It's meant to have been one of Fellini's inspirations when he was making La Dolce Vita.

you are so slanderous when you disagree.

Thanks for posting that. I LOVE that painting, one of the best ever.

You have to overlook Rob. He is often wrong about things. Occasionally, he'll admit when he's wrong but he's usually too busy flying off the handle and insulting everything a lot. Which is funny, it adds to his style, but admittingly it's hard to take a few things he says seriously, especially in this case...

THOUGH, in this case, it's just an opinion, and opinions technically can't be "wrong"... Art and taste are subjective, of course... and you like what you like... but to call a De Chirico painting "boring" would suggest that he doesn't know much about art in general. But again, you like what you like.

I'd like to meet an 11 year old who could be that "surreal" btw. Sounds like one kick ass 11 year old!!!!!! (speaking of which, anyone can see that documentary My Kid Could Paint That?)

Giorgio De Chirico, both in his artwork and as an artist.

I don't think it necessarily suggests that. It can also suggest that Rob doesn't know much about art, or that it isn't about knowledge at all but instead just empathy. What particularly is boring about it? Is boredom induced by the painting or is it a reflective act by the observer? This is the kind of internal dialogue that comes from making sense of surrealist art. To just write off something as "boring" without further explanation, as Rob did, really says nothing about the paintings themselves.

Waiting for Rob to respond with something along the lines of:

"no I UNDERSTAND the ART
and why SOME BORING ass fuckers think its important
but FUCK THEM
all I know
when I look at most of DeChirico's paintings
is it looks like FUCKING BORING ASS GARBAGE
for pretentious fuckers

sorry to offend you intellectual CRITICS who don't understand the difference between whats beautiful and whats MUNDANE but fuck it

dali wins FUCK"

It's a move where you get teabagged by your opponent to throw a hershey kiss that turns into a blue pop rock before coming down and hitting them with a lp on the way down, to which I recall, was first seen used by Sanford in his Super Marvel Crack Hour videos but prolly went on to use better tactics (Shaded just made it seem like it was HiS move).

what date is this one?
Use of decalcomania as underpainting, just makes me think of Ernst. Another far more interesting surrealist imho. I think Picabia would have been my favourite, if he had been more epic.

I have a double BFA Bachelor's of Fine Art degree in Studio Art (focus on oil painting) and Art History (focus on 20th century painting).

shut yr yapppps

and deChirico is boring. He is the pink floyd to dali's Butthole Surfers

Rob, for some reason, you are the very last person I'd expect to have gone to art school! That's cool.

I am artsy fartsy, and of course, any statements I make about dechirico are purely subjective personal opinion. the man deserves his place in the canon, but I consider him a second rate surrealist. I am not too big a fan of Miro either.
I dig ernst, Dali, and shit but mostly I prefer the Dadaists to the surrealists.

DADA
"there is no beginning and we do not tremble, we are not sentimental. We are a furious Wind, tearing the dirty linen of clouds and prayers, preparing the great spectacle of disaster, fire, decomposition. We will put an end to mourning and replace tears by sirens screeching from one continent to another. Pavilions of intense joy and widowers with the sadness of poison. Dada is real poetry".

Swans Reflecting Elephants, Dali, 1937.
You think surrealists had epic questions?

I saw that. It was just an interesting story at first, and then it got crazy when they brought into question whether or not she actually did the paintings, or if her dad was doing them.

I saw that flick.

this is what Pablo picasso was painting whe he was 13

This just in: Impregnated goat gives birth to a notion, notion irritates nation. Societal rug pulled out from nation's mental feet with metaphorical union.

from the girl (supposedly) in My Kid Could Paint That


I could have farted that out my asshole when I was 4 years old.

I can't remember it all too well, but was that one that she supposedly did, or is that one that they watched her do and she didn't do well because she was being watched?
