Remember Damien Hirst's monstrosities (no relation, by the way!)? What they achieved, on the psychological level, was a deep reinforcement of the material, an absolute horror show and devoid of beauty.
😂 You reminded me of something that happened years ago when I was at School. I went to a very small music school (roughly 40 pupils whilst I was there)) in Surrey called the Yehudi Menuhin School and we were quite often filmed and the school liked to project a very artsy highbrow image although the majority of the kids were quite down to earth..our favourite TV progs during my time there '77-84' were Top Of The Pops and Dallas! Some genius had the idea of filming Yehudi and the School Orchestra playing Vivaldi 4 Seasons whilst some 'modern artist' painted pictures to reflect the music. As it was done for French TV the School were sent a copy on film for the school projector which was played one evening to the whole school. When Spring started the artist picked up his brush (which was covered in green and blue paint) and smashed it into the centre of the canvas once in a stabbing motion (That was 'The Painting'). The entire room of kids erupted in laughter at the farce much to the anger of the staff. The next week all the kids were walking around laughing saying 'Spring' and then mocking the artist's paintbrush stab..the madder the staff got the more we enjoyed it! 😂 You can't fool kids...they see the Emperor's new clothes! 😁👍🏻 God Bless Nigel 🙏🏻❤
They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen.

My local council are building a 'culture house' in the city centre. This included 'interactive installations' and other horseshit. Government and culture...oxymoron central.
Marcel Duchamp (hope the spelling is correct), who put a urinal in one of the big art museums and said, "This urinal is now a work of art as it has been displayed in an art gallery." (or words to that effect), summed up modern art nicely.
Absolutely agree. Reminds me of that sketch Harry Enfield used to do "I saw you coming", where he ran an antique/Art shop in somewhere like Brick Lane and sold old rubbish at extortionate prices to rich Londoners after convincing them it was the "in" thing to buy.
She's copying all our work. My bed has been unmade for decades. The kitchen sink is really bad, nobody in their right mind would want to recreate that.
'Everybody I ever slept with in the tent,' was Tracey's other work of art. This all happened during Cool Britannia, when Tony Blair was walking on water and Oasis were the new Beatles. She was part of the YBA, Young British Artists conglomerate, which also included Damien Hurst. She was from Margate and they built an art gallery down there because of her genius. Performance or Fine Art, they call it. I had a few mates in swinging London, who were part of the scene and I think I got taken in by all the baloney, until I woke up a few years later.
I totally agree. My heart soars when I look at an old master,a Rodin sculpture or perfectly symmetrical old world architecture. The modern garbage has exactly the opposite effect on me. Which I think is their goal…to dispirit us and to snuff out genuine human creativity and artistic genius. Pori looks beautiful 😍
The Big Club members buy the "art" and get their art flunkies to rave about it. Next, they have it appraised by a friend at a value of millions of dollars before they donate it to a museum and claim the tax write-off. The final stage is a line of peasants saying "Ooooh!, Aaaaah!" as the look at the masterpieces they were told are great.
Same with “high end” food…one single scallop on a plate garnished with one blade of grass and a drizzle of dandelion sauce. That’s supposed to be special.
Don't forget the mockery: they laugh every time some middle-class m0r0n admires some new art commissioned to mock the peasants - Melyvn Bragg says it's good, so it must be good
Remember "that's life" got the elephants and monkeys to paint on canvas with bicycles and brushes then they brought in the unwitting art critics to fawn over it 😂😂
So... imagine I conspired with a group of rich people. I pose as an artist and produce a limited number of 'paintings'. We then organise a high profile auction where the bidding is rearranged. The rich guys purchase assets which can be written off for CGT and both I and the auction house profit handsomely. The 'art' then becomes a tradeable asset on the black market, allowing for deals to be made.
P.S. Holidays are there for people to relax and recharge their batteries. I go to a seaside town in Portugal - and while I'm there I stay up late, smoke cigars in the patio, listen to music, walk, swim and drink coffee. Its my obligation to myself, not to other people. :)
The Picasso 'artworks' looks like the output from a seriously demented mind to me. I was in London recently and in a small park there was a piece of 'modern art', it most definitely resembled a pile of dog t*rd painted silver. This was in Starmer's constituency... We are being openly mocked.
The Independent article 'Modern art was a CIA Weapon' (22nd October 1995) is worth a read. Its an interesting add on to the topic that youve covered here. Only heard about this CIA op a few weeks ago.
I also went to the Picasso museum in Malaga. I went in thinking he was a Mickey taker but I came out thinking he was actually a very talented artist as can be seen from his earlier work. I do agree though that art is a giant hoax, as can be seen from those pieces of wood you have shown.
