Artist here. We can have shit opinions and be dumb as bricks too.
On a totally different note, I’m an artist too.
Have you ever gotten into an art project so deeply that afterwards you’re disgusted with yourself?. At your twistedness and obsessiveness.
And after that did you maybe want to stop doing art? To just give up that mode of existence.
Well it’s a relative thing. And as twisted as it is, it’s probably theirs. Which beats the heck out of the alternative and requires a certain minimal self-awareness.
I’ve seen enough great artists with total shit opinions
Well that’s what we always say about somebody who disagrees with us. No matter what they think or what we think. A big difference of opinion means total shit. (Unless you are the humble and patient type of course.)
Opinion of an expert is worth more than the opinions of non-experts.
An artist is an expert at seeing reality, relatively speaking. It’s the power, and the exercise of it, that makes him an artist.
If I need to buy new curtains, I’m ok with asking an artist which color to choose. However, when switching to a newer car, I think should ask a car mechanic instead.
I don’t know about that. Many artists are too preoccupied trying to figure out how to conceptualize their experience, which is exactly the opposite of seeing reality.
Artists are better than anyone else
- an artist.
Lmao
that’s a good point
You clearly haven’t met too many artists.
Why?
They’ve demonstrated insight, something commonly lacked.
So if you can sing, it automatically means you know stuff and your opinions on non singing matters is important?
I was thinking more great creator than mere reciter.
Your opinions aren’t worth anything at all
That’s a pretty crappy thing to say. Do you have a problem?
You literally just claimed that your opinion is better than 100,000 peoples opinions. You have no right to respond in this way to criticism
No actually I didn’t, if you’ll reread it.
And now I’m fresh out of pearls

No?
What is art? Who decides what’s really great? Why would any artistic skill in any medium mean you have more valid or worthwhile opinions on any matter bar art?
Strong no.
I think if you replaced “great artist” with “someone you greatly respect” it’d be universally applicable.
A great artist demonstrates that he sees, thinks and acts with greater clarity and finesse than the normal people. He is a man and they are mice, relatively speaking. It’s an objective superiority.
Lol
Was Richard Dadd seeing, thinking, and acting with greater clarity when he murdered his father, believing he was the devil?
When Gericault surrounded himself with baskets of severed heads and limbs, many of which were in advanced stages of decay, and kept the severed head of a man from the guillotine on the roof of his house, was he acting with greater clarity than normal people?
Very objectively superior.
Humility is something commonly missing from the normal person. They may not know it, And they definitely didn’t see it. And they can’t create it either. But they sure have some strong opinions about it. An intense arrogance despite the vast ignorance. Now that’s common.
How hard is it to say “I don’t know”? Maybe rotting heads are quite nice.
Sorry, troll. I don’t buy it.
Have the day you deserve.
Your reaction is absurdly negative.
Great art is great because it’s in dialog with the opinions of 100,000 normal people (either in the production or the recognition).
That’s like saying bananas taste good because 1000000 monkeys like them.
Fruit evolved to appeal to the animals that disperse their seeds, and art evolved to fill a social function that’s determined by the rest of society. The value of both is contingent on the roles they fill for others.
Yes.
Know who was an artist? Hitler. An amateur artist, but still an artist
It depends on:
- the art
- the artist
- the definition of art
- the definition of artist
Example: the opinion of a reggaeton singer is pure shit, no matter what.
This was reported for trolling. I think the votes are speaking for themselves so I won’t take action.
That’s really terrible reasoning.
I’d say telling the mod they have terrible reasoning is, in itself, pretty piss poor reasoning.
But you do you. Let’s see how quickly you can speedrun a ban.
What particular insect is up your orifice?
