[Merged] Is it Art?

[joglynne]

Much better Some interesting photos they remind me of the freeze frame photographs that used to be popular.

I guess this could be called Performance Art. I wonder if you could tell the difference between photos capturing images generated by a String Quartet as opposed to a heavy metal band?

Interesting concept of using digital projections and dance:

That's performance as opposed to art.It's more a Happening as in Pop Art.

A collection of 1,500 artworks confiscated by the Nazis in the 1930s and 1940s has been found in the German city of Munich, media reports say.
The trove is believed to include works by Matisse, Picasso and Chagall, the news magazine Focus reports.
Some of the works were declared as degenerate by the Nazis, while others were stolen from or forcibly sold for a pittance by Jewish art collectors.
If confirmed, it would be one of the largest recoveries of looted art.
Investigators put the value of the works at about one billion euros (£846m; $1.35bn), Focus said.

Well this is real art and I can't wait to see what the haul contains.

I agree Maggy and I also hope that at least some of the art work can be returned to it's rightful owners or put on public display and not stuck in bank vaults never to be seen again.

I can't get on Facebook at the mo, I think it's down.

Just looked at Maggy's link. I love the vibrancy of this work which combines two of my favorite things eyes and doodling. I would love her work box, just seeing all those pens and colours makes my fingers itch to do some artwork.

There is some precision doodling in her work.

Try this

Sorry Maggy I wasn't being insulting about her work.

My doodling is very detailed and includes both geometric patterns and real life subjects.

I once did an A6 doodle for a godson who was fascinated by the jungle and all the animals were hidden amongst the foliage. It took me weeks of eye straining concentration to get it finished. I did it all in biro and used half a dozen pens before it was finished, worst choice of pen ever as biro ink goes brown with age. Some 20 years on he still has it but you can hardly make out the detail anymore as it has faded so badly.

I love the photo-realistic art myself.

I didn't think you were.It's just that I regard doodling to be a more free form sort of art letting the subconscious emerge.I think her work is more practiced and very carefully worked.I think it's very clever.

Not too sure about this.... Way too realistic and creepy for me.

Very clever though.
