Well,it's hard to explain

.
Basically it's a 20 foot tall metal "object".
It has the head and limbs of a lamb,and a banana shaped body.It is painted bright yellow.
I'm sure that a group of modern artists got together and had a bet who could sell the most pointless piece of scrap to a large city as a piece of art.
Liverpool city council made this artist the winner

Mousie, thanks for the explanation ...and the description

hi all,

Chris i must say im not very keen on Lowrys portraits, however some of his city scapes i believe to be quite good. i must admit i am not a fan of modern art or sculptures. near where i live they are planning to errect three 12 foot high scollop shells made of iron, in memory of Benjiman Briton. what shells have to do with a composer i don't know!

some sculptures such as those produced by Barbara Hepworth i find soothing. the flowing lines and forms of the shapes have a certain calming influence (or so i think). however this i must admit is the only type of sculpture i like. things such as a bed or a cow or things that are a distorted version of something real do not appeal to me at all. however your lamb bannana does sound quite interesting Flying Mouse!

Tim · 02 Aug 2003, 00:28

Well, did you know that the paintings of Salvador Dali are very sexual loaded??? In some paintings he painted some strange things, than can be explained as an sexual problem that he has. As i'm correctly some of the paintings have sexual names.

Frank Lloyd Wright build some great houses. They are one with the nature...so that means, less walls, no doors, and an open character. His houses are build in the middle of the nature. One has a tree in the middle of it, another an huge waterfall.

Think the Cristal Church is a beautifull building in the USA... don't know where it stands... but it is very nice.

The Butcher, Tim

Bren · 02 Aug 2003, 11:42

Tim,
No, i did not know that about Dali.

Frank Lloyd Wright,..now you have described that..i know who you mean now.

Are you familiar with the artists i was discussing with Chris,earlier....Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst ??
If so what is your opinion of thier work?

Bren

Tim · 04 Aug 2003, 00:25

Hello art lover,

No, don't know the people that Chris was talking about, but i will search on the web for them. Cause i'm very curious, and never too old to learn he?

Indeed Tim,
i look up and find out about the artists you mention and i do not know

I knew nothing about Hundertwasser..so had to look him up...had a look at some work by Gaudi also, some beautiful and amazing buildings, so different.
Ialso had a look at..Mies van der Rohe., though only a little did not find much visual material,so based on what i managed to look at.....prefer Gaudi and Hundertwasser

Frank Lloyd Wright, after you described his work, i knew who you meant...some incredible buildings and the one with the waterfall is lovely just amazing,a real work of art.

I've bought a beautifull book, called: All Great American Pin-Up

In it all kind of paintings from pinup girls... like on Welcome to the Neighbourhood and CHSIB covers from ML albums.

It is really great to see! And i love the way it is painted / drawn.

The Butcher.

Bren · 08 Aug 2003, 10:45

Sounds nice Tim,
i love the art work on the Welcome To The Neighbourhood cover

Bren

Tim · 08 Aug 2003, 11:59

Me too... it is very from the '50 and '60 years.... That is pretty cool. The picture in that book also. It looks really nice. Love that kind of art.... and you know.... it is a bit Pop-Art like....

Bren · 08 Aug 2003, 13:05

I agree Tim,
i just love that kind of art work,like on Welcome To The Neighbourhood...so nice , just something very appealing about it.
Enjoy your book

Hi Tim,
read this in Cathie's post (she had very kindly typed the whole article out for us to read) "MEAT IN SUNDAY TIMES"....on General Messages .....
in the article, from the paper, Meat Loaf was asked"Do you have a money weakness?"
The following was his reply:

Quote:

Yes, for art. I got into it about 10 years ago when I met an art broker, Steve Kennedy, who is very eccentric. I wanted a strange-looking piece of art for an album cover. He introduced me to pop art in America and at the same time I discovered American Impressionist art. I now have the second biggest collection of pop art in America.

interesting don't you think?

also remember reading that Meat liked the work of American impressionist Childe Hassam

Bren

Tim · 11 Aug 2003, 23:42

Hello,

That is indeed very interesting. Glad you quote this piece of text. I will take a look.... and abouth Cathie.... very interested in her collection of Art.... if it is that big... wow... Would love to see that.

The Butcher.

Bren · 12 Aug 2003, 12:33

Hi Tim,
have edited my previous post because how i worded it was confusing sorry....should make sense now

Bren

Tim · 15 Aug 2003, 09:49

Hello Bren,
That is nice of you, thanx.

Next week i will go to some musea around here. I saw some very interesting things, that i would love to see. Keep you informed about it

The Butcher.

Tim · 17 Aug 2003, 02:53

Are you familiar with the Architect Philippe Starck??? It is an architect that made nice buildings... He is one of the 4 architects from the Groninger Museum. This is a very strange building, but nice to see.

Check out the site of this museum:
www.groninger-museum.nl

Bren · 17 Aug 2003, 11:06

Thanks Tim, i will take a look at the site.

Tim · 25 Aug 2003, 01:53

Did you know, that the (in Dutch) "minoische beschaving", think it is called in English Minoic Civilication, from 1500 before Christ disseappeerd due to a vulcano erruption???

This erruption was so big, that the city was under so much ash, and they found it completely and in tact. Also some people managed to escape, but others died.
This vulcano erruption was followed by some huge waves of water, and so it was destroyed.

But the people that managed to survive, the lived for over, at least 50 years somewhere else... near a island.
Another part of the dissapearing is that they didn't obay the king any more. They thought that he could rule everything, even mother nature. Due to the vulcano and the huge waves, they started to dislike the king. The tried other things to keep mother nature calm.. like offering their childeren. So this civilazation bacame week.. and the greeks took over everything.

Heheh, read a great book today. and saw a video about it. That was nice to see... and learnt a bit more about it.
It is soooo cool, that (art) history!
