And are you familiar with the artist (I saw his work in the Pompidou Center in Paris) who does these freaky drawings of masturbating and stuff? Weird. My husband (who is not creative at all) looked at that stuff and said the next big thing in art would be putting paint on one's, um, member, and slapping it against a canvas. I thought that was about the most creative idea he'd ever had.

Well, social effects is at 830+ and counting.

"Do you mean Egon Schile” around the turn of the century or so?"

I did not note his name, but Egon sounds like an appropriate name for the artist who created these pieces.

"Loose drawings with a little color “you know where”? hahaha"

Yes! I believe so (it's been a while).

My other favorite (not) at the Pompidou was Yoko Ono's video of butt cheeks walking.

But maybe I am insulting all your favorite artists? If so, I apologize.

My taste is more along the lines of Franz Marc, Marc Chagall...

any artist named "Marc" (kidding).

"“Portrait of artist as a young boy masturbating” Lots of white. "

Yes, that's it.

"GREAT paintings of big carcases of beef in meat lockers hanging on hooks. "

Hmm, I think I might have seen a few of these in a college art class.

We used to live near a church that was in Metz, France in which Chagall had done some of the stained glass in the windows. It was really beautiful and got me hooked on his style.

Wow, we just had a sort of polite conversation. How did this happen?

"Wow, sounds better than saying “I used to live in Novato” or I used to live in Thrill Valley."

I'm sure Novato and Mill Valley are way better than the town we actually lived in. I have never met a French town I didn't like, but we lived across the border in dreary little German armpit of a town. Fog hung over it constantly, it was freezing cold, and it had very little of the typical quaint architecture of that region. It was beautiful countryside at least.

Wow "huh" is certainly becoming all-encomposing.

"Mark Rothko, Ad Rienhardt (”Black paintings”) JMW Turner, Robert Irwin, James Turrell for me I guess. Wanna see my prints? Just kidding, never made one!"

I googled all the names. I looooove Turner's work. Also Rothko's. Am probably not highbrow enough to appreciate the black plastic-covered canvases. :-)

Wow “huh” is certainly becoming all-encomposing.

That is the idea. No thread bubble.

"was implying that you might be getting bored listing to me go on and on about art!"

Nah, I missed out on taking more art classes in college. I might have majored in it except that I lived really far from the school and couldn't swing the extra hours on campus required for the labs.

"Its not plastic!"

Oops, sorry, I read too fast.

"Wow “huh” is certainly becoming all-encomposing."

Let's see, how can I get SJ Jim to make more jokes about lap-dancers... Must go consult my evil-mastermind manual.

"The black paintings are actually hard edge geometric crosses of nine squares each. Not black really. Just close to it."

Okay now I have to go look at them again...

So SQT is a work of art. Well, we all knew that anyway.

Okay, my confusion came from reading one of the titles too quickly: "Black print on plastic." The nuances do not show up on my computer monitor. I can only see black.

So SQT is a work of art. Well, we all knew that anyway.

Huh?

Oh, LOL, your warnings came too late.

"Just get the can out and shut up!"

You're starting to scare me Jack. If you pull out a can opener I'm outta here.

Heh.

"So SQT is a work of art. Well, we all knew that anyway.

Huh?"

Huh!

Her kids are long gone to bed by now. Maybe she's trying on her nurse costume.

Oooooooooooh, seems like I came in at a good time. I like being called a piece of art. It's better than being called a real piece of work.

Children and husband in bed, safe to play now. :twisted:

Yes. For hubby?

And you're saying I'm bad?
Besides, I'm saving the costume for later.

"Oooooooooooh, seems like I came in at a good time."

Ah-ha! Be sure to read previous comments carefully. You have been the subject of much conversation.

"Yes Jamie, but you know that is not the WHOLE truth… Jamie the writer just HAD to embellish…"

Are you talking about the can opener? Because I clearly remember your so-elegantly-described scene with the can-opener-as-foreplay.

"You mean later…tonight."

Let him have his fantasies, SQT.

You mean later…tonight.

I'm thinking when the kids are at grandma's.....

I did catch the Nurse Bendover comments. But I'm thinking I'd rather be Nurse BadAss.

"Explain your process! Its what we do here on the “Huh” thread!"

You can't seriously want to know how my pea brain works. Describe YOUR process.

It must be the server, my computer is refreshing slowly too.
See, no BAD comments.

"torrid pace"

He said torrid pace.

"Which JAMIE introduced!"

Shall I go back in time and produce the actual evidence?

The only can I'm interested in is a can of "whup ass." Did I mention I'm a black belt? (true)

In Jack's own words: "Surfer-x would come as a can of lubricant."

See, you are the origin of the can.

"BTW, why me?"

Because you're here.

And you can take a joke.

And you can also make great jokes.

And you don't get offended by my awful sense of humor.

Oh gee Im scared SQT.

It's the Farrah hair isn't it? Not very intimidating. _Sigh_ I'll have to work on that.

"Did I mention I’m a black belt? (true)"

Very cool.

Did I mention I LOVE Kung Fu flicks? That's about as close as I can get to a martial arts conversation. Well, "Kung Fu Flick" brings to mind the wrong thing, really. My favorite films are along the lines of movies like The House of Flying Daggers?

Anyone?

Jack, now there's an art discussion. Chinese cinimatography is sublime.

"cinimatography"

Maybe I would appear smarter if I could ever learn to spell...
