Severals years ago I started seeing "Art saves lives" signs around my town in Oregon. My first thought was "I gotta meet this Art guy, he must really be special. Must be a doctor or fireman."
Ok, slam away.

do you listen to and enjoy music?
actually, for a large part i agree with your sentiment. just because the painter painted it, it doesn´t mean it´s amazing. i wandered through the tate modern a few months ago and there were a few brilliant pieces in a sea of what i thought was bullshit. i looked back through a few posts in this thread and from my own perspective the 1st page had a few good paintings in it but the last ones posted really do nothing for me. i´m more than a little tired of that whole "dark side" thing. i consider it little more than repetition. but that´s only my opinion. some of my faves are dali and warhol. and i´ll probably be considered a lightweight since i named 2 famous people. i´m not sure but i think this thread is only about painted art so i´ll keep it to that as there are a few photographers i do like as well. as we speak there is an oil portrait of myself being completed in ireland. i wonder if i´ll "get" it.
