Thread Name: BS: Artsy or Fartsy?
Subject: RE: BS: Artsy or Fartsy?
The cross-eyed old painter McNeff Was color-blind, palsied, and deaf; When he asked to be touted 'The critics all shouted: 'This is art, with a capital F!'
I thought Norman Rockwell was a greeting card artist, and then I saw the painting he did on the Goodman-Schwener-Chaney killings.
I thought Picasso was one of the very greatest artists who ever lived, and now I think he was a very good artist.
I thought Salvator Dali was a great artist; now I think that he was an excellent draftsman.
I still like Joan Miro's stuff, and Paul Klee is fun. I also like Charlie Russell.
What is fine art? Whatever I think it is. Whenever it's Art, Thieme.
