Pluggers by Rick McKee for August 06, 2011

THESE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THAT ELVIS IS NOT DEAD

that mess is a waste of paint

If you can’t recycle it, you may as well paint with it.

It may be a waste of paint but it’s still worth a Million $$

I know an atheist who saw the face of Darwin on a piece of toast.The thing that gets me is how these people are absolutely certain that the figure they see is a specific person whose image was never recorded.

Jackson Pollack was a fraud. Art has a creative dimension. Picasso’s “Guernica” is ugly and indecipherable, but it is still a product of creativity and thus qualifies as art. Random paint drippings are the equivalent of radio static.

Show me a contemporary painting (and don’t mention that fraud called the “Shroud of Turin”, which is less than a thousand years old)..

Pluggers are art-hating philistines.

Picasso’s “Guernica” is one I do ‘get’ deeply, and is fantastic. I don’t want to argue, but it is an anti-war, or ‘horrors of war’ painting, hence ugly – but powerful.But I generally agree that Pollack, Klee, et. al., ‘modern art’ is generally a big inside joke on the public… you can almost hear the voices in the back room; distorted by wild laughter, “Hey Guys! you’ll never believe what I actually SOLD this afternoon!!”

Kindergarteners finger-paint better than this ugly, hideous mess!

Jeez, I wish I could waste perfectly good paint that well.
