😆 Have a great weekend CG!
Thanks Paula. We had visitors and went to a cabin. Unfortunately the young one got sick with fever and vomit, but we all managed to have a good trip anyway.
Hope he is feeling better today.
I was just about to say as much – hahahaha – reminds me of what we say to people when they ask about art from an investment standpoint: “Buy it if you like it” just don’t ask the artist to make you one “sofa-size”…
“Buy it if you like it” – it’s a good saying, but I’m afraid that in most cases I can’t afford it 🙂
I know that feeling! You can always spring for the gicle…
Thanks for posting the link for those of us that do not know how to retrieve it without a direct email notification CG. ( and I still disagree that art is trash 🙂
Art is trash, especially modern art. Most of the useless modern artists will never be remembered for any of their creations.
One time I saw a “modern art” exhibition in Norway, where the artist had combined to bicycles so that they were both useless, turned them upside down and painted them yellow. It made me think that the government should really stop wasting the taxpayers money on supporting these artists with scholarships and other funding. Let them create something that people want to buy, or let them work for their money.
I agree I do not like modern art AT ALL and even not much impressionist art. I am a realist . That said, as a realist have you seem some of the abstract art that is literally thrown on a canvas and sold for extreme amounts of money? This is also a reality 🌏
“Art” that’s just vomited on a canvas sells solely because of art curators that’s in it for the money. There’s always a lot of bullshit when money’s around. Artists these days don’t really need a talent, they just need a good salesperson.
Yes that was my failure to find my entire life. I hate to self market
I hope you got my first reply? I was on my phone and it just kind of froze up but I agree with you !
I’ve never looked at art as a whore or an ass. I guess Bukowski did because it broadly accepts a wide assortment of interpretations, including some shitty ones! 😀
In my opinion, most of the “art” that we see today can be compared to what comes out of an whores ass.
Agreed! And, have a great weekend as well.
Throw all the useless modern artists out of the galleries, use the buildings as housing complexes for the homeless. Charge visitors money to see how the “former homeless people” live and call it an “art-installation”. Problems solved.
Wow, what an interesting thought.
Have a great weekend CG 😀
Thanks Erwin. I hope you had a good weekend too.
fun quote. love it.
Bukowski wrote good and had a lot of interesting points of view on life & things.
Quite.
Indeed.
Great photo, done with a big wink. 🙂
Thank you Suburbia.
Especially true since we all have a different concept of art.
I tend to agree with Bukowski on this one: throw it out!
Excellent picture.
Thank you Rabirius!
I like Charles Bukowski’s works… he’s been a “misunderstood” genius!
I totally agree with you Melanie!!
glad you had a great weekend and are ready to get back to it… nice photo – good use of black and white and perspective…. have a great week.
Thanks for your comment Mr. Watkins. The week was hectic, but now there’s a new weekend in front of me and it’s just started 😀
Isn’t that exactly what so many artists do and have done throughout the ages?
I guess you’re right. Perhaps it’s about time to start throwing the artists out on their whore asses instead?
Great quote. Love the photo too.
Thanks. The quote is absolutely brilliant in my opinion.
that looks great 🙂
I shot it when my camera was new. I photographed more or less everything that I saw those days… 🙂
pretty one
