If you do not understand why a painter paints you will not understand why this painting exists.

So in that sense, yes, this painting could be usefull.

Let alone painting, acrylics or oil, or this post or this blog or art in any way? <BR/><BR/>Acrylics may be synthetic and plastic-y but in the right hands they just look great. Because a painting was made in acrylic instead of oil - that may have conceptual weight in certain paintings but not in others. More and more often, people can't tell the difference. It's just a newer option for painters. Why should there be rules? Sometimes people put pants in paintings. Sometimes they put poo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-1139295649253492852006-02-07T02:00:00.000-05:002006-02-07T02:00:00.000-05:00hey man, dont infantilize me, I'm real, unlike you...hey man, dont infantilize me, I'm real, unlike you.

What's needed for effective dialogue here, or anywhere, is an assertion backed up by reason - not a jumble of disputable terms "[thrown] together to make a statement."<BR/><BR/>Big words: "recontextualizing and shifting a given meaning of a picture when representing it within the dialogue of art making." This is nonsense, and I'll presume that if you reread it slowly, word by word, you'll understand that I mean nonsense in the most literal way. So far you're doing a standup job of term-dropping, though.<BR/><BR/>Okay, you say, "acrylic is plastic so it has an inherent synthetic quality that easily lends itself towards making a more direct statement about consumer and advertising culture." So? Acrylic equals plastic equals synthetic which lends itself to a direct statement? What does the acrylic whisper to you about consumer and advertising culture, exactly? To me it says, "I'm an inert chemical substance. You see."<BR/><BR/>You're having such a hard time making meaning with words, how is anyone supposed to understand, "making meaning with materials"?
