Hell yeah. If you don't think the Space Shuttle is a hundred thousand million times cooler than the ****ing Mona Lisa you're an idiot and that's not an opinion it's a fact.

I am curious what makes me anti-Christian though. Care to cite?

That you'd request that a Catholic would endorse gay marriage in order for you to render assistance to his project?

I'm saying, as a convert myself, that it is difficult to truly appreciate Catholic art without being Catholic. That is not to say that someone who isn't Catholic cannot value it, but there is plenty of stuff there that non-Catholics just will not understand. That has been my experience with it both before and after.

And I was brought up Catholic so I am well enough versed in teachings of the church and its history.

But you've also chosen to walk away from it.

You know he did a lot of great paintings, right?

Not like the retinal art discussed in this thread.

Whut? Have you seen the queues at the Louvre?

No, of course you haven't. Keep those blinkers on.

I've been to Louvre once. The queue was only five people. But when I came out again, it was enormous. Luck. I was inside Louvre for hours, a great place. Only saw a fraction of what was there. Mona Lisa was tiny. It was a great day.

[N35t0r]

Mona Lisa is overhyped.

[Nikolai]

True. But there were loads of great art other than her.

[N35t0r]

Definitely. I skipped the whole Mona Lisa room when I was there, it was full of people.

i think I mentioned it above, but the Egyptian and ancient Greek sections were amazing, and when I was there there was an exibition of islamic art which was very interesting.

So instead of flying in a 737, maybe HC should go to Europe in a canvas and wood aircraft to educate himself on the origins of flight

Perhaps he should. I couldn't really give a f*ck.

[molly bloom]

Yup and going to a museum is the only way on earth to learn that!

Are you allergic to museums or art galleries ?

Perhaps it's just that you don't know an awful lot about art.

Having seen what passes for your dress sense, I would certainly diagnose the existence of some kind of visual agnosia, colour blindness, etc.


Seek help.

[molly bloom]

I like Surrealism in my paintings.

Giuseppe Arcimboldo not float your boat ?



How about Piero di Cosimo ?



Pontormo:



No to mention the likes of Bosch and Brueghel...

[molly bloom]

If I don't find it interesting, the opinion of a total imbecile on poly (here's looking at you molly bloom).

Ah, how sweet.

Dorothy Parker and horticulture.



Keep writing the love letters. I do so treasure each and every one.

Hilarious!!!!!

Constantin Brancusi's 'Bird In Space' :

Not like the retinal art discussed in this thread.

Which artist named Marcel Duchamp painted this 'retinal' art ?



Was it the same Marcel Duchamp who painted this one ?



Or this one ?




I'm fairly sure that possession of retinas would be required to see those paintings....

[Hauldren Collider]

THAT'S art? That's got to be one of the stupidest looking things I've ever seen. Enjoy your gold banana dildo thing.

Do you use a mirror every day ?

If so, that's REALLY saying something.

Enjoy your gold banana dildo thing.

I see you don't have much sexual experience. To be expected....
