    I have to say although I love Banksy's graffiti, this I was not into. it just feels like an attempt for Simpsons to be "current" and in touch with today's issues. I don't really know what he was trying to tell us with this intro -- that child labour is bad? -- okay yeah we get that.

    Banksy is your hero? The man is a third rate publicity whore whose only claim to fame is that nobody has ever seen him spread his butt cheeks for papa-razzi (see what I did there?).

    Not my bag graffiti. I think an artist should refrain from defacing public buildings and stick with his canvas. But I'm a traditionalist.

    That's what makes him and his art unique and funky. bunny

    Art is of course a subjective thing - it's perfectly fine to have divulgent tastes. What is interesting however is how you seem to prefer, en masse, the mass produced propoganda of corporate greed to the free expression of a graffiti artist. Certainly you may not like the art of a graffiti artist, but can you really say that you prefer public walls to be spotlessly free of the spontaneous and sometimes exhilarating creation of your fellow man? What canvas, I ask, is more apt for the artist than one which is not hidden behind extortionate gallery doors but is forever in the public eye and always ready for scrutiny?

    I don't mind being assailed. I welcome invective. Because I have a fondness for laying down my academic robe, outfitting myself in sparring gloves and baring my hairy chest. All good fun. But I can't bear hit-and-runners who seize on a single line, a single quote out of a much longer thesis and make off with it at the speed of a runaway steam locomotive. Just ain't cool. If you wanna go toe to toe with the Bison, man up like my buddy Z10, climb gallantly into the ring and give me an argument to grapple with. As matters now stand, having nothing to contend with, I can only rain down vituperation. We've had too much of that already. I don't enjoy pounding kids senselessly.


    I don't care.

    True enough, beauty is an elusive concept. Trying to distill it into its constituent parts is a futile endeavour like counting the grains of sand on a beach. But in a world governed by a host of arbitrary laws a set of universal standards must be maintained. Consider that if a skirt-chasing young gallant loses himself in the curves of some pretty ankles one minute before the hour of her sixteenth birthday he's railroaded out of town as a depraved child molester and to prison he shall go. But if he tumbles her on the bed a minute after the clock strikes midnight the law is perfectly cool with that. What has changed in sixty seconds? Arbitrary laws.

    The same principle holds true for art.


    You’re talking bollocks mate. Dull, grey, stuffy, prudish, traditionalist nonsense, and I can’t decide if it suits you or not. I don’t think I’ve ever run across anyone of your obvious astuteness and (apparently) a love of art talking about the importance of rules and boundaries to the medium. What in the blueberry fuckmuffin were you thinking when you typed this? I can’t tell you how disappointed I am in you.

    Quote from: Mount A Bison on October 16, 2010, 08:30 AM
    Do you think Vincent van Vogh would have been impressed with this little chit?


    I think he’d love it. He is one of the founding fathers of modern art, mixed media and Expressionism. I think he'd applaud renegade art and relish the deeper, essential truths that artists like Banksy reveal - the relevance, symbolism, satire, and scathing cultural and political commentary, if not the the aesthetic value.

    "Do not quench your inspiration and your imagination. Do not become the slave of your model."
    ~ Vincent van Gogh

    If Van Gogh was alive today and had to sit and listen to you arty-farty fuckers in the conservative camp, talking about the merits of a rigid aproach to art and lamenting the declining standard, he'd shoot himself again.

    A canon is decided by a group of people.

    Now you may dismiss the canon and the people. But to say there is only one way is ludicrous. Or that you decide it's the best way is as ludicrous.

    Cultural elitism. You're probably one of the people that contends video-games can never be art. Or rap music. Or Polish death metal. OK maybe not the last one but the rest of my argument stands. On the shoulder-pads of giant douchebags.
