I have a new life hero.
I'm not an art expert at all, so I just found out about Cy Twombly. He lived from 1928 through 2011 and his work is apparently highly coveted.
Wikipedia described his style as follows, and I think they're accurate: "Twombly soon developed a technique of gestural drawing that was characterized by thin white lines on a dark canvas that appear to be scratched onto the surface." This piece of his ("Untitled") sold in 2015 for $70.5 million. https://static.independent.co.uk/s3f...ombly.jpg?w968 Here are some other example of his work: https://artinvictoria.files.wordpres...ytwombley3.jpg https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/i...BPX6sjO5GhR8LA I work hard. I try to succeed. But man, this guy had it down. No one has ever been as successful at conquering life as Cy Twombly. He figured out how to make a living doing this. Nothing that anyone else can ever do is going to impress me as much as that. https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3689/1...79d3c725_b.jpg |
$70.5 million, huh? My toddler does very similar work. I'll sell you a canvas for half that.

Did he sell any of his shit while he was still alive?
I know Jackson Pollock stuff sells at a mint and all he did was splatter paint all over the canvas willy-nilly, but I don't think he ever saw a dime when he was alive. |
Modern art is often more about the story and background these days than the actual execution.
See: Basquiat. |
Holy shit!!! I have a couple of my 9 year old granddaughters 'art' pieces on my fridge door.
I'M RICH BITCHES |

As an Art History major focusing on Italian Renaissance and since I just saw the Sistine Chapel for the first time last Sunday, I truly appreciate the standard of excellence in this thread mentioned twice now.

Again, my toddler can make you something similar for half the cost. He'll use five colors, too. AND he'll be able to name them all and count them, too.

People can make fun of modern art but in my opinion it's performance art that truly is the biggest clown show.
Have fun with this guy: https://www.instagram.com/janerichsen/?hl=en On second thought this dude kind of rules |
