Cy Twombly Fifty Days at Iliam 

So well put! You get it👍

I don’t understand your question. Maybe send me an email and explain what you need.

Right. I have no background in making art. My field is humanities.

Making art and art history are *very* different disciplines. Most people in art history aren't failed artists. That would be like saying everyone who likes music but doesn't pursue it professionally is a failed musician. Art history beyond the "intro to art history" that practically everyone takes is very academically rigorous. If you don't understand all the history and culture around the art, and how they relate you're going to have a very hard time. You have to have a very strong grasp of world history and culture. It's not just putting paintings into chronological order. It's also a very posh field of study. (Both Prince William and Kate Middleton have art history degrees.) If you want to work in the arts in some capacity, a lot of the most lucrative jobs more or less require art history degrees. I have friends who are museum curators, work in auction houses like Sotheby's, write for magazines, etc. who all have art history credentials. It's easily one of the most "useful" degrees in the arts. (And that's without even touching on how helpful it is as a minor, or in conjunction with other degrees.)

That’s the name Cy Twomey gave it it’s not an error of the video

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

lol

i wouldnt think it has to do with myth

You should ask for your money back.

@@chezceleste Who said I bought it?

@@xryanv Thank god for that. As you say, "anyone ,,,could jot down something similar with coloured pencils or crayons"...I have yet to see anyone do a credible copy of a Cy Twombly...of course art students all over the world have been inspired by him and tried to copy, but it can't be done. Da Vinci is easy to copy, as are most figurative painters, as we see from the most expensive painting ever sold, Venus Mundi, about which the dispute rages, whether it is original or not and whether it is worth the $500,000,000 paid by MBS or the $45 for which it was sold 20 years ago. I guarantee that you could not do a copy of a Twombly. You wouldn't know where to start...and it would always be a copy...price means nothing and only one person pays for a work of art and the rest of us get it for free. Most artists die young and poor and unknown but still choose to be artists and there is so much amazing original art out there in the world that you can buy for much less...and artists don't want the world to call them geniuses, they just do what they do, pass messages from the Universe and hope to find those for whom those messages are intended. If the message is not for you, you don't need to become angry...just as everything on a menu in a restaurant may not be to your liking or as Chinese writing may be incomprehensible to you, there are others who enjoy or understand these things and the art of dead artists doesn't do you any harm and one day it may save your soul.

@@chezceleste I think you mean the Salvator Mundi? I didn't say someone could copy his work, I'm not sure why anyone would even want to. However lot's of people have scribbled on paper and made similar doodles. Or jotted down notes in a sloppy manner from a book they read. As I said there is a certain unique creativity in what he has made ( since he was a human being each of us being unique ) just the style and level of effort are similar to that of a toddler. I think since he studied child hand writing to make one of his untitled works, this was likely what he was going for.

@@xryanv Probably...every artist is unique...and not every artist appeals to everyone...I just love some of Twombly's work...I guess because some of it looks like my own...like some things just recur all over the planet....some of it looks like cave paintings, and I love so much of what is called primitive art, from Neanderthal to Australian aboriginal to a guy who sits on the pavement and draws things in chalk which get washed away and some grafitti and well...art is everywhere...some of it speaks to us and some of it doesn't...I guess it resonates or not with our experience or our dreams and the art market and the prices paid for it mean nothing, but it does bring it to our attention and art is older and more powerful than religion or philosophy...in fact the oldest thing on the planet and you can't appreciate or understand it all, but at least it does you no harm...I think anyone who finds themselves doodling or scribbling things out of their own mind should respect themselves and call themselves artists and not be intimidated by the art market and self appointed experts saying so and so is a genius when we all have the capacity and the desire to create. Nice talking to you anway. Nice to talk about art.

art is subjective

Nah you’re just jealous some of us can feel more deeply and read books.

art is subjective and not everyone is into figurative art

@@dasmowilkins since they changed the meaning of the word 'art', then anything can be called art - that, in fact, means the word 'art' itself has become redundant. You seem to be an 'anything' lover.

@@ilsinco whos they lmao art has always been subjective. beauty is in the eye of the beholder. what you're describing has always been the case because anything can be art.

@@dasmowilkins do your homework - art was always subjective in whether you like it or not, as in, whether it's to your taste. BUT, what 'art' was, wasn't always subjective. The actual dictionary definition of art changed. Once it was 'a skill or craft (esp one involving chemicals)', then with the ideologies of Kant and Hegel this led to a different perspective on what an 'art' and an 'artist' actually should be. Modernism adopted these philosophies which has led to scribbles, blank canvases and shit in a can all being called great 'art'. People aren't to judge art themselves on merit, but are now told what art is and how good it is. Sorry if I don't allow my opinions to be spoon fed to me by 'experts'.

@@ilsinco words and their definitions are also subjective. i don't care what a dictionary thinks about art. ;let me ask you a question g what do you think about trans people?

Your opinion as opposed to the many who know something you don’t ! Get it???

@@missybeegood5359 no I haven't got it. Emphasized YET. Can u elaborate I'm open.

Anyone who can’t spell, would call it trash!!!!

Kurtis, if you are compassionate, loving , And mindful, you will be rewarded by a soulful gift of understanding what others Do not. You will get it!!!
