Is Ignorance Banable

Eh, it's not an off-topic discussion though. Partly historical (the whole jive turkey imperialism that got the other thread locked), partly political (internationalism sucks), partly philosophical (meaning of art).

Yep, this is high quality stuff right here because I say it means a battle/a story of a warrior's life.

It would make a better story of it was a narative of someone's life, and if it was a battle they did a pretty shitty job of making it look like a battle. It probably was a battle, by the way.

I apologize link but this is for the common man to ask for help thread not hers my view now piss off thread

Me, Observer, Matt, and you are talking about Art.

Demondaze and Kal are talking about Internationalism and blah blah blah.

A good friend of mine is a Art major. He studied Native art for 2 years and Western for only 1. And that is the required course settings. That alone is proof that it isn't just shitty art. It opened doors too new forms of European art and greatly influenced it. It also played a integral role in the abstract art movement.

I like abstract art to an extent. Though the whole "pushing the boundaries" principle has gone off the map in my opinion. I mean, when people are referring to post-post-modernism as "SOOO last week" I think we've entered the realm of fantasy.

The Art Major is a joke, in case you didn't know.

Anyway, the reason it was was because of the whole Political Correctness/Multiculturalism movement. He probably was in a University that has/had the blunt of the movement.

Also the abstract art movement is a joke too. Only a little bit of it should be even worth considering putting into a museum or anything.

You mean Sur-Realism when you know about as much about what is in the image as about Nuclear Physics? Assuming your not an Artist or a Nuclear Physician.

Personal Opinion: All art is abstract art.

I'm sure Kara doesn't think abstract art counts as art. To him, it's nothing more than a picture or a book or a sound, and for that, I pity him. His hate blinds him.

If you stretch it, sure. But then by that logic I'd say, the most Abstractist art rarly is worthy of being in a Museum.

That statement is paradoxical. If all art were abstract art then there is no reason for abstract art to exist as a qualifier.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

No, it's art, it's just typically pretty bad art.

Also, if I make a giant cluster-fuck of things and call it art, I'm suddenly a visionary artist?

People try to keep putting other art movements and abstract sub movements behind them to try to maintain the idea that their abstract art is truly and absolutely abstract. They don't want to get categorized because that violates the core of the abstract movement in the art is outside the boundaries of traditional art. It's pretty silly.

A lot of incredible artist and art scholars who know far more than you or I would beg to differ. Abstract are is a fundamental part of art that you pretty obviously don't understand.

No one person gets to decide whats good art and bad art. Everyone has different taste, on one has better taste than anyone else.

It should just be called art. Besides, I needed something to argue about now that we've moved past Internationalism.

Your right, I should be dying to see more of this.

Can mods split this thread apart and then place them in different sections? Like lock it, split it apart and then reopen it?

I don't think anyone cares about the Original Discussion, so more split and then lock.

Don't be a smart ass when you don't know what your talking about. You clearly don't understand symbolism or varied style technique that goes into abstract art. Once again. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it isn't art.

Then what about all the other varieties of art? I mean abstract art is to art as biology is to science. The qualification exists because it has a meaning.

@Surfusa

Splitting the thread requires we pick certain posts to go to the split and certain ones to remain as part of the thread. It's a giant clusterfuck to do that multiple times to one thread, even if it's locked.
