Xann Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 It's art made by amateurs, eccentrics, mavericks, autistic savants - people who are not part of the 'art establishment'; in many cases, patients in psychiatric institutions. Some of it is quite astonishing. I've got a CD of early outsider Swedish abstract/electronic music. It's proper mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I am loving the art everywhere billboards at the moment in train stations and bus stops. The one piece that I really liked was My Parents by David Hockney. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 ok I hate art ..but i hate that even more than i hate normal art art is stuff that hangs in churches and palaces ..I wouldn't hang that in a Northerners coal shed ( or bathroom as we call them in the south ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Thats ok Tony, art is after all subjective, I dont care much for modern art, but appreciate that its my taste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I like Hockney. Not a one trick pony by means, some of his life pictures are very fine indeed, and his abstracts are often quite easy on the eye What's on the walls at chez Tony then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 I'd much rather art create a reaction, positive or negative, than just be muzak. ...is my preference over..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 We have a Don Bachardy original in our dining room, my wife since we were very young was a big fan of Bachardys partner, the writer Christopher Isherwood, christmases and birthdays were spent sourcing first editions and hard to find books of Christopher Isherwoods, one year I managed to get hold of a Don Bachardy painting and that hangs in our dining room.

Designer1 Posted August 8, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2014 I am loving the art everywhere billboards at the moment in train stations and bus stops. The one piece that I really liked was My Parents by David Hockney. I was having a good look at that yesterday on a bus stop near my house. It's such a terrific painting, i'd seen it before in books/online etc but as i'd never seen it on such a scale I stood for quite a while having a good gawp. I might stick some of my oil paintings on here at some point. Tony will absolutely hate them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Back in my apple days I had a client who ran a design studio ..became friends with him over the years and so used to pop in for coffee and stuff if I was passing turns out for a while when he was younger he ran an art gallery or something in New York and become friends with Andy Warhol .. he has about 4 Warhol originals in a safe in his house , that as far as I'm aware nobody knows exist ..he showed them to me but it was a few years back now so i cnat recall what they were of I suspect he may not have acquired them through strictly legal means and why they are hidden away but I guess at some point they will surface ... My brother was on a dive boat in Antarctica the other year with some American guy called Wyland , who drew everyone a small picture and signed it as a goodbye and thanks for your company type thing .. his stuff is going for silly money ..doubt it will be worth fortunes but it was a nice gesture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
