Butthurt hipster says Picasso was wrong.

You're kids not an artists. He's actually an ADD riddled spaz who can't focus on one thing for more than 5 minutes. Sorry to break the news to you. Hopefully this won't ruin your spring holiday season.

I don’t know about yours, but my kids have no artistic integrity to speak of. One minute it’s marker, the next it’s watercolor. On Tuesdays it’s robots, on Thursdays it’s rainbows, on Sundays it’s abstract splodges. The next week — scratch that, the entire next month — it’s all bubble letters and glitter.

This is not art:

This is art.

Yeah, his kid is a complete fucking hack. Must be hereditary.

The question is, how many art critics and enthusiasts could you trick by blowing up some crappy children's art and then telling them they were released by Picasso's estate or Jackson Pollock's or some bullshit?

"Reflection of the soul". Suck my dick, asshole.

 

[Flemmy Stardust]

I will randomly yell out "That looks just like an apple!" from time to time.

 

[Tycho- Taylor's Version]

I don't think kids being artists means they necessarily produce "good art" by adult standards. They just inhabit a more relinquished state of mind.

Lol'd @ "my kids have no artistic integrity". How about journalistic integrity?

Picasso's early work (in case people say he doesn't know how to paint)

 

[El Chimpo]

not even going to read it but someone should take him right to suplex city

Yeah, so...fuck that guy.

Picasso didn't *literally* mean children were artists in the convention sense of the word artist. He was talking about child-like freedom.

Yeesh.

 

[IIIIIIII]

a lot of abstract art is bullshit, and people get suckered into buying the stuff through philosophical wankery.

 

[ThinkGreen]

I love all the cubism stuff Picasso did.

 

[bad seed]

this is above the level of discourse I expected from an art thread in a cagefighting forum.

It all comes down to simple definitions. The most uncoordinated middle aged man that plays recreational basketball every week is still a basketball player. You don't have to be a good artist to be an artist. The end.
