A Silly But Accurate Guide On How To Recognize Famous Painters By Their Art (19 Pics)

I'm just so very bad at convincing

When I was a child my school wanted a new logo so the school paid a huge amount of money for a professional designer. And the result was a square that was made from 4 smaller squares, all were different colors, like a Windows logo. Everyone joked about that expensive logo over 10 years so the school finally changed the logo to something better. :D

You have to look at the work leading up to this and see it in it's timeframe to understand it's value.

You should see a Mark Rothko then.

But to paint so perfectly straight with nothing overlapping, not even a speck, not even after being colored in? All my lines are squiggly because I just can’t do it. To do this so perfectly by hand with paint is insane. I can try with painters tape but it still isn’t THIS perfect.

This would be like trying to explain tone, timbre, rhythm, and harmony to the deaf. If you're not attuned to color as depth and space, balance and form, there's no helping you. Pity.

You dont have to convince "everyone" (yr in "everyone" btw), just a couole of your critic and art agent friends and a select few rich, gullable collectors

That's all that any art ever was.

I once went to an art exhibit in my college fine art department; one of the artists in the show was a guy who literally splashed different colored paint on large rocks. Which is fine if you can tell me why that has some kind of meaning for you, but there was none of that.

It's really hard to get the proportions and colors to look good.

It is a response to the art that went before it. Words are free and anyone can use them. Put them together in a particular order and people will pay you millions for them. Ask Dan Brown. Would you pay millions to read The Da Vinci Code? No. Would you pay millions for the rights to the The Da Vinci Code? You probably would. Art is no different, paint or some other medium arranged in a particular order. Would you pay millions to hang a painting in your wall just because it looks nice? No. Would you pay millions to hang a painting on a museum wall because it'll earn you several more millions? You probably would.

The Partridge Family could have sold their bus and retired.

Imagine being so dissatisfied with your own life that you have to p**s on something just to make yourself feel better

I once heard about a guy who went to a modern art museum and simply placed his glasses on the floor between two paintings when no one was watching... People started taking pictures of it as though it was some breaking-through work of art.

The most upsetting aspect of these pictures is his capacity for such fantastic works such as his series of trees.

Ya know what they say...there's one born every minute🤣

That seemed to be what all the teachers and art critics think art is. :( If it's representational and takes time and skill, they seemed to think it wasn't art unless it was actually from the Renaissance era.

Jackson Pollock.

That is the artist's soul shining through the work. As cliche as it sounds, it's the difference between something created to make money and something created because it is an expression of love for the work itself.

Art is meant to be seen in person to really get it.
