Art of vanishing, an art that exists nowhere save in the afterlife of the mind ... a transient shining line ... simply a document a work of art that itself is made out of nothing more than effort and intent, and it returns to nothing !!! vanishing within hours of its creation - it isn’t possessable - you can’t buy it - it doesn’t exist !!! All the same it’s free if you want it You simply have to conceive of it - to let the idea occupy your imagination

which ought not
and will not be judged
by
art critics on whether it is
"kitsch"
(synthetic art : for the "peasant")
or
"avant-garde"
(genuine art for the : "cultivated spectator")
! my dear visitor !
!!! it is only you who have to make this kind of judgments !!!
because it is in the eye of
you as a
visitor / viewer
! of course !
artists want to be avant-garde
no doubt about that
it is the very nature of the matter
! not so me !
... whenever visiting ...
... a ...
I
often do not feel anything other than a "peasant" feels there
because usually
I
am perfectly happy and content with "kitsch"
(effect)
since I, for one, do not show particular interest in what is called
"modern art"
nor

a
remark though
about the quoted - interlinked critic
by
far the most influential US-American art critic
___________________________________________________
I
very much like
(Spanish/Catalonian)
and
even more
so
(Ukrainian/Russian)
and I think that it's a bit strange to make a direct comparison here in the first place
since one actually cannot relate to each other people of different times, different traditions and different schools in visual arts
(different genres' exponents)
like
one cannot directly compare a piano to a cello or to a guitar
? can one ?
but
??? does this matter ???
!!! at the end of such an art critic's day it is all about self-righteousness !!!
(-; right ;-)
... this being said ...
in an attempt to repudiate the art critic's view on the controversial subject matter
vs.
"kitsch"
: I'd :
: like to put it this way :
like
Repin is a key to a picture
of something we have no direct access to
here by
abstraction in terms of appearance
there
on the contrary by
concretization
in terms of what once was
imho
: in other words :
"Picasso"
guides us on how to - see - the concrete abstract
"Repin"
meanwhile
offers guidance on how to - experience - the very abstract concrete
!remember the approach of dialectics you'll find throughout the whole virtual art project yet to encounter!
this is a "Matisse" actually
(-; this is (a) "léger" actually ;-)
(Fernand Léger)
but never mind - it is a means to an end not - an end in itself
you know
it is
pretty amazing
... no doubt about that ...
we could go through now with even further abstracting from what our senses can discern
? but would that make any sense ?
! I'm afraid it would not !
so let's take it the other way round and go from abstract to concrete
... or ...
in line with Clement Greenberg's view on things
let us do the totally impossible
which means preempting effect to the cause
and
see a portrait of the
writer Vsevolod Mikhailovich Garshin
you can feel the magic in this splendid painting
I
guess
and what to think about
Clement Greenberg may obviously have had some need
- more than reason perhaps -
for making the classification he made
... what strikes me ...
... however if it is regarded ...
"kitsch"
why not referring to a contemporary of Ilya Repin
a major representative of the same time and school in visual arts
(traditionalism, realism)
the French painter
...
??? is it because unlike Repin Bouguereau could be perceived as "art for the peasant" by a wide range of people ???
Cupid and Psyche
ʕ "kitsch" ?
(-; French kitsch - so to see ;-)
as mentioned already
I
think this is in the eye of the beholder
and
never would I go as far as to say Bouguereau is
"kitsch"
(-; German kitsch - so to see ;-)
(-; Dutch kitsch - so to see ;-)
what I personally would regard as kitsch in the most basic sense of the word is the
work of art by
_ in my eyes nothing more than a cheap, provocative expression aimed for a *******society ******* considering nakedness in general and naked children in particular as a "no go" _
↓ ↓ ↓
Jeff Koons
(-; American kitsch - so to see ;-)
- in his capacity as an icon within current Western avant-garde art circles -
in my
eyes
- like "beeple" an "art motherfucker" - sorry for not be able to tell you any better - from a personal point of taste -
↓ ↓ ↓
_ aimed as "critique" of a consumer society, probably, and then traded on an art "market" as profitable article of art _
!!! consume and investment !!!
unlike with the pig's back side
: : one does not need gloves ::
! not at all !
the inherent hypocrisy can be grasped with bare hands
__________________________________________________________________________Oh
my dear
you see
I
like art ? art ? what art
"art"
not everything that "looks" like a duck in fact ... hm ... is a duck
... ...
to there
(-; not everything that comes along as avant-garde in fact ... hm ... is avant-garde ;-)

! the question that rises !
? would such a kind of art be classified as ?
genuine
by
criticizing
a
"world of art"
by means of
definitions - classifications - formulas
or
are they - my guess
? completely lost ?
! in such ad hoc !
? definitions - classifications - formulas ?
______________________________________________________? Have you ever noticed ?
!! my dear !!
!!! the poorer the "pic" the more effusive - sheer exuberant - the reference to "form" and "colour" !!!
"? why it is so hard to spot a ?"
... one more thing ...
further above I mentioned my capacity as a layman in visual art and conceptual art
well
: in my lay capacity here I'd like to present you :
! an example of the !
in terms of traditional visual art
? kitsch ?
! of course kitsch !
(but awesome kitsch)
assemble by Sandro Botticelli
: titled:
"The Birth of Venus"
and
- contrarian -
two examples of the
"highest of feelings"
in terms of conventional conceptual art
? genuine art ?
! of course ingenuity in art !
(but awkward ingeniousness)

Marcel Duchamp

"Foutain the Fountain"
installation by an unknown contemporary concept artist
: titled :
... if you recognize cynicism in my thoughts and examples ...
(;- so pretty hour blue - blue hour pretty so ;-)
I
almost feel sorry for that routine
! must be my German lack of humor !
I
guess
: just in case you have not seen this yet :
"The Fountain" is fake real
"The Blue Hour" is real fake
... yet ...
another
installation by an unknown contemporary concept artist
: titled :
"(P)oops it did it again"

!!! holy - shit - really - pissed - off !!!
!! he who screws off an art museum's sanitary facilities and assigns them to the exhibition space does not need to be surprised by the faecal language of the visitor !!
