Let me begin by telling you that when my brother was just starting school, he rebelled at the rules of spelling. Why did words have to be spelled in a particular way? Why couldn't he spell them as he wanted to spell them? He resented the rules and he resisted the authority of those who made them ! Keep this in mind. I think that Conceptual art originated with people who could not and would not do the difficult work required to become a 'traditional' artist. Can't master the necessary skills ? No knowledge of perspective? Can't draw? Don't want to have to learn color theory? Can't master composition? No knowledge of human anatomy? Can't render tonal values Can’t be bothered ? These are skills that you have to WORK to perfect. It’s difficult. It takes…..effort. You want a fast track to the exalted position of "artist “. Well then, belittle the importance of those skills and debase the notion that they are a prerequisite to creating art. Instead, create an art genre that you CAN do. A new genre. And let's call it Conceptual art. Conceptual artists claim that IDEAS and CONCEPTS are the main feature of their art. They can slap anything together and call it ''conceptual art'' confident that viewers will find SOMETHING to think about it no matter how banal or trivial the artist's concept! There is no way conceptual art pieces can be judged. The promoters of this art have attacked the motives and credibility of authorities and critics who might disparage the work. They have rejected museums and galleries as defining authorities. They reject the idea that art can be judged or criticized . All of this results in a decline in standards. And when you jettison standards, quality suffers. There really IS such a thing as BAD art ! We know this only because we have standards and criteria by which such things can be evaluated. It seems that conceptual art comes down to a basic idea: No one has the right or authority to make any judgements about art ! Art is anything you can get away with ! A whole new language has been created to give the work an air of legitimacy and gravitas. Conceptual art is 'sold' to the unwary public with ....."ArtSpeak". ArtSpeak is a unique assemblage of English words and phrases that the International Art world uses but which are devoid of meaning! Have you ever found yourself confronted by an art gallery’s description of an exhibition which seems completely indecipherable? Or an artist’s statement about their work which left you more confused than enlightened? You’re not alone. Here are examples of ArtSpeak: “Works that probe the dialectic between innovations that seem to have been forgotten, the ruinous present state of projects once created amid great euphoria, and the present as an era of transitions and new beginnings.'' Or… “The exhibition reactivates his career-long investigation into the social mutations of desire and repression. But his earlier concerns with repression production--in the adolescent or in the family as a whole--give way to the vertiginous retrieval and wayward reinvention of mythical community and sub-cultural traditions.'' This language is meant to convince me that there is real substance to this drivel which is being passed off as art. I don't buy it. But plenty of other people DO buy it. Not because they love the work. They are laying out enormous sums in the belief that their investment will bring them high returns in the future. One Jeff Koons conceptual piece is three basketballs suspended in a fish tank. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Three_Ball_Total_Equilibrium_Tank_by_Jeff_Koons,_Tate_Liverpool.jpg Here is Koons' own ArtSpeak explanation of his floating basketball 'concept' verbatim: “This is an ultimate state of being. I wanted to play with people’s desires. They desire this equilibrium. They desire pre-birth. I was giving a definition of life and death. This is the eternal. This is what life is like, also, after death. Aspects of the eternal” Rather lofty goals for 3 basketballs suspended in a fish tank!! It sold for $350,000. I wonder what it would have fetched without Koons' name attached to it. Or take the case of Martin Creed's ball of crumpled white copy paper. www.abebooks.com/signed/Work-sheet-paper-crumpled-ball-Creed/7404135374/bd He made almost 700 of them! Some sold for hundreds of dollars. Martin Creed, when asked during an interview how he would respond to those who say the crumpled paper ball isn’t art said : “ I wouldn’t call this art either. Who says, anyway, what’s good and what’s bad?” Interviewer: ''When confronted with conceptual art, we shouldn’t worry whether it’s art or not because no one really knows what art is.'' Is this what art has come to?? Something radical has happened to the art scene in the past 60 years. Cubism slid into non-representational art....what is often called Abstract. Abstract or non-representational art is a legitimate and often profound genre. But to many people, it appeared as if this new style had no structure, principles or standards of evaluation. It’s markings seemed random and arbitrary. Something that anyone could do. Any composition of blotches or scribbles was “Abstract Art”. This was the slippery slope that led to the abandonment of standards in art. Art is what I say it is....and lots of people jumped on the art bandwagon. Anyone can be an artist. Anyone can mount a show. And who is to say if it has value or not ? A tacit agreement has formed among critics, galleries, publications and auction houses to promote and celebrate certain artists and styles. Objects with no artistic merit are touted and praised . Their value increases with every magazine article, every exhibition in a prestigious gallery. And when they come up for auction, sometimes the auction houses will lend vast sums to a bidder so that it appears as if the work of the particular artist is increasing in value. The upward spiral begins and fortunes are made. And many are reluctant to declare that the Emperor is, in fact, naked lest they appear boorish unsophisticated Philistines ! This is what dominates the art market today. The love of money is the root of all evil. It has corrupted politics. It has corrupted sport. It has corrupted healthcare. It has corrupted religion. And now it has corrupted art. But, there is reason to hope. As much of the wisdom of the Greeks and Romans was kept alive through the Middle Ages in small pockets of learning and culture, ateliers have sprung up around the world that are devoted to preserving and handing down the traditional visual arts: drawing, painting and sculpting to each new generation. And when this craze for conceptual art has burned itself out and when visual art is no longer looked on as mere decoration and when schools that have dissolved their art programs want to reestablish them again, the world will find these skills preserved through the atelier movement.

