Blue Elegy, 1981
by Robert Motherwell

[ buy this crap ] [ more Motherwell... ]

When Philistines, such as us, think that modern art is crap, this is the kind of diseased vomit we're usually thinking of. If a piece of art doesn't resemble anything and doesn't even look good as wallpaper or a curtain design - then it is just a mess. This is a mess on canvas. I produce better art when I pebbledash the inside of my toilet bowl every morning.

"What the fuck is an 'Elegy'?" I hear you say. I looked it up. An 'Elegy' is 'a reflective poem of lamentation or regret'. Here's my own Elegy...

An Elegy To Blue Elegy, 1981 by Robert Motherwell
When I first saw Blue Elegy 1981,
I didn't think it was much fun.
It looks retarded,
Not broken-hearted.
I could do better with my bum.

One time my maid's three-year old daughter painted on my studio's wall. It looked much better than this. Why? For one, it actually looked like something, like a person or an animal, at least something the eye recognizes. Two, she actually put effort into it.

The Faux Artist

Looks like the "fun bags" that twitched from RE4 Lol reanimators

Hammer
So, someone painted their bedroom blue and had some paint left on the brush so they cleaned it on the wall outside.

Yellowbunnies
It's the same blue as the polo shirts boys had to wear during Primary school D:
Ah~ memories =/

Penguin
i find this very visually interesting. there's more to it than one would think at first. you obviously just glance at this and write it down as shit.

Barry
This is a fecal masterpiece.

Sartori
Another serious lack of effort on the part of a modern artist. Just slap some paint on there, give it a title and sell.

Marty
Wow! A featureless blue monkey hanging from a branch sideways...

Indigobluefish
*sniggers*
My partner recons it looks like two dead penises.
How apt.
