It might be shit and pretentious and not in the least bit artisitic, but it must be art.

That could easily be the motto for any lazy, unscrupulous artist who is out there trying to make a living out of poorly produced pieces of 'work'. One of the things that always struck me about Warhol is not so much a lot of his work itself, but more the cynical comment that someone who came from a commercial illustrative background made on the art world in general. Warhol himself declared his work to be rubbish a lot of the time, but it certainly didn't come across for quite sometime as the work of someone whose mind was rubbish at all, in fact he certainly was hated fervently by a lot of his contemporaries. The reason being that his work made pretty much a mockery of a lot of what was then being pretentiously being considered art.
To be continued................
P.S.: TOKOLOSH, try forming your own opinions on art, rather than just smugly keep on saying that you have some, awright babes?
