Art Bollockese: Fallacies in Projecting and Promoting Modern Art

di Jeff Andrews (Autore)

Arena Books, 2019

Art Galleries across the world are now full of works that are so bizarre or devoid of skill. Anything including a kitchen sink can be called 'Art' if it has enough high-brow verbiage nonsense written about it...namely Art-Bollockese. To beat a path through this intellectual guff and express the views undoubtedly held by many, the nominated voice of common sense; Joe C Threwitt MA, provides provocative and fun-poking opinions on featured artists and their woeful, weird and/or wacky creations...including the Art Bollockese written about: - A Pile of Bricks - A Messy Bed - A Giant Butt Plug - yes, really! - Canvases Painted White - Toilet Sculpture - Cavorting Nudes - Billboard Poetry Located in Beauty Spots...and many more examples including Turner Prize winning works and well known simplistic, minimalist and conceptual pieces of art; that could have easily been created by a young child or tree living primate. If this book doesn't have you laughing out loud, you must be living on planet Fluxus!
