Modern Art
a: Modern art ~
b: Roy Lichtenstein's Bull Profile Series
What: Generally , Art over the last 100 years or so has been characterized by a transition from representational to NON-representational form. What does this mean? The series of prints from Roy Lichtenstein's "Bull Series" has 6 pieces. The first being a Bull and then the next prints showing the Bull being abstracted into basic geometric elements of line and circle and also basic color elements of yellow, blue and red. This series not only demonstrates how this artist can imagine, but encapsulates what many artists believe art is as such.

Modern Art As Commodity
a: Modern art ~
b: Commodity
What: "Art has become a speculative commodity, where the "value" is determined almost exclusively by the signature. In fact, it's really a currency, not a commodity, just like paper money which has no intrinsic value except the signature." Or maybe,like currency, the value of an art piece is based on the faith and belief of the artist, their patron and perhaps, the purchaser.

modern break down
a: Modern art ~
b: driving a car until is breaks down
What: "Modern art is like taking a car and driving it as crazy as you can until it breaks down; how far can you take art before it ceases to mean anything? You're uncovering as much new territory and techniques as you can with less concern for the obvious."

A Modern Art Bowel Movement
a: Modern art ~
b: a good bowel movement
What: "Modern art is like a good bowel movement. Of great satisfaction to the artist, but of no interest what so ever to anyone else." She was a corker and a very real inspiration. She volunteered for years at our local art museum, so indeed knew the subject well.

Modern Art Is Like Jazz
a: Modern art ~
b: jazz
What: "Modern art is like jazz, a pretentious muddle that means nothing to most people, celebrated by the haughty few who want to be different from that majority, but perhaps invented for that reason only, very rarely anything of note and structure produced for the common man."

A disintegrating painting?
a: modern art ~
b: a realist painting disintegrating
What: "My vision of the history of modern art is like watching a realist painting literally disintegrating back into its elements until it becomes-what?" This is an excellent discussion of modern art.

Art And Money Go Hand In Hand......
a: Modern art ~
b: a stock market bubble
What: "When i was making serigraphs i got an uncanny feeling that i was printing money. And my show was an IPO (Initial print offering) There are huge parallels between art and money. Money is resource based or should be and art is a resource or may be. However contemporary hyped up modern art is like a stock market bubble...Prints are like small denomination notes...We have to survive while we train in the classical arts...:)"

Modern Art=religion
a: Modern art ~
b: religion
What: "Donner has turned against modernism, railing against the "easy victories" of the avant garde, and arguing that modern art is like religion, "only sustained by faith", a sham in which everyone is complicit. Again this all reflects back on the theme of blindness: whether, when looking at art, we all fill in the imaginative gaps, as Sophie does."

Art Museum As Funhouse
a: Going to a modern art museum ~
b: having your senses assaulted
What: "By the end of the day, I felt dazed. Going to a modern art museum is like having your senses assaulted moment by moment. You get a little loopy by the end of it. Stepping outside into the fresh air was intoxicating and invigorating. It was like a good night's rest, a hot shower, and a hearty breakfast, all in one deep breath of cool air."
