Mr roT said...: These look like New Yorker covers... Not bad if you like that style, but it seems more like entertainment than serious stuff, no?; 8/28/2011 5:55 AM
Mr roT said...: Ah, yes, I missed the rich inner conflicts attendant in the man reading the paper while the anorectic chick walks by him on the subway platform.

My bad.; 8/28/2011 12:23 PM
The Darkroom said...: I don't think so. There's a reference to the Die Brücke artists Kirchner/Rotluff & Co, not only stylistically but also thematically with the same sense of alienation in the urban environment.
The abstract Rotluffs that fetch in the $30M (in the vein of those in the H-town chapel) I don't get and don't understand the context but this is good shit.; 8/28/2011 12:27 PM
Mr roT said...: This guy knows how to put color on canvas.

I don't understand you when you say, "I don't get and don't understand the context but this is good shit." Art is communication. If you don't get it, then it doesn't communicate.

Those guys that inflate the prices of contemporary paintings to the millions are frauds.; 8/28/2011 12:33 PM
The Darkroom said...: I always need subtitles to appreciate abstract stuff and I don't think accessibility is a requirement. Just because Stravinsky isn't as pretty and immediate as Debussy's doesn't doesn't make it 'worse' even though it doesn't communicate as readily.; 8/28/2011 12:45 PM
The Darkroom said...: People inflate the prices on themselves. My, you are talking like a M-M-Marxist.; 8/28/2011 12:46 PM
The Darkroom said...: Freud beautiful. RIP.; 8/28/2011 12:47 PM
Mr roT said...: Dude, Stravinsky is as clear as a slap in the face.; 8/28/2011 12:49 PM
Mr roT said...: L'après-midi d'un mofo.

Stunning.; 8/28/2011 1:08 PM
The Darkroom said...: Right; 8/28/2011 2:43 PM
Mr roT said...: A pretty good Sacre from Brno.; 8/28/2011 4:47 PM
The Darkroom said...: yep; 8/28/2011 6:09 PM
The Darkroom said...: brno is sacha baron cohen ?; 8/28/2011 6:09 PM
Mr roT said...: Heh, no, it's where that Sacre orchestra is from. Little town in Czech Rep. close to Wien.

Stay away, they hate commies there bigtime.; 8/28/2011 6:49 PM
The Darkroom said...: they like nazis better ?; 8/29/2011 3:52 AM
Mr roT said...: A more distant memory, apparently.; 8/29/2011 5:01 AM
