And while you're there, be sure to visit the Bird Art exhibit.

Ya know..... what some people declare art still boggles my mind.

Am thinking of opening an aroma art gallery (alright who farted?). Wonder if I could get a big fat government grant to open it?

[akinsey]

WTH???

I agree with Target. Art is in the mind (deranged etc.) of the creator/beholder. For more on this, see http://www.junglefriends.org/art.shtml

It all depends on how we view art, to some people art is something simple, just a bunch of colours or objects and they asses the value or depth by how much they like a certain piece.

Others view art as an interaction of the colours, objects, mood, message, artists wishes and abilities, styles etc...

So to those who see art as something simple that anyone can do, then I guess the above link will be interesting.

To me it's a waste of hard disk space and time.

Things like this strengthen my resolve to end public funding for the National Endowment for the Arts. Believe it or not, my wife, an artist, is the one that led me down that path and would love to see it taken away since we are being forced to pay for stuff like this. Maybe next we should set up a museum for the people who see Elvis in Corn Flakes too. What kind of art is bird crap? Good grief.

And ClubMed, did you mean asses or assess?

I guess it is telling when you can't tell a joke about an artist from the real thing. This is a joke and I took it for the real thing.

Well, who do you think does the assessing?

I have a bunch of "Art" on the windshield of my van.And to think I was just going to wash it off

You should have seen the critique I sent in - here - http://www.monpa.com/wcp/critic.html - I can't repeat it, as it's against the forum rules.

However, seems some idiots pay between 5-7K for cat art.. I'm thinking that Taz (our cat) is gonna have to get with the progam here.

A dual splay of the Blue Winged Teal, dated 1983, was sold recently in a leading Dallas gallery for $6000. Similar prices for top quality compositions have been obtained in London's Cork Street. This trend comes as a surprise to the many who question whether splays can truly be works of art.

Is this for real?
