    It was given to me a painting, worth something like...

    Modern Art

    Yes, I think that humans should express themselves in many ways, to get off them, some feelings that needed to "get out". I know that there are all over the world "real" artists, that can make something outstanding, they deserve attention. But what you are telling, and correct me if I"m wrong, is that for example, the paintings that I was talking about, they can have a hidden meaning, and this makes them a great painting? It was given to me a painting, worth something like 200.000, and its all lines, like a "poligraph", with green and yellow, and one day, I said to my self - Today you are going to see past the paint - And after that, it didn"t made me feel emotions. Like songs, there are good songs, and bad songs.. A good song have few chances to be liked and apreciated by people. This should happen with paintings. What makes a good paint, if not its aspect? The message? A song is not good by is message only..

    So I think they are more concerned about the artist,...

    Modern Art

    First of all, I have to say sorry about my misundertanding about what you were saing. What I learn from life, is that we have to accept when we are wrong and say it. Well, you changed a little bit my point of view, so thank you. Still, imagine a child makes an abstract draw, and some famous artist says it was them who made it. Would that chance your opinion about the draw? Wouldn"t it make it worth more? Humans are very good at trying to deceive themselves.. So I think they are more concerned about the artist, other then the painting. I believe that most people, just because it"s a very famous artist, they deceive themselves to belive that the draw give them emotions. In the otherside, I believe that there are the "type" of paintings very well paintes, and with an amazing image itself, making no need to have a debate about if its good or bad, because it"s easy to see, no room for doubts. Again, I don"t have now such a negative point of view about that, but explain this to me.

    FIRST WAY TO WATCH: http://www.debate.org... or http://www.debate.org... SECOND WAY TO WATCH: FLIP UPSIDE DOWN click="document.location='/ESocialBookworm/photos/album/3722/24805/'" src="../../../photos/albums/1/4/3722/106131-3722-hmgvw-a.jpg" alt="" /> I had a sculpture for this round but unfortunately due to time restraints, I will be unable to finish it for this debate. Instead I leave this painting, Papa Bois. Papa Bois [1] or Dee Baba, is a Trinidadian folklore character. He is said to be the father of wood and protector of the forests. He has horns, hairy legs and a long beard. This surrealistic piece depicts the legend of him. The large tree symbolises his oneness with nature and a hammock [2] hangs from two branches. In the hammock is another little tree. This tree shows the protectiveness and love for nature Papa Bois had. The roots go deep down, showing how he was connected to his “roots” with nature. A face can also be seen: the hammock and branches as the lips and creases in the tree itself as eyes. A horn also hangs on the tree branch. -=0=- On the contrary, Papa Bois was also feared by woodsmen as he was the Protector of Nature. He would kill, harm or punish hunters who unfairly harmed innocent creatures and plant life forms. **FLIP THE PAINTING OVER** The red part, which is supposed to symbolize ‘soil,’ turns into eyes, forms a scary face. This is the angry-protective side of Papa Bois, which everyone fears. MEDIA: Acrylic paints & paper [1]- Papa Bois-http://t1.gstatic.com... [2]- Hammock- http://www.merriam-webster.com...
