Re: Was Mona Lisa a Man ?
Haha I suppose everyone’s had their share of Diwana at some point. I know, that is exactly what I plan on doing.
Bru, the painting is worth over a 100 million dollars because someone finds it worth that money. Art doesn’t get priced based on the cost price of its raw materials, the man hours invested in its creation and then a percentage mark up applied to it. Its not a commodity in that sense. Everything is relative. Why is gold expensive? Surely its not the most useful element is it? Its relativity and scarcity that combines. Each work of art is rare and someone out there feels it speak to them.
You’re either awfully slow or pretend to be. If someone spends their money on a work of art, they’re stupid, brainless and ludicrous? A question to your statement might not be the cleverest thing I’ve done because it will only make you respond to me, ugh. But they appreciate something you will never ever will. And there’s nothing wrong with you. But when you hate on it, that’s when you lose any dignity in an argument.
Its worth so much because as I already said, someone is willing to pay that much. I have never said the Mona Lisa should be expensive. I called it a revolutionary painting in its techniques. RedVelvet threw down a great post with the individual characteristics that make it so great.
Shame on them? Why? It is their money. And it is most definitely not garbage. I can understand why you’ll never understand this. You don’t think its worth that much but someone most definitely does. Why should they spend money saving people from living painful lives? What says they don’t already? You judge them but you don’t even know them. As Princess has said, you can stop posting online because you’re better off doing community service. I hope you get the point.
That’s the beauty of abstract. It is absurd to you and maybe the most beautiful thing in the world to another. Thank you for your expression, now you know.
P.S. And I don’t blame you at all. I feel sorry for you. You’re entitled to your opinion but I implore you to expand your horizons. No one is forcing you to like it for the sake of liking it. We’re talking about specifics and yet you refused to get the message. Nevermind though. Its sad, for there is so much beauty in this world and yet you’ll go through your life missing the point and oblivious to it. That my friend is truly tragic.
I am sorry to even engage in discussion with you. Utter waste of time.
Keep your love with absurd pieces of canvas covered by colors. More power to you.
Those who spend millions on small piece of canvas sure have a right to do so, then that does not mean their act is not shameful and pathetic for others.
The abstract art lover would find beauty in anything if it is for sale for over certain price my dear. Higher the price more they would drool over and praise longer. Shows how gullible these people are.
