guys i went to see a miro exhibit but it was a bunch of his b-sides and they put it in a church hall
unfortunately like the church was super fancy as all the fucking churches in europe
you know all these gilt statues of like. jesus and whatever made of marble and incredibly done,
so then when you look at the actual art they are showcasing. most of it was kinda dumbb
it was all legit completely blank white canvas, a couple of thick black lines
maybe a red circle too
the thing is i wanted to show you guys but there was no photos as a rule.
right so i was like "ok when i get home im gonna look up these images and post them to jrs"
anyway i got home and did that but nope lol
not even searching by name got me any of the artworks in google images and tbh i'm kinda doubting that they were even his works though
seriously?? like is that it. did i trek it out all the way to this church/museum on the other side of the city just to look at a bunch of rejects the miro foundation (all artists have foundations right?) could lend out? i guess i really will just have to go to a bigger (read: actual) city like madrid or barcellona if i wanna see real famous art
his art is usually so good tho!
even looking through google images the art there is way better than what they had
like even his b-sides are probably worth a lot right??
pretty much context makes art.
which is really fucking dumb!! i think that an artist's reputation should be less of a factor in determining the value (monetary and aesthetic) of an artwork
once you've made yourself a name as an artist your works sell for way more, regardless of the quality of the work.
i mean yes there's a difference between an authentic master artist's work and an imitator, so of course the price should be different? but not at the lowest rungs imo
anyway im sick and im gonna go put off my responsibilities and have a coffee and play some yugioh for ds now. that sounds good to me rn. bye

Yeah bro thats a bit of a tricky spot with super abstract sort of art like miro's. like i really enjoy most of his works but when we saw some of his stuff years back, there were some really meh ones, so much that even when I stared at it for a long time and tried to make up art meaning behind it, i still didnt feel it.
but in the end, it's his identity and overall style thats being sold/exhibited, not the actual method or the work. and im guessing they were selling merch and stuff so it was probs another way to make money by showing the 'rejects' of miro's work, like to really pick out anything that he has touched with a paintbrush and brand it as a work of art/history. like you can make up some bullshit story about his works that he didnt want people to see to create drama and mystery, like the lesser known works of miro, and people fall for it cos he's super reknowned. they want to be a part of it, (and tbf, who wouldnt?)
its like the same shit with basquiat where they like exhibit his 'unfinished' or 'accidental' stuff that was found lying around in his old studio. like they can put a price on it because its all now part of 'important culture', like the whole its important to see the pieces of the artist's process, the bad stuff makes the good stuff and the bad stuff cant be bad because this guy made it
anyway its all a brand really. i mean have you seen the way brands consume people. its crazy! its all about influence and perception. Im glad you chose to not appreciate it and focused on the architecture
