Loose Parts by Dave Blazek for September 15, 2021

The pictures are so “pure”.

So accurate; I’ve seen so many aspiring photographers take pics of almost anything in black and white and think it’s “artistic” while that same pic in color would be nothing.

Suitable only for government grants.

Washington State passed a law, “1% for art,” meaning that 1% of the construction cost for any public building had to be dedicated to art.

So the $750,000 Tacoma Dome had a 75,000 piece of art. Rather than commission something reflective of the Pacific Northwest, they decided on an abstract, ugly, neon set of squiggles.

People booed, every time it was turned on, so the owners would turn it on at the last note of the National Anthem. Even the “libs” in Washington State wouldn’t boo then.

chiarobscuro…

That’s for sure.

It’s all in the presentation ….size matters

Not lazy. Just doesn’t understand filters.

Ah – what do art critics know, anyway? I’m loving the simplicity!

“Everything looks worse in black and white.” —Paul Simon

It was all done with computers and “laziers”.

Would be priceless as NFTs.
