    I don't get the hate. Looking at this painting while listening to some ambient music, has made me realize the different kinds of beauty that exists in the world. It gives me hope, that people are still pushing boundaries, stepping outside the box, not following the crowd. Paintings like this come once in a lifetime and we should all be thankful to be able to live in the lifetime this painting was created.

    Oh no doubt. Art is big business but I'm not a fan of these type of pieces. Abstract and some graff is more of my taste. I just find it funny how some folks will go crazy of blood splatter patterns on a canvas. They be like "Oh my goodness. Thee emotion! I can just feel it! Bravo! I must have it. Heres a million dollars."

    Well you know what they say, beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.

    I just made a piece of my own in MS Paint it's called "Oh you thought you knew what you was doin, huh?"

    2hnaook.png

    It's a story of a person set out on a goal. Slowly travelling down what they think is the path to get there and then having to veer off at the very end of what seemed like a straight shot. The black dots represent outliers along the way...the first of which was unsuccessful (at the top) the second of which (at the bottom) caused the person to get off their path.
    A painting with such a simple explanation is far from being quality abstraction.

    Behold, the true pinnacle of nonobjective artwork:
    QlecaTW.jpg
    Mark Rothko – “No. 13 (White, Red on Yellow)” – Oil and Acrylic on canvas -1958. “It was with the utmost reluctance that I found the figure could not serve my purposes. But a time came when none of us could use the figure without mutilating it.” “The progression of a painter’s work as it travels in time from point to point, will be toward clarity – toward the elimination of all obstacles between the painter and the idea – and the idea and the observer. To achieve this clarity is inevitably to be understood.” “Since my pictures are large, colorful and unframed, and since museum walls are usually immense and formidable, there is the danger that the pictures relate themselves as decorative areas to the walls. This would be a distortion of their meaning, since the pictures are intimate and intense, and are the opposite of what is decorative.” “I’m not an abstractionist. I’m not interested in the relationship of color or form or anything else. I’m interested only in expressing basic human emotions: tragedy, ecstasy, doom, and so on.”


    His ? has sold for around twice the price of the painting in this thread.
