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

xNetworx · 11-26-2005, 05:20 PM

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.

Damn, thats hidious.

Ice · 11-26-2005, 05:23 PM

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

mikeet · 11-26-2005, 05:23 PM

$750 for that, hell no.

vvq · 11-26-2005, 05:25 PM

lol. i wouldn't pay $7.50

ry0t · 11-26-2005, 05:26 PM

That is funny! I wouldnt spend $7.50 on that!

Sly · 11-26-2005, 05:27 PM

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.

chodadog · 11-26-2005, 05:28 PM

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.

Pipecrew · 11-26-2005, 05:46 PM

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.

Heh, I'll take a $20 Picasso... it's not like you have to tell what you really spent on something

phonesex · 11-26-2005, 06:01 PM

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

Spunky · 11-26-2005, 06:02 PM

Maybe worth 7.50,but that dude is high

Libertine · 11-26-2005, 06:06 PM

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.

adultchica · 11-26-2005, 06:08 PM

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

Nope, no land. He got the money for putting those things on it.

As for what it represents... according to him, those who see it have to make that out for themselves

Some critics' ideas on it: it is a play on the traditional picture in art of a road sidelined by trees, it's a commentary on the lack of nature in everyday society, it represents the organic essence of life and movement, it contrasts the alienating nature of traffic and technology with a view of organicity and human interaction, etc. Critics can be pretty creative.

SilentKnight · 11-27-2005, 12:01 AM

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.

Reminds me of "The Great Figure Five" by William Carlos Williams and what one of my literature professors had to say about it.

I like the take your father had on it. Leaves a lot open to interp by whoever is feeling pretentious around it.

DAMN, I might consider, dropping this business and becoming an artist.
20g's for a square, I'm wondering what they would pay for triangle.

Lol, for 750 you can get a perfect handpainted replica of any famous painting you like.

If the dog had been painted by a monkey or a dolphin, ok, I could see maybe paying that much.
