In my home country of France, I, as Napoleon Bonaparte, used oil painting.  Much like your extensive talent.  Grandour to you, my friend.
 

I agree, sure, abstract can be fun, but when it is your main thing, your one trick pony, than, it is sad.

there is a game out called Rise of Legends...I think you would really enjoy that computer program.

it follows a civilization that has your name on it.

 

thank you for all the great Art and Invention.

 

 

jackson pollack, for instance, is an influential artist for having done splatter painting.  he took his canvas off an easle and worked on the floor.  and his most famous work is very conceptual.  you look at his paintings and see and feel things that you can't from a portrait of a woman or a landscape of a field.  it also showed he had an eye for composition with the colors balanced pleasantly throughout his canvas'

....sorry, leo but i just gotta say you're wrong on this one.  i really admire your work and you are a true influence to me but i gotta say your post just doesn't seem like something you would really say. 

 

Have you seen the newest geiko commercial? that kinda looks like a jackson pollack painting on the wall lol.

 

wtf? it's the sign of the times! we didn't have an opinion when "you" were around, now"your spirit comes to haunt us with "yours!" ~odell
 

I normally dont comments about shit like this But this is wrong remember Beauty is in the eye of the beholder this is ture for art. I love Leonardo Da Vinci and I think and feel he would love all art no matter what he was to smart to be closed minded. (Just my thought)
 

You go Leo!
I think folks who praise this sort of thing only think what someone tells them to.
 

God isn't the only one who agrees with you my friend, I'm right up there with him (in this respect only, of course). Every year our local museum runs an art competition & the top 50 entries get exhibited. One local fellow entered beautiful oils & water colours every year & never got chosen, so one year he got well pigged off, put a white dot in the middle of a canvas painted black & called it sumat like 'light at the end of the tunnel' & guess what? Yes, you've got it, the silly, cravat wearing, wine spitting judges put it up!!! (Where do these tossers get off?) They said he'd done sumat good with...wait for it, their favourite word (cos it's the only one above 3 letters long that they know)..JUXTAPOSITION! Give me Raphael any day!
 

It is sad that you get to have the screen name Leonardo Da Vinci.
Da Vinci was a gentleman and would not cuss this much.
Also, I wish he were alive today, I am sure he would love it.
He probably wouldn't care about painting at all, realizing that the art of depicting
reality faithfully really isn't a major achievement anymore and acknowledging as well
that the art world as it exists today is a mess. Or maybe he would fall in line with the
Abstract expressionism you believe he would so detest (?).
In order to paint like Da Vinci one certainly must have a love of materials, and
such a love is often what drives abstract painters, not the need to depict sentimental,
religious and political drivel.

I'd like to see what Da Vinci could do with some spray paint.
Plus... Prove that God Exists, you could make a name for yourself doing that
instead of poorly impersonating The GodFather of Painting who you obviously know very little about.
 

lo perdono
 

I agree, kudos to you!
 

I cant stand art where someone has to explain to you what it is!
 

hey man - abstract art and expressionism was only invented because of the camera and it's many many lenses.



Don't be hatin' on those artists.
