Quoted: Hmmm?...Really?...Don't you?...Do you? Why do you think I am going to justify myself for my opinion? You asked for it, and if you don't like it, tough. Calling me a nazi sympathizer or implying such because I don't share your idea of art, now THAT's childish and dim. End of thread, as far as I am concerned. |

Hey genius,
I don't think you're a NAZI sypathizer because you "don't share my idea of art". Hell, lots of folks don't share my artistic view, that don't make them Nazis. I think your're a NAZI-sympathizer because [b]you DO share the NAZI's ideas about art.[/b] Who posted the Nazi picture anyhow? You did. Do you also get all pissy when people call you a "NAZI sypathizer" whenever the see you marching around in your little homemade SS costume? Look at yourself. Poor Kar, running scared. Thought his little Nazi picture would go unnoticed. Why can't you just be proud of your beliefs? If you feel the same way as the Nazis, just say so. You don't have to be sneaky about it. |

Quoted: End of thread, as far as I am concerned. At least from hearing from you, we can only hope that that's the case. You have once again brought nothing to a discussion. A wise person once wrote, " It is only ourselves which holds our self in such high esteem". Not really, it was me who just wrote it, and I am just a humble artist/gun freak. But the best advice I have for you Kar it to get over thyself. Your just a rat we like to pick on through a web forum. Pretty insignificant if you ask me. Its to bad your only identity comes from a race full of forgotten war criminals. |

Isn't it remarkable?
He posts a powerful Nazi picture to accompany his criticism. One that is representative of the Nazi's view of Art. Anyone with a brain can see that he is sypathetic to the sentiments of those who put up THAT particular exhibition. He certainly wasn't displaying it to condemn the Nazis. He just thought he was being clever. Then I identify the photo, and he gets pissy. Where are all the proud Nazis? What happened? He can't even explain the photo, except to say it was: "...the first thing that crossed my mind..." ...as though he's not even responsible for the thought. It just happened. [i]Please,[/i] what a joke. |

It looks like the supernova full of vagina's receiving their cherries for future fertilization, by me of coarse. I can see nipples as well. Nice hard ones!!![8D] |

Well, I didn't read through all of this thread, but here's why I love this piece.
This is the kind of piece that I can stare at for hours. It is interesting, and keeps my mind wondering about it. I don't get bored by it. Cincinnatus, most of your work that I have seen is like this to me. I would [b]love[/b] to see your studio. I love contours and textures. Your work is awesome, thanks for sharing. |

All attempts to kill the creatures failed. After evacuating the lab, the military was called in. By this time the creatures had doubled in size and intelligence. Repeated hits by HEAT rounds from M1A1's were shrugged off. F15E's were brought in with JDAM's and GBU-27's. The creatures were unharmed by the strikes. By this time, nuclear weapons were being considered, but since radiation had created the monsters in the first place, this was reconsidered. What will Man do about this horrendous new life form?

Quoted: If you were my painting instructor at UCSD (where I minored in Visual Arts), I'd be forced to write something like this: [b]Professor Cincinnatus' bold new mixed-media triptych explores the pressures that Borgeoise society imposes on women, youths, and people of color in order to further their conformist agenda and justify political oppression. The relative symmetry of the middle piece combined with its forced upright posture illustrate how the social and economic confinement of post-industrial Capitalism effectively squelches individuality, while the neutering influence of the side pieces amplify the demoralizing tension felt by desexualized youth. Subtle humor in the choice of textures and colors allows the casual viewer to enjoy the work without being overwhelmed by the obvious pathos of the piece. Cincinnatus has efficiently presented a poignant commentary on the cruel manner through which outdated institutions like marriage and life-long enslavement are perpetuated by our artificial "traditional" culture. In short, a Tour de Force sure to enlighten and inspire viewers for centuries to come.[/b] "I liked it, Oh yes, I thought that some of the metaphysical imagery was particularly effective, Oh, and err.. interesting rythmic devices which seemed to counterpoint the surrealism of the underlying metaphor of the Vogonity of the poets compassionate soul, which stresses through the verse structure to sublimate this, and transcend that, and come to terms with the fundamental dichotomies of the other. And one is left with a profound and visual insight into whatever the poem was about." -Arthur Dent |

All your ugly art are belong to you (Thankfully).
The "beans" look like something dog puked after eating who knows what, and the objects in the foreground look like some kind of pitiful spore that you would see under a microscope (they are ugly, that's why they are so little!). Keeps you off the street, I guess. |

Blah blah blah...this type of non-stop dribble makes me wish I never looked at art in the first place. But what can you do, I'm a hypocrite. Here's my take: To be honest, I like your work. I'm sure these digital renditions don't do the pieces justice, but what can you do? They show good use of materials, good texture, and great color. I like your compositions for the most part. I like the fact that they seem organic yet man made at the same time. I think its the shiny paint and metal that juxtapose the biological earthy gooey stuff so nicely. I wouldn't call it "abstract" because you are rendering objects. However aesthetics are about as deep as I can go into these pieces. They don't seem to have a message or humor, as you claimed. I think you painted these because you wanted to paint some cool looking things. I'm sick of people claiming this or that about their work when in fact they are just painting stuff they think looks good. I almost always despise non-representational art and abstract art, but you are at least rendering things so I think that’s why I like them.

Try not to take offense to someone who notices that you have poor or no taste in art. You are totally out of line making that statement. Do you think that you are the end all and say all of good art taste? And if you aren't who is? The editors of "Art Forum" magazine? Everyone that looks at a peice deserves to have their own opinion. This elitism and art education bullshit drives me crazy. People think they are so smart and they know what's up in the modern art world. In 100 years people will look back and laugh when they see art-dorks championed abstract expressionist and other bullshit art forms, and disrespected the fans of realism. And I will laugh in my grave. |
