I just came back from a trip to NY and had the occassion to talk art with 2 people who’s opinioin I really respect. Rob Davis, a brilliant art director, and Marie Casanova, who I only recently met but did spet a day at MOMA with. It was interesting to me that both people, in seperate conversations, were of the same opinion of primaVera, Mike and so many others when it comes to the works of Peyton and som eof her contemporaries. And we all shared the same opionio of the New Museum: why put that crap in that cool building?

I saw Peyton’s show at the Walker in Minneapolis. It’s like fan art by a 13 year old girl. Think unicorns with long eyelashes. It made me sad to think of a grown woman painting these.

Just found this post via Google; not to be petty, but I can’t stand Elizabeth Peyton and I’m glad to see other people who feel the same – I thought your analysis of why you didn’t like her show was quite strong. It’s funny – before seeing the New Museum show, I basically didn’t like Peyton’s work; after seeing the show, my dislike advanced to more of a disgust (to paraphrase Metacritic.com).

I respect barryshapiro comment on my art. He must not be getting much these days in the girls department or he would recognize the genius in the splatter. Oh who named him the art critique any way.

Urban Picasso Lives because barryshapiro’s mom say so and his corny alter ego.

I approve Mr. Urban Picasso’s comment and include his URL only as a way to back up my argument. Mr. Urban Picasso is possily the worst example of why some people should not be allowed to own crayons but that is besides the point. The fact that he doesn’t draw well or that his work looks like something from a 12 year old boys fantasy is amazing considering that this guy is out there selling (or attemping to sell) on the web. Who would buy this stuff aside from Mr. Urban Picasso’s hoodlum friends down on the street corner. My advice to Mr. Urban Picasso is apply to art school and try to figure out a reason to make art other than the bimbo fantasies that seem to stimulate you now.
