proof that...



...any monkey can be an artist fetching over $1,000 an original. forget the law. i might as well blindfold myself and shoot paintball pellets out of my butt at blank canvases to pay off my loans...

three comments:

one: Congo's work is pretty fucking amazing. it's not a baby's fingerpainting.

two: there are also gorillas and elephants whose artistic talents have been proven - their works were submitted to art juries anonymously and won awards!

three: our president is like a retarded chimp who doesn't even paint, so let's count our blessings when it comes to Congo.

kthnx

just because they won awards doesn't make their work 'amazing.' it says more about what people consider 'art'.

let's put it this way. one day in college i started throwing paint around for the hell of it. the art instructor was talking and i didn't feel like listening. seriously, i just farted around flicking paint around like a nervous tic. i wasn't even looking at the canvas. the art teacher thought the end product was great. WTF?!

dude, art is wack, especially "modern art." its "appreciation" involves more irrational subjectivity than in most fields, and frankly, most art is just plain shitty. it's truly a study in what being "progressive" is in its starkest form. what's "new" and "unique" is automatically "good," and to me, that's just silly.
