It's kind of a mockumentary, Mr. Brainwash isn't really "real". You can hardly find anything about him that isn't related to Exit Through the Gift Shop - apart from Madonna's album cover that is

A Life Lived and Conversations with Philip Guston are both fantastic. Then there's Cave of Forgotten Dreams, which is one of my favorite films.

are there any good documentaries about japanese animation studios? i know it's not that unusual for home releases of anime to have little making of featurettes just about the production in general, but i'm looking for something that focuses more on the technical aspects of the animation process specifically.

Guston was a rather brilliant and important artist in the 20th century. And yes, Guston wanted you to laugh at his imagery. Or rather, most of his imagery. You're talking about a man that painted cherries like hand grenades and Nixon with a dick and ball sack for a head.

It's not my opinion, it's what he wanted. He said it himself in several discussions about his late work. If you're referring to him being an important and brilliant artist, well, he was the father of Neoexpressionism, one of the biggest art movements in the last few decades of the twentieth century.

>One of the biggest art movements
>Neoexpressionism
You realize the New York art scene hype's itself up beyond it's actually value, right? Repackaging Expressionism was never important. Aside from Basquiat most of those expressionists, like Baselitz and Schnabel, were terrible. It's good to see that you're getting good use out of that MFA though, worth every penny.

these are some good ones that I can remember right now
"Traveling with Yoshitomo Nara"
"Painters Painting"
"Over Your Cities Grass Will Grow" Anselm Kiefer
"Condo Painting" George Condo
"How to Draw a Bunny" Ray Johnson
"The Gates" Jeanne-Claude, Christo
"Andy Goldsworthy's Rivers & Tides"
"The Pasaquoyan" Eddie Martin
"Rembrandt's J'Accuse"
"Crumb" Robert Crumb
"Boneshop of the Heart" Charlie Lucas, Vollis Simpson, Thornton Dial, Bessie Harvey, and Lonnie Holley

>>1760520
>Baselitz
>terrible
>Basquiat
>not terrible
Basquiat was just some faggot junky that Andy Warhol wanted to see if he could make famous. And you're forgetting both Carroll Dunham and Chuck Connelly. I'll agree with you about Schnabel though. And the New York art scene doesn't really "hype itself up" considering that it's not really the artists themselves, but the galleries, collectors, and museums that do the hype. If galleries decide to show Neoexpressionists, and major collectors/museums decide that Neoexpressionists are to to be included in their collections, then that's not the fault of the artists. Guston established a new school of painting and influenced generations of artists, both his contemporaries and those who came after him. The consequences of his work are still being felt today.

>>1760524
Basquiat's the only expressionist of that era I actually liked.
But yeah, I'd include galleries, collectors, and museums part of the New York art world, and they've done a substantial amount of marketing on the behave of their shit culture.

It's a history of Western art and philosophy from the perspective of the then director of the British National Gallery. He's got a great way with words and narrative ability. Just because you fail to see the merits of something doesn't mean it's stupid. And just because something aims to be intellectual doesn't mean you have to have your head up your ass to appreciate it. Watch the episodes 'The Pursuit of Happiness' or 'Heroic Materialism' if you doubt its value.

The point is that fantasy/sci-fi/whatever art "is what it is" and doesn't try and fail to be something it's not. An adult scrawling paint all over the place like a child is juvenile as fuck in and of itself already, what makes the genre exceptionally pathetic is not so much that an adult man in his mid 40s is making fingerpaintings that even their mother would hesitate to put on their fridge, it's the sycophantic mouthbreathing fanboys that try in earnest to ascribe some farcical, mystical, holistic quality to the work beyond the work itself like the drug addled hippy trash that they are.

Just look at the pic attached. That's Hockney's attempt to draw realistically USING THE HELP OF THE OPTICAL DEVICES ALLEGEDLY USED BY VERMEER... and guess what? The result is SHIT.

Looks like it's a little harder to draw/paint realistically than just using some mechanical aid, eh?

I think Hockney is just a feckless, bitter, envious little bitch who wants can't paint at the level of Ingres or Vermeer so he lashes out at them in jealous rage.

adjective: crass; comparative adjective: crasser; superlative adjective: crassest
showing no intelligence or sensitivity.
"the crass assumptions that men make about women"
synonyms: stupid, insensitive, blundering, dense, thick, vacuous, mindless, witless, doltish, oafish, boorish, asinine, bovine, coarse, gross;

>>1767598
I believe that definition to be too open to interpretation. Intelligence in what area? In general? Because I believe it shows enough intelligence to be above the level of none. And sensitivity to who or what? Am I showing myself to be insensitive? I would then argue that the insensitivity is being projected upon me.

Furthermore, I would argue it insensitive and unintelligent of you to accuse me of something that I clearly am not. Your dismissal of my opinion, which is based solely upon how I feel about his career and his work, to be downright rude.

>>1768077
You can interpret however you want.

>Because I believe it shows enough intelligence to be above the level of none.

So you're saying, that because you have the capacity to form a sentence, that shows intelligence. By your logic, nothing can be interpreted as unintelligent, because by even showing the smallest bit of intelligence is "enough intelligence above the level of none". Okay.

>sensitivity to who or what?

Well, for starters Basquiat himself, his family, friends and fans, and furthermore humanity as a whole. To be glad of someones death, let alone simply because you do not like his paintings, is highly insensitive.

Though, going by your last display of "intelligence" I dont expect you to be able to comprehend a semi-difficult word such as crass.
