Mid-Morning Open Thread
Looking For Violet, Green And Red
Mark Rothko
What is it supposed to be? Looks like a window looking out at a stream with rocks. Painted by my 5-year-old.

The local art gallery once had an exhibit of landscapes. They included a Rothko made of orange and yellow squares. The explanation was that instead of depicting nature in the traditional sense, Rothko invoked it through bright, hazy, contrasting color. It was an interesting interpretation.

The eight sides of the two polygons is representative of something, which we don't know but which the artist freely allows the observer to subjectively interpret.
The heavy use of red conveys to me the sense that there was sale on that color at the art store the day that the artist decided to paint this.

I'd rather look at something by Paul Klee. Think I have a soft spot for him since we copied some of his color square paintings in art class to learn color theory, and as a kid I had an artist neighbor from Switzerland whose paintings were similar to his.

The nameplate is blank, as though waiting for something, like it is incomplete, or the work was unfinished.
So we supply our own labels to complete the work, and by doing so, project ourselves into the piece, and make it our own, so to speak.
Clearly it is an open vessel, waiting for us to merge with it and create our own reality.

Had an art teacher in college that emphasized the idea that the artist's "artistic process" is what defines art. That the finished article actually didn't matter, it's the inner life and motivations of the artist that matters.
In other words, art is masturbatory.

i liked it.
It has a real "Lost Highway" vibe about it as well as "unimaginable cosmic evil" thing going on.
The "LH" vibe is a good thing. It's one of Lynch's best movies ranking up there with "Blue Velvet" and "Elephant Man".
I think Ace is wrong about them going full Black Lodge from the start.
since I'm one of the 0.000000000000000001% of the TV viewing audience who watched "TP" all the way through the first time-
I can tell you that it was a relief to finally get a glimpse of where they were going.
And no more fucking Log Lady(though her short part last night was effective).
A big part of the problem with the original TP was that I believe Lynch left in the second season(?) and Frost took over the writing.
That kind of deadpan surrealism Lynch does is tough to write, and Frost's version of it blew donkey doodles.
Lynch came back for the Black Lodge parts of the original, so complete continuity makes sense.
I do hope though that they wrap it all up this season.

I would agree with the proviso that an easily reproducible piece can still be significant. But it can't really be expensive if it isn't "rare" - in the sense that you can't get an indistinguishable piece from some guy down the street. Only idiots would pay to have a piece that anyone can make, themselves, even if it is beautiful. The artist should get the credit for identifying, and creating, a beautiful work but that shouldn't translate into any extra monetary value for the piece, which is essentially a commodity.
But, then, this is why art snobs will pay through the nose for "anything" that has the correct signature on it. They are really just overgrown autograph collectors, not art lovers in any way.

I agree you don't need a degree to appreciate art. I think many think you do, however. "Art snobs" have intimidated people into thinking that art is more complex than it really is. I used to tell my students that all you need are eyes, a brain and a soul. It uses a language we all should have learned in kindergarten. Art history is different. That requires study, but art is made for humans, by humans, for the enjoyment and edification of humans.

When the sculpture was first unveiled, people were so blown away that they were convinced that angels had made it. Michelangelo was so offended that that night he sneaked into where it was displayed and carved his name on Mary's sash, to let everyone know who really made it.

You are missing the point. The Brits and the French knew he was contacting ISIS and they knew he was flying back and forth to Libya and Syria. They knew he had reentered the country and where he lived. Still they did not arrest him. Sure if you have a President like Barky anyone can cross the border but as soon as the SOB is known to be back in the country he would get arrested.

Yes, I think that is true. M. didn't seem to sign his works. Not with his name anyway, but his style is pretty unique.
With this work, and with Bernini, it's about how he disguises the material he's working with. Yes, it's marble, but you also see real flesh, the material of Mary's garment, the dead weight of Christ's body. There's also how M. hides the deliberate flaws, like the size of Mary herself. And the symbolism is amazing--a complex meaning in a very simple work.

There is no way you could either arrest or ban entry to a US citizen simply because they traveled to Raqqa, etc. The ACLU, half a dozen state AG's and fourteen Christian churches would all file suit and these judges would order their release and monetary damages.

As an aside, Rothko deeply resented being categorized as an abstract artist since he felt the aims of the abstractionists were entirely different from his own. He wrote a book, 'The Artist's Reality: Philosophies of Art,' where he summarizes what he's after.
Extrapolating from some of his conclusions, art isn't what's hanging on the wall or hanging in the round. Art is what's taking place inside the person experiencing the object (or the dance performance or the piece of music or whatever). The emotions and associations and thoughts are what's being composed and directed. Rothko just happened to use color.
I happen to think many people don't like this kind of art because they go in with preconceived notions of what capital 'A' Art is supposed to be. If you're not open to it, that's fine, but I think you're missing out.

Years ago, the wife and I were shopping for granite countertops. So we walked through this warehouse with hundreds of samples. I stopped dead at one. It was a Jackson Pollack painting in stone. Unbelievably expensive - like $50,000, unbelievably beautiful. It had a name on the tag that identified it as 'Pollack' so I wasn't the first one to notice the resemblance.
It makes me wonder if Pollack borrowed his designs from nature.

