Is art dead?

[BustinJustin]

Where are the Picassos, Van Goghs, Mc Eschers, Dahlis, Rembrandts of our time? Are we to absorbed to enjoy "new art". Have our computers enveloped our love of paint and canvas?

The last "good" painter/artist I seen/heard of is that Bisquet guy... isn't he dead anyway?

Can anyone introduce me to some "new art"?



(pls disregard my spelling errors, as I don't have tons of time at work to research...thx)

I had an urban geography course a few semesters ago and this topic came up once or twice (public art, actually). There isn't too much of a market...too many were concerned about un-offensive art, so to speak.

I dont think so, classic art will allways have its place.I left you a message on your cell.

our mother is a well respected conceptual artist here in London, but we doubt you'de like her work

we know that there is a professional artist here on TB, an excellent one at that, but we have temporarily forgotten his name.

Most artists aren't recognized until they are either really old or dead. Wait around a bit and then you'll start hearing about some artists.

or hear about US, NOW !

though we aren't really artists, we're just art students who make art.

Your screen does this no justice!

In person to see all the brush strokes above the flowers is just incredible!

where is this quality these days?
granted it's Van Gogh.... but you know what I mean...

That's the point man... we've been waiting since Pollock!

we find the futurists, art nouveau and other modernist movements spawned by cubism much more interesting and exciting than cubism itself.
we're not huge fans of modernism really, we much prefer post modernism.

what's your opinion on modernism ?

 

[godoze]

quick answer :no. this question has been asked countless times over the centuries.

our favourite artist today is Mark Ryden - www.markryden.com/

we find his oil paintings truly inspirational. they are elegant, refined to the point of perfection and cute with just the right amount of the macabre and slightly sinister <33

his cheery bunnies, rendered in the glowing hues of children's books, are more likely to be carving slabs of meat rather than frolicking in the forest. ryden's work mingles superb technique with outre images to create a world of strange and disturbing beauty.

There are plenty of contemporary artist making lots of art.
Check the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden or the east building of the National Gallery of Art.

Also don't forget that alot of the old masters we admire now weren't received very well in their own time.
