For me, art has been on a decline since the classical period. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a stained shirt somewhere on display as art.

You have the invention of the camera to blame for that.

Anyway...if there is an art subforum I'd be interested in posting there. I haven't taken pics of my most recent work, but I'll see what I can do.

I have a similar peice of artwork that I haven't put on display yet, called "Tea Bag", forum rules prevent me from posting pics. It's my Opus.

Yeah, it's not a well-known film. It has John Malcovich, Steve Buschemi, Angelica Houston, and some other peeps in it. It's about the bullshit that passes for art in art school.

I've seen an exhibition of dirty nappies.

I happen to like Cy Twombly's stuff. I trained to be an atrist. Photo realism is mostly unthinking. To me: Art isn't about the skills, but about communicating emotion.

Problem is you get fucking idiots for art critics who will intellectualize beyond reality and the other idiots with money suck it up and pay them. Yeah there are idiots who play the system.