Yes I went too! He basically changed his work into those block cartoons. On one hand I understand postmodernism in art/design is very important in its particular ‘energy’ if you know what I mean and does break away from the old overly oppressive religious mould all the societies were in (having said that Picasso ripped off simple African prints) (& yes I’m putting all non classical into the postmodern box of the last 100+ years, maybe not ones like cubism as that’s more it’s own, I won’t get into it though). To expand on that, you can see the difference in current religious/‘third world’(?) design and the western world’s varied art-despite being postmodern and 90% obviously inferior to art such as that of the Italian Renaissance. So from an aesthetic and ‘spiritual’ perspective (well, basically art) I agree with Nigel that the works before are so much better and have so much true art within their forms of being art (only male though, female were overlooked too, so still frmsnry or at least written out of history?). And now I think it’s time we need to move on (which in the genuine part of the art world it may be) to a different form/s of art and energy than the 20th century to peak at early 21st century postmodern one, something that more values the aesthetic and spirituality just like our culture now is changing and becoming deeper again. For instance, a current type of art I think is absolutely amazing is wire art (and even more so when mixed with paint on canvas), I wish that instead got more fame and reception than the tired “postmodern” art. And have you seen videos such as that man who created a portrait by hammering glass? All examples of amazing art/forms that are 90% superior to postmodern!
My view of modern "art" took a 180 degree turn once I understood the psychology of those who finance it, and the same goes for TV, movies, and media. All this celebrated garbage is easy to see through when the spells and witchcraft are no longer effective. Thanks for another quality post, Nigel.

Lol, that’s what I’ve always thought about most of the “fine works of art”. As a tradesperson (Carpenter) if my work looked like like these artists work I would be fired, not admired. You are 100% correct, it’s peasant mockery, gaslighting and hatred towards us scum.
Curiously, Picasso was technically accomplished in the works he produced at the start of his career. Don’t know what drove its subsequent development but it certainly wasn’t divine inspiration, the desire to create or channel something beautiful.
@@nigelwatson2750nigel, you should see the guardian today about how male hillwalkers should not hassle or 'mansplain' female walkers...hilarious woke bull.
Was there 2 weeks ago. Went to Picasso’s birth place, one of his earliest drawing had the single eyes on it. I laughed and thought no getting away from the all seeing eye!
Ive lived in Malaga and surrounds for years. Picasso was a truly awful man and his paintings are indeed a piss take. I refuse to go into that museum if I have visitors. There’s a lovely little bar just opposite the entrance where the wine is fabulous!
From what I can see there was a huge push in the 1960's to make things ugly in the art world along with everything else in the world they were trying to 'uglify'. The odd thing about Picasso is that I've seen his earlier paintings and they were excellent, traditional pieces: so he clearly decided in later years to start painting this rubbish or he was paid to.
Hi Nigel, have been watching you from France for some time now.I love the way you always end with ‘God bless’. Coming back to today’s topic, something that struck me a few years ago is the scribbly tree logo of the Conservatives. I mean… P.S: the red trousers gang exists here too with the same social level as in Surrey. PPS:the Canadian, Jason Christoff, whose field of expertise is mind-control speaks of what he calls ‘uglification’ of buildings, offices etc…as being a deliberate way to keep the masses depressed. God bless!
I've thought the same as you for years when it comes to art . My theory is that Picasso had a pet Baboon that did all the painting for him. I remember in the 1980's an independent film maker did a 'set-up' job by introducing a (bogus) new 'artist' to the New Your scene.. He was a very 'arty' cool looking, introspective type played by an actor and his diabolical paintings were produced by a load of children from an elementary school in Texas. All the 'experts and art critics got completely taken in and hailed this fake artist as the next star of abstract art. The children's paintings sold for $thousands .. It was hilarious, especially when he told them all they'd been completely conned..
Champagne and expensive wine is a similar thing. An association of culture and wealth but really just showing off as would be the case for an expensive painting of a few coloured stripes.
Having went to the same museum a few years back i almost spat out my coffee this morning as we had very similar impressions. I'd never taken much time to look at his art before a friend suggested we go there.
I agree with you, I've always thought that about Picasso. Charlatan. And it's only got worse hasn't it, with unmade beds and brick walls being lauded to the skies by the Arts Nobbling Councils, as Douglas Adams said in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy! Mocking the "peasants"/humiliation rituals indeed.
Picasso was classically trained by his father. I was always dubious until a trip to the Barcelona Picasso Museum. He was quite accomplished with many examples of landscape paintings and other well executed examples of representational art.
I can't believe that people fall for this stuff, I was watching 1984 the other day, and I recall the first time I watched it I thought nobody would ever go along with this rubbish, we have recently experienced a living example and continue to do so. It is the same with many so-called artists, it's just one giant piss-take, but if enough people say something is good most people go along with it, two and two really equal five, hahaha.
