Siren and I have just had a very in depth discussion about this type of art, and where she finds it exhilarating I tend to be of the opinion "wtf does a cow cut in half have to do with art?"... any slaughterhouse worker is an artist on that basis.

Warhol is the same, I think his work is quite childish and anyone who knows photoshop can do what he did.

Gimme a nice seascape of a ship in a storm any day of the week lol

I tend to think that if an artist presents something to me as art then that's what it is

I might think it's pretentious shit but it's art nonetheless

Not a great fan of his but do love modern art as much as I do claasic art. I do think the very fact that he divides opinioín so much is evidence that he is achieving exactly what he sets out to do.

some of it leaves me cold, others intrigued... but i guess that's the point - it provokes a reaction/thought or discussion

... the one thing i do think is if i saw anyone offering their version of Tracey Emins "My Bed" in a profile pic background, I'd think twice about messaging!

Mind you I do wonder what people who dislike Hirst would make of someone like the chapman brothers who are far darker.

Gotta say I don't think all modern art is pretentious shit. I loved the ship in a bottle on the fourth plinth at Trafalgar Square.It made me smile everytime I saw it and I also liked Anthony Gormleys' Event Horizon even if it was a bit sinister. The Weather Project at the Tate Modern was brilliant

I like the way he decorated his country home but I think his wife was the project manager. I can't make up my mind if I like his art or not.

What's with 100 million handmade ceramic sunflower seeds?

Once you've seen one you've seen 'em all.

And why did we have to buy 10 million of 'em, if we'd bought a million and put 'em on pallets nobody would've been any wiser.

I'm afraid when it comes to drawings, paintings, pictures, etc I am a cultural vacuum. Poetry is more my forte as it's so much more expressive in my very humble opinion.

Even that is a way of thinking about it, and wondering what is art...personally i would see a pretensions pile of wank a cockney wide boy made a fortune out of.

Gormly is fab, one of my artistic heroes.

Course anyone can photoshop the inspiration from Wahol's art. But who would pay them millions?

I love Monet and Van Gough but if I saw the Mona Lisa in person, I'd still want to slap her round the chops for being a miserable cow!

I would love to be taken on a tour of the historical art rather than modern art.

Tracey Emmin obviously copied my bedroom!

I do enjoy art, however, I'm not a poetry fan snd struggle as I want to hang myself from the rafters when I read it, give me a classic book/play or ballet anyday!

I have been to only a few galleries (I'm ashamed to say ) but would adore someone to take me to all the landmark galleries and have a personal expert on hand .........

any offers???

Rushden

What I don't understand is how everyday objects are art! Just because someone tells us it's art? Then we are all artists! Tracey Emin, Damian Hurst and the ilk are all pretentious pratts and looking down this thread, they have sucked quite a few in!

Anyone remember the program where Ester Rantzen had a load of 6 year olds do random “modern Art” and presented it at a gallery as a new painter? How the critics all fawned over it and said how great it was? Flustered looks when they were told the truth because they knew they were found out!

As far as I was told, art it creativity! Cutting a cow in half, making 10 million ceramic buttons (and not even yourself!) or a messed up bed is not art. If it is, we are all artists! Just because someone is prepared to pay a lot of money, it still doesn’t make it art!

Nail on head (no it's not an abstract conceptualisation of a man who walked under a ladder while a carpenter was fixing his guttering, it's just a saying)

..and what the fuck is it with this Banksy fella too. Loads of ghetto dwellers have been doing his shit for years, he just had the sense not to tell anyone it was a middle class white dude doing it.
