I for one think the photo of the child in the dough is a fantastic shot, and although it’s a personal taste, I applaud this photographer for doing something different!

This is the typical person tyring to be artsy, which it totally isn’t. With modern art, the line between art and stupid is very thin, this definitely crossed it!

I love the diptych of the lady and the child! 5th one down! The rest aren’t too strong, but I’ve seen far worse. I’d love to read the artist statement though…I’m sure it would be interesting.

yeah…they do get paid. Although I wouldn’t pay for this post, I’d send a bill.

Not a fan.

Not a fan of contemporary art generally – but you can sometimes tell that someone has put some thought into it (too much for me sometimes) – but on other occasions - much less so.

For me, there HAS to be a line, just like in all things. I believe in expression, but today, there is an overwhelming use of “art” as a catalyst to be complete and utter morons just to get away with it. To me it falls with people with power and money creating at and getting rich off nothing more than there total lack of understanding of how art works in the brain. Does it help society or hurt it? Does it even express anything, or does it make the mindless primeval part of your brain think random thoughts to fill the void? The Mona Lisa is art for a reason, this is pizza dough on somebodies head, with no consistency in character, color, emotion, subject, lighting, nothing, it evokes no proper emotion. I’m personally insulted by things like this. Why? Who am I to say that? Simple, there is a line, when it’s crossed it becomes insulting to the form itself. (That being artwork as a form and function whether it be a hobby or a profession) I’m be no means saying art is only one thing and isn’t expressive, it is in fact just that. But all things follow a natural balance even if it allows for new and interesting approaches, but this is plain and simple dough on somebodies head, if it’s art, it’s art from a 3rd grader because that is the level of thought approach and understanding for this “subject.”

I don’t know if this is art or not, but it really makes me hungry.

The idea MAY have had potential if it had been executed much better but the biggest problem is that the photography itself is just plain TERRIBLE! These are just snapshots that anyone could have gotten with a point-and-shoot camera. No attention to lighting at all. And they could have posed the subjects in a way to help convey the message but these are just people standing around with dow on their heads! Very poorly executed and very half-assed!
