    Is this considered an art piece? I'm sure some of you have seen this:

              I love Nesterov... His paintings are so beautiful and subtle.

                wow

                some of the pieces are interesting and disturbing at the same time by Kristina Lerner.

                I wonder in general if most of the artists (I have some friends who create amazing pieces only when on hallucinogens) are on some form of drugs while painting.

                  I was unfamiliar with the very late works of De Kooning until recently attending the Moma exhibit, I thought this was great.

                      I'm almost sure I'm imposing meaning that isn't present in the image, but it looks as if the giant on the left delivered the elephant to a fairground, and is walking away from a business deal. Despite all the ropes and helicopters, the elephant seems barely contained and the giant implies that there's something out there more powerful than the tiny humans.

                      The image can be read as an allegory for nature as pretty things in national parks and zoos vs powerful "speculative realist nature". The first image is so pervasive that the latter is only present by way of reading plot holes. (This isn't quite "smoothly functioning, unnoticeable ideology". What constrains nature is painfully noticeable, what is constrained is almost entirely hidden.)

                      (Its funny, I've watched that particular youtube video many times, but never noticed how interesting the image was until you mentioned it.)
                      "He described this initial impetus as like discovering that they both were looking at the same intriguing specific tropical fish, with attempts to understand it leading to a huge ferocious formalism he characterizes as a shark that leapt out of the tank."

                        Oh - really, the image was the first thing I noticed! I think you posted this on FB a few days ago right - wonderful Xennakis piece - thanks for putting me onto that...

                        Yeah, it could be seen that way - as if it's life brutalised into order.... lacanian style - good call.

                        I reckon its russian, I just get that feeling.
