Bambino 24,103 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Whoever is against this article, guess what, he studied art, you didn't. Such a legendary reply :clap: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoshLife 16,925 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Where is the sinister and darker? I honestly just felt he was saying things cause the words felt funny to say, unless he is speaking about the Portrait of Koon's and his ex wife. But really... He was speaking about the portraits. It was in the sentence about the portraits. Was that not very clear? "The images are gross or amusing depending on your sensibilities at first, and then become darker and more sinister the more you think about them."

Didymus 34,379 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Just LOOK at the comparisons he's making. Google them and you will know that they don't make sense. You don't need an art degree to check the claims of someone else. Sorry, Will Gompertz - BBC and Times Arts Editor. And you are? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriverMonster 10 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Because Koons is not a great artist. I'm sorry dude, you're getting praise for producing a Christmas ornament and making it your own by calling it a gazing ball? F off! This review is a MESS. His references don't make any sense most of the time, he's basically praising it for the copying of innovations of previous artists. I don't trust it. Jeff Koons is not well liked among art critics. The Warhol and Emin references are hilarious It's just delusional, I'm sorry. He can't even spot the sculpture that's in the black and white part of the cover. He clearly wrote this in five minutes or he's just being satirical or something, since NME hates Gaga. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

zexion_armando 241 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 He was speaking about the portraits. It was in the sentence about the portraits. Was that not very clear? "The images are gross or amusing depending on your sensibilities at first, and then become darker and more sinister the more you think about them." I read the pullquote the OP had posted, which spaced them out, as so His shtick is to play with our perceptions of fine art and pop culture: to make the low high and the high low. His Michael Jackson sculpture is one example, as are the ****ographic portraits of him and his then wife La Cicciolina, the Italian **** star, making out. The images are gross or amusing depending on your sensibilities at first, and then become darker and more sinister the more you think about them. Koons’s art asks questions about values, taste, capitalism, reality and beauty. They are designed to appeal to our eyes and mess with our soul - and his new Lady Gaga cover perfectly fits that mould. After seeing they were one paragraph, I realized what he was discussing. Either way, the end of that sentence made me vomit slightly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didymus 34,379 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 He doesn't even notice which sculpture is in the black and white part of the cover. Seriously.. Finally a real authority speaking on the issue.
