Art rant

0 min read
Why has so much art deviated from aesthetics? There is alot of stuff out there which substitutes form for meaning. Yes rules should be broken down, yes our view of the world should be questioned. But surely it should be done in a way that people find *truly* appealing? People now seem to mock art that is attractive, but with no grand statement behind it. I feel that art like that is closer to the ideal than work that has a grand statement, but no aesthetic substance. same with alot of poetry. Grrrrrr. end of rant.

   I was just musing on the idea of 'community'. Since starting uni i belong to a *real* art community and I've discovered that in my 'real' community, those who are 'arselickers', whiney bitches or pretentious soon get ousted, Whereas on DA many of them seem to thrive.   Don't get me wrong, i have no problem with DA, or many of those who contribute, and im not saying that virtual communities are any less valid than normal ones. I'm just sick and tired of being TOLD what a 'great' community DA is! There ARE many fine artists, and there are those who leave valid and intelligent comments, but many deviants seem to be guilty of several things:

thanks a lot for my watch....and for your views on angst poets....:)
Your devious information photo represents a level of hipocricy in you i had previously suspected but not noticed due to your highly evasive skills. Actually I noticed it all along.

All art doesnt have to have a statement behind it, you baffoon.

The only decent thing you said on your page was that you were a psuedo-intelectual. Which ironically you probably put in jest.
Why don't you go bestow your uncalculated judgements where they're wanted, mate? If you must get off on talking down to people as a means of making yourself feel superior, go do it in the forums, where I'm sure there are 'bafoons' aplenty for you to criticise to your hearts content.
I'm too arrogant to admit i'm wrong...
Have you ever done a degree in art? Until you have young man, you'll not understand the stance Mike's coming from. Unfortunately, we're marked based on the contemporary art movement (in laymen’s terms: art with meaning). And if you'd bothered to read the post, Mike was clearly stating his grievance at this FACT. Art has been this way since the 1970s, though I would say it began way back when Duchamp displayed his "Fountain".
This is just the way the art world is at present, and I don't see it ever going back.

And what's a baffoon?
what are you on about. i dont believe that art needs to have a meaning, i believe it has to have aesthetic properties, read before you comment.

also flaming is against the deviant art etiquette policies.
Thanks a lot for fav of my shot's at sunset... :+fav:!!! :hug: :boogie:
