Can art be repulsive?
Typically art is attractive, often eye pleasing. Now I'm looking at it from the other side of the coin. Can it be repulsive and yet, have desirable qualities?
What do you think?

When you ask such question, it's just evidence that you don't go much outside, and seems like a sheltered person, that needs very simple things explained and spelled out, because you are so unimaginable stupid and completely retarded.

Re: Can art be repulsive?
Art can definitely be disturbing, shocking and/or unsettling. Francis Bacon's paintings, Artaud and Marlowe's plays, and the film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre come to mind. However, if the art crosses into being literallly repulsive--and not just to a few perceivers--it fails to be either beautiful or sublime...just viscerally offensive.Philosophy Explorer wrote:Typically art is attractive, often eye pleasing.

Nor do you ever answer any of my question, but dodges them because you are too stupid to answer, let's try again.Philosophy Explorer wrote:You have not answered the question with your retarded, unintelligent post.HexHammer wrote:When you ask such question, it's just evidence that you don't go much outside, and seems like a sheltered person, that needs very simple things explained and spelled out, because you are so unimaginable stupid and completely retarded.

Re: Can art be repulsive?
When you ask about the relevance of correct spelling retard, you show two things: disrespect for the person you're trying to communicate with and disrespect for yourself. Spelling is part of grammar and the meaning of sentences become unclear and even changed so that you fail to communicate. Now why don't you fuck off and go back to the forum you came from? Oh yes that's right tard of tards, that's because Scott BANNED you from OPC. BANNED YOU. And you're taking out your frustrations on the good members over here with your babble and spam.HexHammer wrote:Nor do you ever answer any of my question, but dodges them because you are too stupid to answer, let's try again.Philosophy Explorer wrote:You have not answered the question with your retarded, unintelligent post.HexHammer wrote:When you ask such question, it's just evidence that you don't go much outside, and seems like a sheltered person, that needs very simple things explained and spelled out, because you are so unimaginable stupid and completely retarded.

Do you think Alfred Hitchcock falls into this genre? (The Birds comes to mind)White Sky wrote:Art can definitely be disturbing, shocking and/or unsettling.

Re: Can art be repulsive?
Yes, Hitchcock definitely falls in the disturbing, shocking, and /or unsettling...but not the repulsive. And while The Birds is definitely an example, I would say Psycho is even moreso. He literally bragged he was ending the 50's with the film and helped do so by perverting the "family as center" theme of the 50's, killing off a major 50's star in the first 15 minutes, and doing so in a violent fashion threatening our most vulnerable domestic space--the shower.

I bet you still misspell in any language, loser, so you're only laughing at yourself, horse's ass.

Did you figure that out all by yourself? Those video games must be doing something for you. At least you're getting something out of your library tard.HexHammer wrote:Spelling correctly only requires good memory, not intellect.

Re: Can art be repulsive?
How about "Guernica" by Picasso ?
Disturbing, not pretty to look at.
But it´s art because made by an undisputed artist.
Art requires some mastery of expression.
A selfie of a battle-field would hardly be "art".
