# it's called
Artists being TWUNTS.
You see me and you and anyboby who is not a professional artist could do that and it would be like 'Oh philistine, but they don't understand or matter so it's fine..

But poncy new modern artists do it JUST TO PISS OFF OTHER PONCES. And to get a reaction, which they do, which sells their crap. Great.

It is of couse due to 95% of all art being utter bollocks and lots of people having to justify themselves as if they don't they are the first up against the wall to be shot.

# Of course it's funny
it points out the whole irony of "Art"

# I saw a documentary about Jackson Pollock and the amount of
emotion and energy he put into his spatter paintings. Shame he didn't realise that they were utter fucking shit, and everyone from the special school down the road had done the same but with special sticks attached to their heads instead of using a brush and a ladder.

# but he was the first
and actually he was a very powerful painter..

go and see an actual one of his better ones and then say that - "Blue Poles" for example is great.

# Blue Poles is on the cusp of his decline.
By the time he died, he couldn't get arrested. His mid period of about 7 years was fantastic.

# The documentary was about the arse-end of his career.
I'm not a mad 'modern art is shit' type person. There is loads of stuff I love. I dug Hirst's dot stuff for exactly the same reason I dislike the work I saw in that documentary. It made me think. Hirst's work made me think "Cheeky bastard". Pollock's made me think "drunk man on ladder"
I'm totally out of my depth now, as I admit I've not seem much Pollock stuff. I'll stop now before I make an even bigger twat of myself.

# about 1%
of hirst's stuff is any good - same for pollock unfortunatelt.

Hirst pisses me off because he only comes up with a concept and then gets someone else to make it (who are then uncreditied).
He's just a cynical business man and a rippoff cnut. Hate him for that reason - he is ruining art for those who actually do anything resonable.
