Mind you, with all the airbrushing that goes on with photos these days, it's difficult to find out what a person really looks like.<br /><br />:o)<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />PMPlastic Mancunianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864213919913476168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-74469359129113310552015-11-01T04:40:32.395+00:002015-11-01T04:40:32.395+00:00Well now I have to google Pink Floyd album covers....Well now I have to google Pink Floyd album covers...<br />I like art that looks like something, landscapes, seascapes. street views etc.Not keen on portraits though. Most modern art is something I walk past quickly, but there are some pieces that make me think, oh, that would look nice in my living room.(which is currently filled with old photos of kids and grandkids, because I don't own any art and there isn't anywhere else I can store these old photos.)Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-70529339927942713792015-10-31T16:40:05.030+00:002015-10-31T16:40:05.030+00:00Hi Joeh,

I don't like art that goes out of the way to "challenge" me - or just get up my nose. maybe that's why I'd rather look at an exhibition of Pink Floyd album covers than most of the self-indulgent shite that passes for art these days. <br /><br />I think I like art where the creator set out to make something wonderful.

You ...I think I am on the same page as you on art. You either like it or you don't, and yes there are a number of people who need to be told what they like. Some contemporary stuff I just like, whether for the colors or shapes or whatever, but much is as you say, vomit on a canvas.<br /><br />Howard Stern, an irreverent DJ in the states once claimed anyone could duplicate a Jackson Pollard painting. He did his own concoction of splatters and streaks and challenged his staff to pick the Pollard. His painting was chosen by 50% of the guessers.<br /><br />Music is different I don't think you can tell people what they should like (maybe some pretentious operas or Broadway musicals) you feel good music in a different way then you feel art. Personally I have no talent in either of those arts, and I am very jealous of those that do have talent.<br /><br />I do disagree with you about photography. I understand it is also a real talent, but I could accidentally take a great picture, I could never paint a great landscape.<br /><br />To me, photography is to visual arts as drummers are to music. (Don't tell anyone, I have a few friends who are good photographers and excellent drummers.)joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.com