He couldn't. If you go back to early Rothko, in the '30s, you see a painter heavily influenced by Picasso and Miro -- but clearly without the chops. And unlike Picasso, who was an amazing prodigy in his youth, there are no Rothkos from his youth that say "I could paint like this if I wanted to, but I don't." It was only when abandoned figurative art altogether that he found his niche.

_________
Is that a thing? Really?
Before I was married and still in my apartment I came home to a small velvet pouch, with a beautiful wooden carved rosary in it. It was just propped up against my door like it was placed on purpose.
It really is something to see. Now, I'm not even remotely Catholic but I can appreciate the workmanship. I still have it.
I never did figure out where it came from, it was a locked building so it had to be one of the other 7 apartments I figured.

Last night Decades TV ran a Tonight Show with Roger Moore as a guest from 1982. Carson asked Roger to retell some jokes he told Carson on vacation.
A Scotsman tells his boss he's getting married on Thursday and needs the afternoon off and Friday too. His boss says, Jamie lad, it's your wedding take Saturday as well. Come Thursday, Jamie works the whole day and shows up on Friday. His boss says to him, I thought you were getting married what happened? Jamie says, I found out she's a virgin. Boss, What does that matter? Jamie, Well if she's not good enough for the other lads she's not good enough for me.

When the sculpture was first unveiled, people were so blown away that they were convinced that angels had made it. Michelangelo was so offended that that night he sneaked into where it was displayed and carved his name on Mary's sash, to let everyone know who really made it.
I don't know how true the story is, but it's one of my favorites.
Posted by: Kris at May 24, 2017 11:10 AM (nwqNw)
The version of the story I read was that a high church official publicly referred to Mike as "our gobbo from Milan". Mike took it badly, since he was actually from Florence (he was working in Milan when the church commissioned the Pieta). In his mind, it was like calling him an inbred redneck.
So he took his hammer and chisel, broke in to St Peter's and signed the Pieta "Michaelangelo Buonarroti, Florentine, made this".
And yes, it's his only signed work.

The real spiritual issue, as stated by Christian Mystics, is that performing ritual magic is worshiping false idols.
That said, the Mystics also say that everyone will be saved no-matter-how-long-it-takes (parable of the flock). So go ahead and enjoy the pageant.
Christian Mystics proclaim what Catholic Church would call Heresies. The ones that have significant believers say the same things sightly restated. To tell the difference between the real thing and a con-man check for if they take up a collection (pass the plate) at their lectures. Solicitations for money is the tell. Does God really need your money? God hardened Pharaoh's heart. Money is Caesar's world.

There are a whole lot of mystics in the history of Christianity-some were even Saints and a number of them were quite convinced that only in belonging to the RCC can one be saved. I'm not a RCC and I don't agree with that and I can still deeply appreciate the gift of their lives and words to to the Christian faith because they put their eyes on Jesus..

He heads the largest denomination... I'm not sure it's fair to call him the leader of Western Christianity.
But I agree, it's disturbing how people like the pope are suddenly BLANKING OUT on the primary principle of ethics, how people act, and instead focus on the *demographic* group to which they belong, and say, "if they are part of such and so group, they can be killed. Otherwise it is evil. Actions are irrelevant". It is madness.

I was under the impression that the Church, whether it is the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Baptist, Presbyterians, Lutherans, and even the Methodists, were supposed to be about the Great Commission-that Matthew 28 stuff.

Anyone know if ratings for cable news have gone down overall? I'm thinking MSNBC is atop the ratings because a lot of viewers just stopped watching Fox (and they never watched the other stations)....which has put MSNBC up but not that they've gained new viewers.

John XXIII and his wretched Vatican II (how's that for Roman
numeraling?) did its best to ruin the Church and Pope Fidel seems to be
the second act of a very bad play

Our culture is fundamentally changing and not in a "live and let live" kind of way.
The mechanisms for forcing everyone to publicly go with it or be exposed as a heretic are being put in place.
I know there are still a lot adherents to the faith but are they willing to lose their jobs or go to jail for their faith.
Some, I'm sure.
But not many.

Absolutely true. It's like the whole country never left the 60's. What a miserable bunch.

Remember that they even named one of their movements "Re-create '68".
Vietnam was THE defining moment of Boomers' lives, and they spent the rest of their lives drilling it into their kids' heads (and if they became teachers, into YOUR kids' heads).
The left will FOREVER be protesting and re-protesting their little mental Vietnams.

Its more than the war and protesting.
The antiwar movement was the seedling for the notion that "we can make a difference, we can change the world".
It's the genesis of every Marxist, social justice warrioring, bleeding heart do gooder on stage today.

These faddish things are taken up by the "cognoscenti" because they're easily recognizable, so it's like buying a hideously expensive, but prominently logo-ed, Prada bag to show off to your fabulous friends.
E.g., Jeff Koons, Rauschenberg, Lichtenstein, Rothko, et al.
