Sod it? :D

No, it's not funny because Aqua already PMed two people the answers. That's what I meant when he's acting like an asshole. Plus acting immature when it comes to this game...which obviously took me a bit of time to put together.

Thanks for your responses, and it's fine...I know what F and R meant. :)

I really love the colours used in number 10.

It's probably a water stain or something but i think the colours are gorgeously harmonious.

I actually agree...they are great colors. I was thinking that just before I read your post.

Ok, I'll leave this up in case anyone else wants to go out on a limb and guess.

Dol? :D

Ok, I'm taking the bait. I don't recognize any of the paintings so these are guesses.

1) F
2) F
3) F
4) R
5) F
5) F
6) F
7) R
8) F
9) F
10) R
11) F
12) R

This is SO something my brother would do. He and 89th sound exactly alike when the argue against contemporary art.

It's probably something like all of them are real or all of them are fake.

Opps. MP, you messed me up!
We're all mad here!

The funny thing is I actually like the finger paintings better than anything...#10 and #12 are my favorites. :)

We could play this game with political punditry. Post a few articles, and try and figure out which are by people who have the first clue about anything, and which are by politicians.

Probably the most intelligent thing written on the forum in the last 24 hours. The problem is that we'd still all disagree. It would be naught but a waste of electrons crossing each other in the aether (how's that spelling?) and we'd end up being the same idiots we were when we started it.

After all, it's a tale told by an idiot. Posted Image

12 is very good. Your friend's paintings are what you said...decoration.

Sure, 89th - I actually am getting some semblance of a life, had a date last night, left my apartment, and you posted these with the answers before I could play.

I was doing it in my head as I scrolled down, and I would have been wrong on 3 and 12.

I'm not sure what this proves, because I'll bet I could find photos that were taken by amateurs where lighting and everything worked through happy accident that were just as good as pro photos - but it doesn't necessarily mean that the pros have no talent.

Also - 89th - do you have more info on #7? I like it.

#7, if I remember is by Kline...I think IT guessed that earlier.

I waited as long as I could Dol...you're not allowed to have a life!!! :sword:

Also, the point of this (and other pollock threads) has been shown and is very clear. Sure, we can all have different taste, which is fine and I agree with...but in the end, when it comes to abstract expressionism painting...ANYONE can do it! :D
