I agree with Peter's words - so often I see something that seems like art and isn't - yet of course it IS.Right - ...n the eye of the beholder indeed.Jillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059152467099868300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578502161069698346.post-85983123919541213042009-10-26T02:45:43.233+01:002009-10-26T02:45:43.233+01:00Jeff, la multiplicité de ton analyse m'épate !...Jeff, la multiplicité de ton analyse m'épate ! Quelle inventivité !<br /><br />Et en effet tu poses bien la question: Mais alors l'art contemporain commence où et s'arrête où exactement ...?<br /><br />Les anglophones ont une réponse pour ça : "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", la beauté est dans l'oeil de celui qui regarde. Si tu trouves ça beau, c'est beau.<br /><br />Oui mais j'ai répondu un peu à côté de la question : Si c'est beau, est-ce que c'est nécessairement de l'art?Nathalie H.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16806509041466785588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578502161069698346.post-77775807301486547812009-10-25T23:54:29.546+01:002009-10-25T23:54:29.546+01:00Blues at the St. Louis cloister, St. Louis Blues!

Génial ! Je m'y vois bien aussi entrain d'admirer, prenant "ça" pour de l'art contemporain... essayer d'entrapercevoir le sens plus que profond de cette mise à l'eau pour les bouteilles de cette boisson gazeuse mondialement connue... J'y aurais vu une sorte de baptême en grand nigaud que je suis... la face émergée de l'iceberg coca-cola ( méfiez-vous, on ne voit que le bouchon... )... une après-midi de pêche pour très jeunes enfants symbolisée par cette mise à l'eau... des pas japonais immergés par un tsunami américano-labélisé... les trois grâces, blanches et innocentes ( les trois bouchons blancs au milieu des bouchons rouges... 13 bouteilles... 13 à table, le repas des fidèles et les trois apôtres... la traversée d'un gué pour des rondes bouteilles qui vont sur la rive d'en face... bref ! Faut que je m'arrête ! je peux être intarrissable en conneries ( oups ! ) au sujet de ce que je vois là ! ! !...:-)))<br />Mais alors Nathalie, l'art contemporain commence où et s'arrête où exactement ...?<br /><br />Réflexion du soir...<br /><br />Bises Nathalie...;-)<br />Bon et excellent dimanche plein de soleil !

Mais on s'en lasse vite.<br />Pour moi, c'est du bricolage à grande échelle ;-)<br />Le résultat de tous ses micmacs n'est guère différent des tableaux d'artistes contemporains que j'ai pu voir ici où là, à Beaubourg par exemple.<br />Pourquoi faire simple quand on peut faire compliqué !..yvelinoisenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578502161069698346.post-45208392187190871132009-10-24T15:33:25.690+02:002009-10-24T15:33:25.690+02:00I left two more comments Nathalie on the last post...I left two more comments Nathalie on the last post.<br /><br />I love this blue along with the little horns.
