Art, fashion, music, film: each one tied to the next like a string of pearls.

no offence...
but I am so sick and tired of pseudo-intellectuals who utilize brain energy to go off on a artistic voyage of theories, critiques and wordy extrapolations...
when all this time and energy could be used to help the less fortunate, search for the cure to terrible diseases, aleviate the pain of the suffering and end all wars....
Art is useless and is only amusing to the Bourgeoisie.
/sarcasm ???? no? If not, kinda sad, art in all forms is very important. Creativity is a necessary part of all forms of intelligence. This forum wouldnt exist without the appreciation of art, form and function. Are these timepieces we lust after on here not a form of art created by an artist?

Ya know something, you're right. If I was suffering, I wouldn't care about art either.Are you suffereing now? Is that why art is useless to you? Can I send you some food. You KNOW I'm not going to eat mine. I truly care about you. See this look on my face? This is caring, even though Botox makes my apathy face all I can show.
My position has and will remain conscientious shallowness.

OK Sweetie,Ya know something, you're right. If I was suffering, I wouldn't care about art either.Are you suffereing now? Is that why art is useless to you? Can I send you some food.

I need to know: what prompted you to write all this stuff about Art??
Bored?
I, too, have destroyed a man's dreams and ambitions. His soul is one of my favorites in my 1998-2000 collection.
The fact that I love art notwithstanding, this post actually happens to assess a few bags from Louis Vuitton's latest line which involved designs by Richard Prince. Many of their recent collections have involved some of the biggest names in the contemporary art scene, like the late Stephen Sprouse and Takashi Murakami, who I did a post on as well.
I don't think you can really discuss any of these bags without discussing why they even exist. As I said in the post, I'm a big proponent of knowing the reason behind why a product exists: its history; its ties to the brand; its ties to the client, if any. Some people, like I mentioned in the post, mindlessly consume and that's bad--for the consumer but not usually for the companies. The whole point behind replicas, I think, is to be smarter and more savvy with your money. But I know there are some people who typically think that since the items are less expensive than genuine they should just go hog wild and buy anything and everything. I think that's a not only stupid but fiscally irresponsible. My posts are not for the stupid or fiscally irresponsible. I like that I can offer both consumer info and just general information as well; people will walk away with SOMETHING from posts.
When I wrote this post, I wasn't bored. What people may or may not realize, is that when I do these posts, I do them for the benefit of not only all the members but I also for myself because I gain extra knowledge from doing them as well; just when I thought I knew it all too. Believe me, my time is NOT wasted.

you have alot of opinions and alot to say but sadly, i have four kids at home, my wife is at work right now and it is bedtime for two of them.
I 'm affraid I just dont have as much free time as you do to carry on with Art discussions and analysis. I'm glad that you can actually go on like this....
Me, after the kids, gotta mark some papers and i might get one or two quick posts in but that's it.
Cara out.
By which you mean "Prepare to be offended, because I'm going to call you names".
So, you want to work the poor clever people to death in your cancer-curing mines?
Art advances us as a species. Art stops wars. Art eases suffering.
Get off this forum, go to University, get a PhD in cancer-curing and put your money where your mouth is.
Actually Pug...
I did go to university....three times, in fact...
1-Once to get my Bachelors of Fine Arts (two majorsi n drawing and painting)
2-Another time for my B. ED. (Specialty in French and Art: high School).
3-Lastly, for my Masters of Education (in Curricular Policies)
Not once did I suggest I had the cure to cancer...what I alluded to was that people who amuse themselves with conjectures and grand allures of philosophical debates about art or what it means etc,etc....seem to be a misuse of great intelligence when, as a global citizen of this earth, I see people empoverished all over the world, war killing many innocent people, acts of brutal terrorism, millions of people stricken with disease (not just cancer,by the way)....
Also, I disagree, art does not end wars or cure illnesses or advance civilisation.... as you certainly know youself, many instances in the past showed that art was a tool for war or a subsidiary reason for warring....
art is an overrated human occurance...
"Art feels like a tall long mirror wrapping humans around and shielding them with aesthetics and illusions of grandeur but , in reality, it is merely a selfish vehicle for the human ego, and even when man looks at himself and attempts to capture all that is him and around him and puts his one-way thinking imprint on it: Art."
Alain Breton
Okay, why study art if you hate it so much? Why is that? Can you explain that to me? THEN I can address the rest of this . . . viewpoint.

How'd that work out for you?
Oh, you learned enough to tell people cleverer than you to get off their high horse while riding a donkey you wish was taller. Whoop. Throw a parade.
Those who can do do, those who fail[1] ... yeah, you know the rest.
[1] Usually, I have nothing but respect for teachers; it's the hardest job in the world, but sometimes even teachers, firemen and ER docs can be dicks. It's what happens when you hire humans.
