The greatest artistic endeavour

There are alot of arty people here. People into nice
photography, painting, sculpture, graffiti, music!

I was kinda woundering if there was something people thought
was a truley outstanding artistic masterpiece. Kind of like
a deffinitive piece of art. Not a song that you think is
cool but something you feel is a real result of artist
endeavour. I mean it can be a song but saying "its funky and
the bass goes WAMPA WAMPA" doesn't scream art to me (im not
knocking it of course).

If anyone remebers, that giant silo-phone thing stands out
in my mind. I guess i am talking about something timeless
rather than just the ebst example of a passing trend. I
dunno you lot are the arty ones.

The fresco's from Giotto Di Bondone in Florence, in the
church in Padua (Northern-Italy) around 1306. First
endeavors of depth, leading into the renaissance.

I don't think there is one. Especially since everything is
so fragmented and subjective these days. I don't even have a
preference as an individual.
I think Jeff Koons sort of somes up contempory capitalist
culture though. He's sort of like the heir to Warhol.

I guess because everything I've ever seen, heard or read is
just like something else but I can barely connect this to
anything, it reminds me of nothing and I don't know where it
came from.

All the genius minds that arranged notes into great
symphonies or words into great plays...etc; those minds all
write software now, make advances in science...etc.

There'll never be another Bach or Shakespeare...or at least
in my lifetime...but there'll be great advances in
technology, though.

Duchamp's "Fountain"

Damien Hirst's "The Physical Impossibility Of Death In th...

Matthew Barney's "Cremaster Cycle"

I would say these works were seminal in their advancement of
contemporary art at the time of their introduction. Though
there are plenty more out there too..

No, I think all those 80's guys they ripped off like Bruce
Nauman and Jeff Koons were the first.

Don't forget Haim Steimbach either.

(Though I typically avoid name dropping him, even Warhol
might have predated these guys in addressing commodity and
popular culture conceptually.)

as if putting a shark in a tank is as much an endevaour as
going as far as attending autopsies to get a better
understanding of the human body as well as studying models
all day everyday in your workshop and then setting about
before sunrise everyday to paint a compositional masterpiece
such as the last supper on a wall.

Yeah, but Damien Hirst is modern, modern, modern.

I uploaded half of my JPEG art collection for you guys.

though some pictures are poorly compressed, some arent.

there's contemporary artists, sculptors, painters from the
1900's and concept artists in there. 1,327 pictures. 240mb

modern art is over rated. It's so easy to like modern art
because modern is too easy. Don't get me wrong there are
plenty of modern artist i admire but i still think modern
art is art for the tune in cop out generation. 22 and i
already sound like an old man. but regardless theres a lack
of Lifetime works, you know seminal pieces that werent made
befor ethe age of 20, i am not saying thats what counts as
true artist endeavour but to me its a real interesting
thing.

modern art seems to be self perpetuating. Modern art strives
to be modern and then more so just because its modern art.
There seems a real lack of heart and soul instead theres
crass consumerist commentaries or social observations.
Social observation should be left to comedians i think art
has a higher purpose. Thats prolly quite elitist but to me
art is something truely special. Its aglimpse at teh
infinite from within the finite and its also a universal
whilst still being completly subjective. art is the the
antithesis of everything else, eternity and nothingness
bound by a short glimpse! sorry i start talking all flowery
when i get into my love of art!
btw i would like to add cervantes - Don Quioxte to my list
of seminal masterpieces!

Maybe there are great artists out there living in total
obscurity, disgusted by the art market, that no one will
care about until after they die. Posterity is a harsh
mistress.

i think this is why i like stuff like this. It's
kinda art for arts sake, none of this social comment just
good art because of enjoying art! no money making involved
no real message to blurt at people just doing art because
art is what it is! love it!

You should know as a philosophy student that all images have
some sort of message or feeling they "blurt" out.
And money is the backdrop to everything. If an artist makes
no money, that's still money there, in the background
running everything.

I think it might be worth it to some of you to read the book
"Kant after Duchamp"

there's a distinction between art as expression and
Art as Cultural product/apparatus.
