I'm pretty sure they don't sell. My favorite local restaurant has had the same 5 art pieces that are in the same vein of work as that for about two years now.

>>1898501
If it sold it wouldn't be on the wall. Anyone can try to sell something for any price.

>>1898514
>>1898517
I hope it doesn't sell too, but just to have the audacity to call it art in itself is pissing me off.

Most importantly, there are pieces like this displayed in art galleries and museums, what is with modern/postmodern/contemporary art? Why are they art?

>>1898501
its a face

Hahahah you're so adorable

>>1898501
lots of amateurs overprice their shit, either they don't really want to get rid of it or they have their head up their ass. nothing to get worked up about
>>1898530
Take an art 101 course and find out.

It's not a waste of canvas, there are plenty of canvases out there.

And we most certainly don't draw for money.

So there is nothing lost, no need to be alarmed. It doesn't get in the way of your studies.

>>1898544
yes it is. I took a shit today, smeared over toilet paper, looked like a face too.

>>1898580
Who are "we"?

If you draw like this then you are wasting canvas as well, and no, it doesn't get in the way of my studies, as I draw not for money, I wouldn't try to sell any of my drawings. Certainly not some lines I scribbled that looks like a face and call it art.

>>1898589
Why are you so angry?

>>1898611
I'm allergic to bullshit

>>1898649

Have fun being stagnant in the art world. I assume your head in stuck up your ass and only accepts semi realistic representational art as art.

But don't worry, OP's pic creator is also stagnant. Nothings new in it.

>>1898649
so don't sniff assholes. you could be making art, or at the very least making threads about technique or inspiration. instead you're sniffing shit and sneezing.

>>1898685
this.

fun fact, artists name "Faul" means "lazy" in german

>>1898681
I'm not in the art world, neither do I desire to be, if make shit and bullshit the deep meaning behind shit to sell is art, then I'd rather stay far away.

I'm merely a bystander seeing the truth. At least realistic representation requires skill, time and dedication to master the trade, art is a trade, no?

If one produces such piece that all humanity can replicate, where is the "master of the trade?" Who upon us can't scribble, who can't write sentences?

Does simply making things declare you an artist? Does writing words make you a writer?

When you try to write like Mark Twine, Cormac McCarthy, you can't, when you try to paint like Michael Angelo, Da Vinci, you can't. Thus make them inspirational, make them the master of their trade.

Just because someone bullshit you in buying into the "modern art", doesn't make it truly valuable. No matter how much packaging you wrapped it around with, what is shit, is always shit.

>>1898685
But assholes are always up in my face, the stench makes me want to rant.

>>1898747

>be into facesitting

huehue

Why do people act like it's such a virtue to not be "doing art for money?"

The best artists have the skills AND the business sense, just look at Vilppu. If you love what you do then better chance of monetizing it successfully.

>>1898749

>people still think art can be objectively bad

for your own sake give it a rest.

>>1898755
1/10

>>1898501
Where can I buy this?

>>1898755
are we talking about Schrodinger's cat here?

>>1898750
I admire artist like Vilppu, for me its not about the virtue, simply not good enough, and I know it. I don't make shit and bullshit about it, mine is shit, thus not doing for money.

>>1898501
that perfect line economy particularly the one that guides you from the top of his face through the nose all the way down to that blue note,

truly a pretty good piece for what it is. put it on.

>>1898769
I took shit today, diarrhea, with lines perfectly streamed from top to a piece of bile at the bottom, going through mountains of froth and debris and specks of feces, with yellow and brown merging together in the middle, as a if a face submerged and emerging from under. It's truly a master piece, would you be interested in purchasing, selling for a hundred dollar only.

>>1898774
>being this much of a Plebtician

>anon pls

>>1898783
If you can argue the differences between my art, and such as posted, please enlighten me.

"To attempt to silence a man is to pay him homage, for it is an acknowledgement that his arguments are both impossible to answer and impossible to ignore."

Why do you spew something meaningful, patrician?

>JC penny art

>>1898841
your euphoria is killing you.

>>1898530
well son, you study fine arts to find out

>>1898750
Hobbyists who need to defend not being able to sell work in order to protect their ego and pretend they're "pure" artists and not "sell outs"

'cause this isn't historical times

jus tryin' to push the definition of art further
...
further
...

so how do you guys feel about Pollock, Rothko, or de Kooning. it seems like most of you dont know much about art and just like to draw stuff

>>1898900
I like them all (though I'm not a fan of Rothko's mature work).

However, I'm not the normative opinion here on /ic/. I can save you the poll and tell you most people on this board think the abstract expressionists are all hacks with literally zero talent who were successful only due to marketing and the CIA. If you want to have an intelligent discussion about modernism, contemporary art, or the avant garde, his is not the most conducive environment.

>>1898907
Sure they are not, but if you can intelligently point out the difference between Pollock and Rothko's art and to say, my shitting diarrhea spreading on a canvas, please, please enlighten me.

>>1898530
Because critics are dumb.

Just make sure your failure is done with paint and is done obviously.
From that, you can be as pretentious as you want.

>>1898755
>Someone having opinions about something means they think their opinions are objective.

>>1899142
And the intelligent discussion begins...

>>1898900
Pollock and Kooning are my faves and abstract expressionist is my jam.

>>1899581
de Kooning. Like Van Gogh.

>>1898755
>People still think paint splatters are art

paint splatters are more interesting than your study drawings, sorry

>>1900148
>tfw this

I think the only way to stop it is by not caring about it.
Don't bother looking at it, don't bother getting upset about it.
If it's a trend it will pass in time out of disinterest.

>>1900176
thats right stay out of the art world and continue drawing your shitty cartoons
