Hello :)

[Phaedra]

The funny thing about all this is that I never claimed to like Cy Twombly...

Jesus of Fucking Christland. Calm down.

I wasn't pretending to be offended. I'm not particularly interested in debating this with you, that's all.

Okay, I will remove art and art history from the list of things you are willing to discuss. Who isn't calm, anyway?

Am I speaking a different language or something or do I really come off that bad?

LOL FUNNY SHIT

You come across as a miserable bitch with a pole up her anus

Welcome to atheist forums, Phaedra.

You obviously misunderstand your own damn definition of White Knight which you sent me. Because according to your links that's not what it is.

Uh-huh. Examples are just examples, sweet-ums.

Phaedra, no one said you did. We were saying he sucks. What the hell just happened?

Just because I would never cater to your sausage speak does not mean I am a miserable bitch. It means I have taste.

That's a fairly big leap to make.

Oh, for pity's sake. I disagreed with your assessment that Cinjin's dislike of Cy Twombly meant he was ignorant of art and art history. It was by no means personal. I am by no means upset or angry. I was simply coming into the new girl thread to strike up a conversation as the only thing worth replying to, apart from your op, had just popped up. If you're going to get butthurt about it, I'll leave it alone. In all honesty, I thought it would make a good conversation, considering conversations are much better when they aren't all "I agree. Fucking kumbayah."

Shell you've totally killed the mood.

Forum Miscommunication Error.

I don't really care whether you like Cy Twombly or not. I was just pointing out that what constitutes art is subjective. Maybe he is a charlatan. Or maybe he's a genius. What a lot of people fail to understand about much of modern art is that the process of creating the art, the materials used, the meaning of the piece, etc are or can be just as important as the finished product. That doesn't mean you have to like the finished piece, but having an understanding of why the artist did what they did helps one to appreciate the art.
