Close friends of yours? Descendants?

Rodin forced people to look on the inside of a person rather than the outward grandeur so associated with dress and stature. I guess that could be considered perverted for a superficial person. Eventually people accepted it for what it truly was intended to be. One step is all it ever takes. Unfortunately, the one performing it normally suffers personally for the change. If that's idealism I'll rest comfortably under it's thumb vs. your tongue.

Yes, you're right. Art can be everything you described it to be; however, not because of an artist's proclamation but an audience's concession. Sh*it on canvas is art according to the artist; however, without one ever person agreeing or one museum displaying it's not ever anything more than sh*it on a canvas, much less Art.

God help the kid that has to deal with having that name throughout highschool

omg.

I'm sorry, where are my manners?

Welcome.

perverts, the lot of them, I tell you.


I like what you wrote. But I wonder what Knowwon had in mind. What does Knowwon think is under that cloak?

Therapist shows a patient an inkblot and asks him to say what he sees in it.
"Two men having wild sex inside a black tent," the patient says. "And you are a sick sick sick pervert for showing me pictures like this."

Knowthing?

me thinks s/he might've been just a bit facetious (intentionally) to emphasize, in her/his opinion, my excessive/unwarranted/ridiculous idealism?

i probably didn't word that right; this time of night; beer and all

after the second edit it seems i still can't say this right

Well, you know what they say- 'takes one to knowwon'...

Boom-boom.

Why cant I PM you?


So art is defined by the institution of a museum? Anything outside of the gallery is not art? How many people need to consent for something to be considered art, is there a finite number? Can it be anybody, or only certain people can declare other peoples work art?

knowwon can because i'm emotionally brittle and become too involved with people and that drains me and makes me too sad. i must admit to having the best time with your name.




no. no. one; no. yes;no.

do you have art? can i see?

Yes I have art. I can show it do you at a later time, when I get a chance.

If you enable your PM I will tell you the uncensored version what he is doing in there and why he is doing it.

when you get a chance? do you not have a site/photo bucket/image shack/something? i'd like to see an example of your style and influences. the latter being the most important.

i would say let's push the envelope here. J did say we could discuss what may be a controversial piece of art without the image. but...you're on.

FYI a well know contemporary "artist" has already done this. Another one of his pieces consists entirely of his pubic hairs

why do you think i used it as an example? if a child crayons all over the parlor wall, or paints the furniture, is he praised for art or disciplined for rebellious childishness? it all depends on parental reaction.

wth are you doing? writing a novel? preparing a dissertation? i already know what you're going to say, btw. it would've just been fun to see how you were going to say it and disagree under the guise of intellectual conversation.

I suspect knowwon understood what you meant.

As for me, your eloquence leaves me as always groping for words. I will simply smile at you and be glad to know you.
