Japanese prints

This is much better stuff than what Pepe peddles.

If you like these, you should check out Hokusai & Hiroshige.

Why does anyone like that stuff? I sat through a hell of a lot of Hokusai being told that stuff was every bit as good as Velazquez, Caravaggio, Rembrandt,...

It's all bullshit cartoons.

boooooooooooorrring.

This is some kind of foreign=good PC shit as far as I can tell, elevating some dumbed down foreign art form to the level of ours.

It's like comparing a bunch of goddamned Africans banging on treetrunks to the Chicago Symphony playing Wagner (to make them the least fun possible).

OK, the schwartzes seem to have fun and after about 2 L of IPA, I might too, but it is not our stuff.

What next, AI? You into muezzins like Pepe and Pres Hussein?

De gustibus non est disputandum, JJ. Yep, I like Japanese prints. No, it's not a multiculti thing, or saying they beat El Greco. Just interesting in and of themselves, and certainly better than some random photographs, like that shot of some thrift store junk that Pepe would like to sell for $3 million and change.

You did say that these cartoons are better than what Pepe sells without knowing what Pepe sells, particularly.

The guy with the blurry oaks in the New Orleans nights is more interesting than that Japanese stuff.

It's interesting, OK, but is it an oeuvre d'art? I don't think so -- just a random photograph.

Jap cartoons are nothing compared to some random Jap snaps.

It seems the only intelligent conversations we can have here are about sex. Fine by me though.
