I still prefer the Met over Moma though being a massive fan of Rene Magritte I obviously have to hit MOMA occasionally. Debating as I’m bringing my sister for the first time next month for 4-5 days. Whereas I lived there I have to managed her tastes and preferences along with her desire to see how I/we lived in NYC*. Moma may be more accessible than the Met for a kid but man the Met has so much fainting stuff in it. Too bad I can’t show her the old graffiti art by the dude who died of aids in the 80s. Hard rock lifted his work for designs way back. Want to say his name was Keith Harding but forgot since seeing an exhibit at the museum in Golden Gate Park SF a few years back. That would be cool. If it were my son we’d do the subway run from the Warriors but I don’t think my fighter would appreciate that other than she’d be perfect in the bad a** sneaky killer chick gang downtown (or around flatiron? Been about 7-9yrs since I last watched that classic)Kismet wrote: ↑Fri Jan 19, 2024 4:34 pmActually, I don't find his oversight weird at all.tech37 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 19, 2024 4:18 pmMan, you are Fing ridiculous at times. Who is "We" as in "We misinterpreted"? I was conversing with Kismet, why on earth get involved? Kismet was doing fine without your weird oversight.a fan wrote: ↑Fri Jan 19, 2024 3:54 pmRight. We misinterpreted what you meant when you called a poster "out of his league".
GTFO. Your nonstop "that's not what I meant" is just tiring.
Try this: I think you're out of your league here. Lets play your stupid, pointless game: am I serious? Am I kidding? Am I being "sarcastic"?
"That's not what I meant". Right. Sure it isn't.
And why read my posts if you don't like them, think they're pointless, or can't follow? Make some sense a fan.
As for Hunter Biden, I have never seen any of his work and have no idea if he's an artist at all.
As long as we are on MOMA and fine art - next time you are in NYC check out Van Gogh's The Starry Night - after seeing it I was blown away what the man captured on canvas a painting. At first, thought the visual effect was the lighting but the more I looked the more transformational it appeared to be. Now THAT'S Fine Art to me. Apologies to Milton Glaser and the I love NY logo.
BTW - for the record my comment initially regarding ILLUSTRATION vs FINE ART was - "Even his originals MIGHT be considered true art." which isn't how you subsequently characterized IMHO.
Gets tiring and redundant after a while but to see classics there’s nothing like a multi month backpacking trip around Europe. I still found that macabre religious art from the Belgians and west Germans you could find in some Benelux country museums to be cool.
* (NYC trip -though she doesn’t like steak or rice pudding so I’m f**ked with regard to taking her to Lugers and Rice to riches as I’d hoped. She just blew up an expensive dinner at a joint here run by this tv chef Kevin Rathbun because I insisted she try some cranes spinach which turned into a screaming match in public between my wife and 9yr old daughter as my son and I were trying to enjoy our surprisingly fatty dry aged porterhouse for two)
