djchapsticks Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Does anyone pretend to understand Jackson Pollock or any of his work? I mean it's literally a guy fucking about with splashes. Number 17A - $200m No. 5 1948 - $140m - Now valued at $300m Mural on Indian Red Ground - Valued at $250-$300m Autumn Rhythm value $150m upwards: I mean, what the f**k is going on in any of those? A literal garbled mess worth upwards of $1 billion and that's just a few of his several, several pieces. No real skill or technique required, anyone who can 'interpret' this in anyway is quite simply blowing smoke up folks arses as much as Mr Pollock was himself by creating these. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davie2wheels Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Her's one I just finished. Well nearly finished - I'll probably stare at it long enough to find something I don't like and then change it. Then it's either a "yay" moment or a "bugger" moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killie Zenit Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Have a print of this by Hiroshi Yoshida in my room. Check that water effect out. Also like Nikolai Kopeikin, a contemporary St Petersburg artist who does a lot of satirical stuff about modern Russia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could draw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that- I should spend more time on here, get far too fired up on other threads Agree re: Degas, stunning artwork. His series of 'ladies at toilet' are also very good. My Uncle did a lot of paintings of the San Francisco Ballet, I swear they were like huge time lapsed photos. If I had any digital copies I would upload them for you to see, but alas I don't. Last time he was over here (many years ago) we all went to the Burrell collection and saw the paintings and sculpture of Degas there. None of this talent has rubbed off on me unfortunately- I cannot draw/paint either- complete rubbish and I greatly admire those that can.
