Paintings:: this is one thing i dont understand till today... few months back,i had been to a painting exhibitoin......and people wer movin here and ther lookin at the paintings.....each would stand in front of a painting and look for hrs.... and the height was ther was a painting sold for 5 lacs.....all it had was a BLACK HORSE EATING A GRASS................kya hain paintings main jo they sell for such huge bucks....i don get it even today..........neone interested in my painting with me playing my guitar????? come on we can bargain....... :
the man who buys the painting find something special in it EG mona lisa its not good painting its just that leonardo said that it was his best painting and we cannot surely say if she simling or crying
its just a matter of appeal and havin a taste for that stuff ... secondly, buying art, and showing interest in expensive paintings is what makes you posh .. and in high circles you ought to have an expensive painting hanging on your wall to host a dinner party ... ridiculous ..but thats how it goes .. rich people's hobby .. poor painters bread ... it works .. so why should we complain ..
There is a joke: A young girl goes to a painting exhibition with her little brother. She was an avid art lover and was going through all the paintings paying much attention. Suddenly seeing a painting her little bro who silent till then exclaimed 'Wow what a great painting!' The girl taken aback by the comment couldnt belive he understood the painting and asked him. 'How did u understood that this painting is about the complexity of human life?' Her bro replied "Oh! iS it? I thought it was the picture of a Jalebi " ^^^ So i guess understanding a painting differs from person to person. Sumone may see the complexity of life and sum1 else may see a JALEBI ...... : :
