What kind of art do you like?

[Dis]

By art I want to include things that most elite classes consider artsy. Operas, artwork and such.

I find I don't like a lot of art or what people consider art.

Paintings are a big one for me. Although I do like landscapes. I've always felt a connection to the earth- so perhaps that is the reason. abstract art and manmade buildings don't interest me. Naked women are OK- but too many of them are uggos. I prefer porn for that purpose. and naked men don't do anything for me. Sorry Michelangelo's David

Modern Art- even worse than the old stuff. Nothing in the 20th century interests me. It seems like anybody can be an artists now days.

Operas- can't get into them. I'm not sure how they appeal to people

Poetry- I tried to get into this when I was in high school. It was something required of my schooling to read lots of this stuff. A couple of poets were almost decent, but it still didn't do it for me. Perhaps it was the subject matter that is outdated and the outdated language. I do enjoy song lyrics though

musicals- crap. Even ones with music I can stand are not very good

Shakespeare- he was almost cool. Julius Ceasar and Romeo and Juliet were almost bearable. That style of English writing just does not appeal to me that much.

Philosophy- this one interests me more. Perhaps the type of old-time art I can most enjoy

dance- dance is kind of cool. It usually doesn't hold my interest for more than 10 minutes though. Things like riverdance and other dances are decent.

elephant dung thrown on a picture of the Virgin Mary - not art, I don't care what you people say.

I do enjoy quite a bit of classical music though. that is something that remains timeless. You don't have to worry about outdated themes and english language. Music is timeless.


Music- I love music to death. perhaps the only artform I can truelly enjoy

filmaking- another modern artform I can enjoy. I have seen some truelly great films

Re: What kind of art do you like?

Modern Art- depends a lot

Operas- not generally, but I like at least some of them

Poetry- definately like it

musicals- crap. I agree - crap

Shakespeare- I´m interested, but didn´t read much from him so far

Philosophy- I even thought of studying it, but in history and politics I have "contact" too.

dance- hmm.

Music- I hear mostly classical now (but not operas), but I also enjoy good rock or pop, techno I hate, rap I sometimes find interesting

filmaking- I admit I like the usual Hollywood stuff - mainly for relaxing/entertainment, for deep thoughts I prefer reading books

Musicals :
Opera : depends, I can usally handle it on FFW

Modern Art - pathetic.

Operas, Dance, Music, Poetry, Films, etc - Never bothered with any of them.

Philosophy is good, when I have the mood for it.

I'm a big fan of 3dArt, mainly those creations that try to look as close as possible to reality(in respect to the quality of the picture, not it's content).

Doesn´t that fall under modern art too?

I also like 3d gfx.

I like Rococo and Baroque-style art from the West. Basically "old skool" style art. I hate Dada-ism as well as that other kind of art....i think the artist's name was Marchand or something...the one where he turned a urinal upside down and put his name on it, then called it "art". I don't consider anything like this art....I call it---->puke.

For the East, I generally like all of it. I consider calligraphy art so I include it when I consider Eastern art. Japanese and Chinese styles sort of mirror each other. My friend called it "rice paper" art. *shrug* For some reason, I also consider kanji art.

I agree that "Modern Art" is crap, worthless junk. Like I said before, I could crap in a bag and put it on display and label it "art".

Music-wise-it doesn't really matter so long as it is rich. Lots of horns; instruments all coalescing together to make music. I don't like death-metal and hate-rock. I understand different ppl have different taste in music so I leave it alone for the most part, EXCEPT the "packaged" music pushed out by big music companies to make a buck...i.e. Britney & BSB.

Musicals- I hated them as a kid and I hate them now. Whomever thought of the "musical" should be stripped naked put on display.

Poetry-Don't like it, but don't hate it. There's some out there that I love and others I hate. Basically, I think it's good.


My favorite thing that I like that even my close friends don't know is that I'm BIG on environmental landscaping. Things like Bonsai and rock gardens are something that I really enjoy. I'm looking into purchasing a Bonsai tree so I can make something out of it...but have yet to find it. But I can't stand industrial art.

Men dancing around on stage wearing clothes that hug their balls for the world to see?

I'll pass on that.

I heard that there was one display somewhere where they put a rotting pig head in a glass case filled with flies and called it art.

People like this make me sick. I just want to punch them in the face.

What about litterature in the form of novels? It is the art which had the greatest long term influence on me, and classical music is the one which generates the strongest instant effects. Those two do not leave a lot of room to all others.

What is the difference between musicals and opera? I'm certain it's not simply a question of age or quality.

[Frankychan]

I always thought that musicals were considered the b******-child of the fine arts, such as opera.

[Zkribbler]

Paintings - Italian renaissance Impressionism, Picasso But modern art

Music - classical Classical, such as Beethoven and Mendelsohn. Even Chopin is to ultramodern for me. And oh yeah, also classic rock & roll--doo wap, stuff like that.

Operas, poetry, musicals