This morning in Ireland at 6AM the sky was completely blue at 9AM it was covered in chemtrails the last sunny days we had were in early May, does this happen in Finland Nigel please?
I totally agree! I have always thougt that the real artisk are the ones that can paint a portrait that really looks like the person they paint, or the things they paint because that is really difficult!
A book called 'The Re-enchantment Of Art' by Suzi Gablik explains what you are talking about, who chooses, the reasons, the money making, power and also how to change this sad paradigm art has found itself in. Worth a read.
It's the same with all the junk that has appeared all over the UK. From the 11.5 m Earth Mother Goddess idol in Cornwall to the Floozies in the Jacuzzi in Birmingham and elsewhere. Most regard them with disdain.
Here's another one. Has anyone ever questioned this time zone nonsense. It was apparent nonsense to me last year on our return journey on Le Shuttle. Here are the times on our tickets. Departs Folkestone at 08:50 Journey time 35 mins Arrives in Calais at 10:25 Friday 07 July 2023 Departs Calais at 12:50 Arrives in Folkestone at 12:25 In other words we arrived in Folkestone 25 minutes before we have even left Calais. I said to my wife: this timetable is absolute nonsense. How can we arrive in Folkestone before we have even left Calais yet no one questions it. So, just because there's a strip of water dividing the UK from France they tell us they are in a different time zone. So, if we travel from Folkestone to Glasgow, a much further trip than from Folkestone to Calais, there's no time difference then. They're messing with our heads. Yet everyone accepts this as normal. Unless I'm missing something lol.
France is in the Continental European Timezone, which is one hour ahead of us. Scotland is north of England, which has no real bearing on timezone, which is to do with the rotation of the earth. Timezone is east-west, not north-south.
It's the same MO Creating a need that serves the order followers greed Wether it's the Britneys or an art show Bless your heart Nigel have a great day my sun

I don't agree with Hamer on quite a few things but the behind the façade of Potter stuff has quite a ring of plausabilty about it. Basically it involves the Mitford family and ghostwriters.

Lol, that’s what I’ve always thought about most of the “fine works of art”. As a tradesperson (Carpenter) if my work looked like like these artists work I would be fired, not admired. You are 100% correct, it’s peasant mockery, gaslighting and hatred towards us scum.
Curiously, Picasso was technically accomplished in the works he produced at the start of his career. Don’t know what drove its subsequent development but it certainly wasn’t divine inspiration, the desire to create or channel something beautiful.
Are the locals collecting for bonfire night nigel! 😂
At least it would be of some use - LMFAO

Quality!
Was there 2 weeks ago. Went to Picasso’s birth place, one of his earliest drawing had the single eyes on it. I laughed and thought no getting away from the all seeing eye!
Fine art for me is just about money laundering and being able to move vast amounts of money around the elites.
Same as the Banksy shite 😂😂😂
There is a shopping reciept from Coop framed on the wall in the TAT modern in London - a true masterpiece
How long till Pablo Picasso looks like the double of David lammy in history books.
Yes that bit of wood set-up they called a sculpture is pure peasant mockery.
Ive lived in Malaga and surrounds for years. Picasso was a truly awful man and his paintings are indeed a piss take. I refuse to go into that museum if I have visitors. There’s a lovely little bar just opposite the entrance where the wine is fabulous!
From what I can see there was a huge push in the 1960's to make things ugly in the art world along with everything else in the world they were trying to 'uglify'. The odd thing about Picasso is that I've seen his earlier paintings and they were excellent, traditional pieces: so he clearly decided in later years to start painting this rubbish or he was paid to.
A fair assessment.
Hi Nigel, have been watching you from France for some time now.I love the way you always end with ‘God bless’. Coming back to today’s topic, something that struck me a few years ago is the scribbly tree logo of the Conservatives. I mean…
P.S: the red trousers gang exists here too with the same social level as in Surrey.
PPS:the Canadian, Jason Christoff, whose field of expertise is mind-control speaks of what he calls ‘uglification’ of buildings, offices etc…as being a deliberate way to keep the masses depressed. God bless!
The Red Trouser gang in France are mostly British, no?
@@nigelwatson2750the ones I’ve observed are French. Maybe it’s a city thing as I live in Lyon.
And I thought "the kings new clothes" was just a child's bedtime story.
No, it’s a documentary.
I've thought the same as you for years when it comes to art . My theory is that Picasso had a pet Baboon that did all the painting for him. I remember in the 1980's an independent film maker did a 'set-up' job by introducing a (bogus) new 'artist' to the New Your scene.. He was a very 'arty' cool looking, introspective type played by an actor and his diabolical paintings were produced by a load of children from an elementary school in Texas. All the 'experts and art critics got completely taken in and hailed this fake artist as the next star of abstract art. The children's paintings sold for $thousands .. It was hilarious, especially when he told them all they'd been completely conned..
