Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 24, 2024

I call this ‘Bug on windshield’

“Is this art?”

“Well, we’re talking about it, aren’t we?”

“Only to complain about it.”

So, who died? Ah, the things we do for art – ‘ars gratia artis’.

It has a certain freshness and I like the runny texture. It’s off the canvas in a way that invites you to step back a little.

Is it for sale?

“Take The Money And Run” version Deux.

It has legs and a good nose with hints of oak.

The news is more funny. (But depressing.)

Art is anything the producer says it is. Of course if someone else likes it, that’s a whole new level.

This is truly avant-garde! At least it wasn’t Photoshopped!

Years ago, I spent a day at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. It was about 50% wonderful, 50% WTF?

A moment ago it was performance art.

It hits the spot.

“Due in part to his Diet of Worms, Martin Luther is said to have been pestered by The Devil and threw his inkwell at him. It missed, and splattered on the wall. The artist has here faithfully reproduced that image.”

Technically, but the quality sucks. I wouldn’t pay for it.

Making a splash in the art business is easier than you think.

Didn’t he have a magic act with a little guy who never talked?

It’s performance art. I don’t know why it hasn’t been done for real.

Why do art viewers need a glass of alcohol in their hand to view art?

You probably didn’t really need the brush behind your back. Don’t want to waste a drop more wine than you need to. “Berries in the brush” might be an appropriate title. – During the still cool air of Sunrise.

Mission Accomplished

At least we know it wasn’t produced by AI. We won’t go into detail regarding the actual “I” involved.

If only it were this easy. You have to submit your paintings way in advance for them to be considered for an exhibition

“Contractural Obligation.”

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So when you view something that makes your eyes water, maybe you are crying for joy or possibly from pain.

“Art is what I’m pointing at when I say ‘art’.”

i’m thinking , where’s the person who got shot in the head

I call it a waste of a good glass of wine.

Good start to a Pollack painting…

Looks like a bad time in the Batman comics! Bam! Pow!

Brilliant cartoon art/creation…

There’s stuff like this hanging in the Detroit Institute of Art. The artist is laughing up their sleeves, thinking they really pulled the wool over their eyes.

I call it “Career-ending Unreliablity 2 with Moonlight”. :)

If memory serves me I have seen articles talking about sillier things than this selling for mega dollars; I wonder if the dribbles behind the artist are some sort of comment on much modern art?

The painting is upside-down.

Anything after Jackson Pollack should be automatically disqualified

I used to volunteer at a nonprofit that helped local artists. Some of what they called “art” baffled me, but in the end all that mattered is what sold… and a lot of that baffling “art” never sold.

It used to be called “Sunlight On The Brook”, but now it’s Moonlight On The Ocean"!!

Like doing a paper the morning it’s due.

I call it bloody diarrhea butt.

All I can say is that Jackson Pol lock “Mr. Dribble and Drip” made it big, although I never quite knew why.

Two of the worst “art” pieces I’m ever seen. Middle 80’s I think. A shop vac in a glass case and the worst, 3 urinals. No plumbing just 3 white urinals. If memory serves, bought by an older woman for something in the middle 5 figures. Art ???

I will freely admit that I don’t connect with a lot of ‘art’ styles, and by no means not limited to the more contemporary ones. Still, some of what passes for art these days reminds me of things I had to deal with when my children were infants.

He looks like a poser/wanna be artist from the eighties in that get up. I can’t think of any artist that looks like that these days.

Commissioned him for five paintings last week for the show. Art on demand.

Too many jokes about ‘modern art’. Moving on.

Is Hunter still painting?
