a) just because it looks as though a 5 year old did it, don't be fooled.
a 5 yr old DIDN'T do it...a grown up thinking person did....there's a big difference.B) modern or abstract or whatever art, often isn't meant to be looked at like a painting of a tree...many times it's intended to be a study on shape, colour, expression of something...
C) it can often be part of a larger cycle of works, where one is intended to look at the whole cycle to see the artists intent. each piece being one element in the larger whole. each piece is relevant tho, as part of the overall journey.
D) just because YOU don't understand it (and i'm looking at you qcruise ;) doesn't make it more or less a work of art.
sometimes ya get it, sometimes ya don't...but that it IS art is without question.E) Dada exhibitions often drew a fair bit of anger since normally, bicycle wheels nailed to a stool aren't considered great works of art.....now of course we look at the DADA movement with the benefit of hindsight and realize how relevant and worthwhile it was...an incredibly important moment in art history as viable as any other...
now...that is what i remember from art history, taught be an incredible teacher that truly got it...and was a working artist to boot...not just some guy with a text book...
anyhow, thats my opinion...
would i buy em?
no...hell no...i think its crap.
but then again, i also think it's art...
i don't happen to dig it myself,
but i wouldn't say he's not an artist.but thats just my opinion...
