The fact that art is more consored that ever... You tube, cnn, whats next? If u dont like art, wear an eye condom next time

It isn't censored. The picture is available. She will not be arrested for creating it. 

However, there are still consequences of one's actions in the private sector.

I just feel bad about this whole debacle. I love Kathy, and I've been a huge fan of hers for years. You can tell she instantly regretted it. She took down the picture from her Facebook page and posted the apology video before there was even any real outrage. At the same time, I don't know what the hell she was thinking. She had to have known this wasn't going to go over well; both conservatives and liberals are angry. It just sucks all the way around.

I agree with CNN, this wasnt art, it was graphic and insulting and unnecessary. I can think of so many other ways to show opposition to trump than posing with a disembodied head.

 

 

Uh oh guys, the Art Police infiltrated GagaDaily's moderation team...

This was a photograph by Tyler Shields. Shields, much like Gaga, tends to use imagery in his work that many would call "graphic." Whether it's Andres Serrano, Robert Mapplethorpe, Ren Hang, Terry Richardson, or Tyler Shields you are entitled to an have an opinion about how the graphic nature of their photography makes you feel, but it's not up to you to decide if it is art.

If it makes you feel any better I can rephrase and say it was highly distasteful and shouldn't have been published :huh: The image glorified his death in an extremely graphic way and CNN were right to distance themselves from it. I probably wouldn't feel so strongly if the image wasn't as realistic.

Art doesn't always have to make you feel comfortable. 

As long as it is ART. 

Kathy obviously was not threatening Trump's life. 

Photography is an art form and this was her and the photographer's expression at the time.

It's not about me feeling better. I just corrected your factually incorrect statement.

This photograph was a work of art. When Lady Gaga reenacted rape, with an actual rapist, while an alleged rapist filmed them, that was art. When Gaga bleed to death in an act of mock suicide on an award show stage, that was art. Art isn't about being tasteful. I expect a moderator on a Lady Gaga forum to understand that.

Again, it's art. Tastefulness is irrelevant.

That's like saying ISIS's photos of them holding real decapitated heads is art. You sound ridiculous.

No, it isn't like saying that, unless in your mind there isn't a clear distinction between a member of ISIS holding the decapitated head of a murdered journalist, and photo of Kathy Griffin holding a Donald Trump mask dipped in red corn syrup. One is fake, one is real. You know Lady Gaga didn't actually mass murder everyone in that diner in Telephone right?

I still love Kathy. I'm more upset at all the backlash she's received than I am about the original photograph. It didn't phase me one bit tbh.
