RE: Contest: Art Commenting Contest

It feels to me that if you create something, you feel something and like to express it. By creating I don't mean the way we did something at school where the teacher told us how to do it and asap. A few might have liked it while others should have hoped for some instructions how to do it.

Perhaps being an artist is a feeling?

I believe art doesn't need to be explained and should speak for itself but also that if a viewer wonders, has a question the artist should be able to answer. For example @newton666 did as I asked.

I tend to believe that if it comes to throwing buckets of paints only those who call themselves artists and have someone to promote them can afford doing this.

I believe the duc-taped-banan-art is art these days and here comes my question: How come this is considered art if an adult does it but not if a toddler or someone with Alzheimer's disease expresses him/herself this way?

LOL Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
@jiva34 and @eveetim what do you think about the the painting showed?

Greetings, thank you. Yes, well. That depends on the artist. How he expressed that feeling and makes his art according to his technique that he masters and how hearts reach him and you are completely right in what you are telling me because it is the essence of that part of life.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. What do you think about Herman Brood his art? I just added some info about him.

How come this is considered art if an adult does it but not if a toddler or someone with Alzheimer's disease expresses him/herself this way?

Because it was made by a so-called famous 'artist'? Here, the society recognizes Maurizio Cattelan as one. He has other artworks that made sense to me, but the banana is just too ridiculous.

The toddler and the person with Alzheimer’s might have been artists in their own right, but without society to back them, they are set aside and ignored.

The toddler and person with Alzheimer's might not care if they are called an artist. Perhaps there's a message, perhaps they are having just fun or try out the new colours.
Perhaps they are discovered and their work is getting famous just like the painting monkeys.

The banana was for sure a statement and the days of this type of art was counted.

Thanks for the talk. ♥️🍀

My thoughts about the work is that we have different kinds of artist. We're all artists based on our capability, the person who made that painting would have done that to portray or convey a message.

What is that message according to you?

I truly don't know what it is, I believe there's one. As far as I know artists, they don't just make an art work, but they have an intention or message they are passing to others. Except it's not a piece of arts.
