Art The Modern Art Thread

[AmorRoark]

Since Visual & Performing Arts was dropped I've noticed a lack of support for art (other than film/music) on bluelight. I guess *Second Opinion* will do.... I'd love to see your favorite modern artists (in any form). This includes you wonderfully creative bluelight artists!

I just want this to get some serious replies rather than Lounge garbage. It'll probably work better here.

I love any kind of visual art, I wish I knew some modern artists to contribute. I love wondering what the people who made the works are thinking when they made them. I really like vague meanings which can be interpreted in more than one way. I really like Georgia O'Keeffe and I like the Naoto Hattori stuff AF. Great thread!

mark ryden reminded me of:

Tonight I went to the MCA in Chicago to see Dan Flavin's "A Retrospective" exhibit. I was very very impressed! I intend to go back before it's gone.

Photographs don't really do the exhibit justice.
