buy this crap ]      [ more Rothko... ]

Let me present to you Mark Rothko, the laziest mofo to ever enter the art world. Not only can he only manage to use about 2 or 3 colours in his pictures...not only can he not be bothered to actually paint anything other than squares...but he also can't be bothered to name his pieces either!

Apparently he committed suicide by slashing his wrists in his studio. What a dick! This man had the easy life! One problem when finding his body was that he bled over a piece of canvas so his art friends weren't sure whether it was spilt blood on a piece of canvas or actually a piece of art.

The Faux Artist
Is modern art crap? FauxArtist.co.uk ... Follow the experiment!!

Vtwin
Untitled because there's nothing there,
childish pish!

Johnny Automatic
simpleton, you judge a nuanced detailed painting based on a poor reproduction. Until you see a Rothko in person in a properly lit space you will not understand what the artist is doing. Here's a hint - it's not representational you small minded twit

jf
I've got a title for it....crap

lwr
looks like it's gonna rain

onanismo
it's ugly.

What an ungentlemanly and cowardly person you are to insult a man for the way he committed suicide when you no nothing of his circumstance.

Sam
Poohsticks! I've got better wall paper than that!

Annie
Did he truly believe he was producing good art?

And modern art subscriber fucks, it is not we, those who desire to burn this shit, that are the philistines. No, I for one believe that there was enough beautiful art created before the 20th century to go an gush over. Givern freen reign, if this is what 20th century art is going to look like, these artists should get a heaircut and a real job and wake the fuck up. go get a medical degree of run of local government. AND JUST STOP PAINTING.

Clearly the 'artist' drew every last scrap of inspiration for this 'work' from the title itself.

phoe
it looks like a very dark pieve of toast, half buttered

FLynn
Oh, and another thing. It's very likely these modern art sympathizers are also relativists who swim around on feathered clouds saying everyone is beautiful and lovely. Why - just look at Mr. Ted Bundy what a sweet charming man. Hey, here's one - you can call yourself a Doctor all you want but at the end of the day, are your patients walking the streets or are they bleeding on the table in a mangled carnage of flesh because you thought you were clever with a scalpel?

FLynn
cont'd... Are you self medicated, and do you believe everything they tell you in college? Honey, if that bed sheet is so darn beautiful to you, then paint that beautiful bedsheet to look like a bedsheet in all it's wonderous glory and capture the colors that the white reflects in the light and shade. But don't wipe your butt on the bed sheet, put it in a frame, call it art and propagate that message. I wish I could go on but unfortunately I have to get back to work in my REAL JOB.

FLynn
cont'd... And to all these people who defend this crap, like Susan who says, "'I've seen this up close and it's actually very beautiful. ...A plain, white sheet is lovely in it's own way, ..." HAH!!! I laugh at you.

FLynn
cont'd... Yeah, I took the art history classes too and I don't care how many pretentious arrogant delusional instructors tell me that it's brilliant and revolutionary - I still know it's crap. I guarantee that if you were to put this crap in front of one of the masters, say Rembrandt, he would either laugh or cry and it wouldn't be from joy or awe.