They've done it with the buildings so why not do it with art 🤷🏼♂️
Yes.
govern-to guide or control...ment-the mind.
That sculpture 🤣🤣🤣
Champagne and expensive wine is a similar thing. An association of culture and wealth but really just showing off as would be the case for an expensive painting of a few coloured stripes.
Big time
Our Tracy 'of the p'd on bed' has been enobled 😂
Agree 💯 percent. The club of hiding hands.
Art is like charity's just money laundering
100%, and these days, governments fund both money laundering activities using tax, i.e. our money.
If those grotesgue things are "sculpture" then I am Michaelangelo!
Having went to the same museum a few years back i almost spat out my coffee this morning as we had very similar impressions. I'd never taken much time to look at his art before a friend suggested we go there.
On point ! . Been thinking the same for long time about plenty they try to feed [us].
I agree with you, I've always thought that about Picasso. Charlatan. And it's only got worse hasn't it, with unmade beds and brick walls being lauded to the skies by the Arts Nobbling Councils, as Douglas Adams said in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy! Mocking the "peasants"/humiliation rituals indeed.
This is brilliant. What an amazing truth drop session. It's strange to be awake to this insanity, which is actually obvious if you just pay attention.
Picasso was classically trained by his father. I was always dubious until a trip to the Barcelona Picasso Museum. He was quite accomplished with many examples of landscape paintings and other well executed examples of representational art.
I was there at that museum in 2006/2007 with fellow students at the local Spanish language academy.
We all thought it was rubbish.
100% Agree....😂😂😂
I can't believe that people fall for this stuff, I was watching 1984 the other day, and I recall the first time I watched it I thought nobody would ever go along with this rubbish, we have recently experienced a living example and continue to do so.
It is the same with many so-called artists, it's just one giant piss-take, but if enough people say something is good most people go along with it, two and two really equal five, hahaha.
I haven’t watched 1984 and have seen it is free to view on Amazon Prime so I plan to watch it this weekend. Thanks for the tip 👍
This morning in Ireland at 6AM the sky was completely blue at 9AM it was covered in chemtrails the last sunny days we had were in early May, does this happen in Finland Nigel please?
I don't film until the afternoon. Have you seen my video on trails in the sky? It's easily found on my channel
Thank you@@nigelwatson2750 i'll have look.
Same in York
I totally agree! I have always thougt that the real artisk are the ones that can paint a portrait that really looks like the person they paint, or the things they paint because that is really difficult!
i would say your son's art is pretty good next to a picasso, maybe even better
"Urban intellectuals from Putney"! 😂
They wear red trousers, 100%, agreed.
A book called 'The Re-enchantment Of Art' by Suzi Gablik explains what you are talking about, who chooses, the reasons, the money making, power and also how to change this sad paradigm art has found itself in. Worth a read.
I think you are bang on there Nigel , good stuff 👍
Expensive wines also bullshi .
It's the same with all the junk that has appeared all over the UK. From the 11.5 m Earth Mother Goddess idol in Cornwall to the Floozies in the Jacuzzi in Birmingham and elsewhere. Most regard them with disdain.
Thanks Nigel
I’ve always thought some of this modern art looks like they are on drugs when do their ‘art’ … not something I’d want to look at more than once …
Here's another one. Has anyone ever questioned this time zone nonsense. It was apparent nonsense to me last year on our return journey on Le Shuttle. Here are the times on our tickets.
Departs Folkestone at 08:50
Journey time 35 mins
Arrives in Calais at 10:25
Friday 07 July 2023
Departs Calais at 12:50
Arrives in Folkestone at 12:25
In other words we arrived in Folkestone 25 minutes before we have even left Calais. I said to my wife: this timetable is absolute nonsense. How can we arrive in Folkestone before we have even left Calais yet no one questions it. So, just because there's a strip of water dividing the UK from France they tell us they are in a different time zone. So, if we travel from Folkestone to Glasgow, a much further trip than from Folkestone to Calais, there's no time difference then. They're messing with our heads.
Yet everyone accepts this as normal. Unless I'm missing something lol.
Belive this is something to do with money loundering as well
France is in the Continental European Timezone, which is one hour ahead of us. Scotland is north of England, which has no real bearing on timezone, which is to do with the rotation of the earth. Timezone is east-west, not north-south.
@@JohnHughes2002 Really, ha ha. You've convinced me - NOT.
@@JohnHughes2002 The Earth rotates? Never felt it, no instrument has ever recorded it. Fly East to West or West to East, takes same length of time.
It's the same MO Creating a need that serves the order followers greed Wether it's the Britneys or an art show Bless your heart Nigel have a great day my sun
Hahaha something for the birds an dogs to piss on
