Overrated Artists Thread

[cheerfulgreek]

I don’t know a lot about artists, but I just saw the “Joan Miro” art pics. Phrozen Sands, if that guy (who I thought was a woman when I read PB’s post) is who you are talking about, yes! I agree with you! My kids art is better than his. I’m like.. are you serious?! How? Just how is he famous? I don’t get it. I just don’t get it. He’s like the Taylor Swift of visual art, lol. And then there’s those artists art I’ve seen where they just fling and splatter paint all over the place, and then it gets placed inside a prestigious art museum. Really?

That’s it, PB. It was Joan Miro. Like CG, I thought he was a she until I started reading the material with his art, a.k.a. bullshit. When I walked up on his art, I told my girl, this is some bullshit right here. How’d this dude get in here? My girl thought it was cute until she learned he was an adult and not a child. Then she said, this is some bullshit.

Look at this. Wtf? Lol

I actually like some of Miro’s work. And “Joan” is pronounced — “Jjuaan”. And Jackson Pollock (the artist CG is referring to) I love his work. I’m looking at their color choices. Also, Pollock’s style is done in a controlled manner. His color choices are spectacular. I also think the environment in how their work is displayed plays a large role in how their work comes off. But art and design are subjective.

But when it comes to auto design, that’s a whole nother ballgame, to me. Clearly, there is a level of subjectivity with that too, when it comes to a buyer’s appreciation of design. However, a professional designer knows that the core of a compelling design is getting the fundamentals right — such as volumes, proportions, stance, how the car sits on its wheels, its overall length relative to its height and width, its wheel to body relationship, etc. Dick Teague had those fundamentals all jacked up. 😂

Lmao! For real, dude? PB, years back, you showed GC some of your student work and it was phenomenal. Hard for me to believe an artist like you would be impressed with some bullshit like Joan Miro. I looked up the Pollock dude too. His stuff is just as bad as the other dude’s.

Keith Haring - always thought he was overrated.

I just looked him up. Dude blows. Some of these visual artists aren’t artists at all. How they got recognized as being “great” blows my mind.

Thanks, Phroze. That’s why it’s all subjective.