Interesting, seems my art style is a mixture of naive, abstract, and outsider.

Great analysis, thank you! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

all the right people and all the right schools. What we didn't know was he graduated from the school of Con. he couldn't decrypt sophisticated scribbles, scrawls, and scratches. he will not be remembered.

The text changes too quickly and coloured words are lost against the background.

Jackson Pollock and Edith Metzger died in a car accident now Ruth Kligman was lucky to have survived but almost died in the car accident

What?

Wonderful ❤

Magnifique !

Sick.

Richard Serra is most closely associated with post-minimalism

Anyone can be an Art Collector there is no real secret. There are any number of things that help you as a collector as you define more specifically what it is you want to collect and why Etc... I have bin collecting Art for over 25+ years and have an estimated 275 - 300 works of art. To start the best advice is to collect what you love and only pay as much as what you think it is worth to you not what others say you should or that it's worth it to pay more, to that degree you go beyond that the art becomes less art and is now a commodity witch is what the elitist art world is primarily about.

Srr

Subtitles go by too fast I gave up

Very helpful, thank you.

red doodles, has a title for this thing "ADHD"

This was a lot to take in but I will refer back to it

Juan appears to be an opportunist. Highly suspect. I am sure her actual family would have liked to have had the items Juan had…sad.

thank you it helped me with my first power point.

I like his effect so inspiring me

Ok. Nobody in their right mind can call this art

lol

You forgot the part where O'Keefe appeared by members of her household to be experiencing dementia, and in which JH had set up a phony wedding situation with her -- which was witnessed, and which ended up in her biography. His isolation of her put a shade on her later years, helping estrange her from her family. But you've created a tidy spin on a super shady situation at the end of her life which saw her once-plumber make away with her estate! For shame.

I could use someone's assistance to organize my own paintings and drawings. .

Amazing images of Kensington Vancouver and tenderloin lol

Who cares what the relationship was. No one’s business but theirs. They were adults.

Thank you beautiful video

One rumor I've heard is that she had infected a young sailor with syphilis and to get revenge, he came to her apartment, which was generally unlocked, walked in, found her passed out and then turned on the gas. She was a deeply troubled woman, who had been raped by her brute father, and became a sex addict. She had syphilis for years and tried to give it to William Carlos Williams, the doctor and poet, telling him it would spark his creativity. She stalked him for months and during one occasion, he had to punch her in the face to get her away from him. She prostituted herself too, and lived in squalor, often going weeks without bathing. She was ultimately a tragic figure...

Love comes in many ways, I feel it was a mature relationship , like a grandson admiring a grandmother, he prolonged her life and gave her new hope with creating new art being blind….judgement is in the eye of the beholder, let her rest in peace❤️🧑‍🎨🦋

What commitment, love, and sense of duty. Some will never understand.

Thanks. I only knew a little. But now I know more. Good story

Beautiful relationship just beautiful

ANTI-DADA is DADA Too!

great video

🙂

helpful!👍👍👍

Hi I got few paintings want to show you if good heartedly to allowed me.

Is the standard of art lower for her because she's a female?

It was the lies, fearmongering, and abuse of power by the politicians and media that forced people into isolation, not a "global pandemic".

0:20. Should be read as "Politicians forced people into isolation, quarantining themselves in their homes".

Will this show be touring at all? Love the video Hopper is a personal favorite

Wow ' ,.. thought our people knew about mesh and stem and what creation's is about ,. how misleading' creation's is about how spirit's work with the existence ,.. mesh is with the magpies to start with

Is there an age limit to enter the competition

Sounds like an opportunistic user to me. She wanted children but Steiglitz had been there and done that. That was probably his way in.
