Anyone into art???
Can't stand the pretentious society..........don't care to 'decipher' what the artist's nightmare is depicting.
That being said, everytime I go to Ceaser's Forum Shops I am drawn to Christian Lassen's Galerie(there's some of that pretentious crap....LOL)
So I see a print on Ebay called "Sea Flight"...not my favorite piece but I call the gallery in Vegas and in Hawaii and the current value is over $3,000.
I win in for $1,000!!!
The woman in Hawaii is Lassen's sister and tells me about how if I buy some prints from her she'll get me some smaller prints for free.
Let wifey know.........she has to have the "Artist's Proofs"...so I end up with 5 Lassen prints.
Please check 'em out and tell me what you think.....I hope this doesn't make me gay!!!
"Miracle of Life"
"Mystical Journey"
"Sea Flight"
"Mystic Orcas"
"Serene Sanctuary"
Go to the site, click "The Art" and search the above titles.

I, like you, like art, but hate the society around it (I am the same with wine, European cars, classical music etc.)
They are some great prints, I really liked "Mystical Journey".

I find it hard to equate gay with liking art depicting ocean scenes. I was born and grew up on the beaches of So.Cal and spent more time in the ocean as a kid than on land. And now for professional reasons I'm wilting away in the desert. So I'm a bit partial to paintings, photo's, sculptures, everything ocean. I liked them all. Like I joked about in another thread, if I'm gay, then I must be a lesbian trapped in a man's body.

Got a few friends that are artists.
One does pastel work and the other does glass work.
I'll have to check into the "lassen-art site".
EnviroCon, you miss the ocean, or are you "cool" with burning up in the desert.
I also grew up near the ocean, but the waters are a bit colder here than in So Cal.
I know about desert life, being that I lived in Mojave.

Art is like wine. As long as you like it, its good art or good wine. As far as 'art experts' go, this is my favorite art story:
The Museum of Modern Art in New York displays Le Bateau (The Boat) by Henri Matisse, and the painting attracts thousands of visitors, among them art experts, art museum curators and a large number of Matisse connoisseurs. No one notices for forty-seven days that it is hanging upside-down. Hello, this is a painting of a boat with sky, clouds and birds and no one notices its upside down?

I don't think liking art makes you gay. I like art, okay, maybe just some of it. I don't get into the brushstrokes and the color application BS. I just like what I like. My favorite, and I own over a dozen, would be works by Windberg. The nature scenes are almost picture perfect. He also hides wild life in the scenes and it is sometime difficult to find all of the animals. Now that's my kinda art.

LOL............the gay crack was a joke.
I swear I'm a 100% red blooded heterosexual AMURICAN MAN in a 23 year marriage !!!
There was that one time when Rocket Science came over........but it was only ONE time!!
Sweetie,..........agreed, just a tad over the top. The dude is getting real commericial.
THE BOAT story is funny as heck. I'm sure people noticed it but were afraid to speak up for fear of being "not hip".......kinda like THE EMPEROR's NEW CLOTHES...

Did you just make that up? Or have you been saving that for a while?

I too like art, but dislike the pretentious attitude that seems to accompany it. But I like realism in my art, never quite understood the Impressionist thing. I like art that actually looks like what it's supposed to be. Paintings, drawings, sculptures in many different mediums...(I really like metal!)
I did some ceramics for a while, and a few years back I got into pencil drawings. My avatar is one I drew, not that you can see the detail in that size!
I like Lassen's work. Never seen him before, but it appeals to me.
