If you could have one on permanent loan to put on your living room wall, which of these masterpieces would you choose?

The trouble with the older generation on TBV is that you do not appreciate modern art. You have ,more than likely, have been brought up on classical art depicting real life images of people and scenery, such as the Mona Lisa. I own a few paintings by Australian artists Pro Hart and Albert Tucker, whilst they are not as abstract as those on this thread they depict scenes that not real life . I have one by Pro Hart of a country racetrack where the horses are like rocking horses your children would ride and all the punters are painted stick-like.
BTW. If I owned any of those on this thread, I would not care what any thought of it as I would have so much money it meant nothing, although like everyone else it would be meaningless if I did not have good health, which money cannot buy.

Given the number of times that some alleged masterpiece has passed through many hands without being appreciated much by anyone, till it was discovered as the work of some now famous painter, it really has less to do with what is on the canvas, and more to do with who daubed it. Many times people have sought to have a painting authenticated as the work of a supposed master, depending upon that, the value could be millions, or peanuts. If it is true art, it should stand on what presents to the viewer, nothing else. It is the last word in snobbery and bullsh1t.

I have known monied people with art collections, and yes, they are snobs, trying to distinguish themselves with the ownership of some two-dimensional scrawl that somehow came into fashion, like flared jeans.

Not sure about what you say Bob. I have a Pro Hart racing scene too and I love that sort of work. Except for the fact it "might" make me very rich if I found one of these in the attic, I wouldnt have any of them.

“Art” related:
I recall the first time I went to New York City and came across a street vendor as I was about to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. The guy was selling all sorts of sketches he had apparently done. I got one for $10, was some famous landmark which I can’t remember. Anyway, when I returned to Australia a couple of weeks later I took a closer look at it and realised it was just a photocopy of a sketch. The laugh I got was probably worth the $10.

I bought a road side painting in oils, in Kenya, for $150 US. Its original. And its quite stunning. Not a repo. Much rather have that on my wall than any of those. Apart from my Pro Hart of course

They all look like something you’d find on an overpriced t-shirt.

I was quite happy to do so, EnableMe. They are all so poor its mind blowing. Cost more to get it framed here at home, than to buy it . But at least it LOOKS like something , and not a load of stuff a chimp painted ! I agree, Red Hare.

My husband has seascapes, animals, birds, people, planes, landscapes all over our house. I've had to get rid of plenty as no where to store them all. He never spent a great deal I think the last one was about $120 in Mooree tafe. He just liked to support artists to get a start. I'd post some but can't get any to load without getting a error message.

In the spring of 1949, the press baron Viscount Rothermere gave a ball that defied Britain’s postwar decline. The men wore white tie, the women their family jewels. The Queen Mother was there, and so was the royal of the moment, Princess Margaret. Late that night, the princess, giddy with Champagne, took the mic from Noël Coward and delivered her party trick. Her Royal Highness began to sing, off-key and out of time. The revelers loyally cheered and called for more. Margaret was just beginning to mutilate “Let’s Do It” when a “prolonged and thunderous booing” emerged from the crowd. The band stopped, and the princess reddened and rushed from the room. “Who did that?” Lady Caroline Blackwood asked the man at her side. “It was that dreadful man, Francis Bacon,” he fumed. “He calls himself a painter but he does the most frightful paintings.” |
