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. |

I would say Samuel Beckett's Krapp's last tape comes pretty close to perfection. |

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. |
||||||||
|

|

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.. |

True. But they surely weren't the first (or the last). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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. We have lower expectations now. You have to specialise. |
||||||||
|

dont get me wrong, i find his stuff interesting... just surely not the greatest.. at least he doesnt appear to be that dedicated. |

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