It is the small minded who do not understand art or appreciate it. There is art all around you, every day, but I'm willing to bet you don't see almost any of it, because you have such a narrow view of art that only people like Michaelangelo fit into it.

Keep posting, I could use more comedy in my mornings.

Why not? Just because one is being paid for it doesn't make it any more or less good. I've seen plenty of work done by "starving artists" that sucks ass. Stuff that is completely uninspired, unevoking, unthoughful and talentless. I've also seen amazing inspired, evoking, thoughful and highly talented pieces from professionals. It is possible to get paid, but still create art for the right reasons. It is when an artist loses sight of those reasons that his art deteriorates.
