No, I just relate to Entartete Kunst for many reasons and I love the subversiveness of using it as a description for what I do.

Sexually explicit sickness....that you call art....I am not inducing a talk...we are just too uncivilised to match your sanity...we dont have such high tastes.

... But yet you comment AND look!!!
I don't hide from what I find beautiful, I embrace it ... And I find beauty all around me ... even in death, sex and decay.
It's civilisation that is skin deep, not beauty ... because I find beauty even in the depth of life's bowls ... and almost every day I see how easily people become animals.

You place a difference between people and animals What is beauty for definition's sake, you must be knowing it if you seek it?

It's best to show you what I find beautiful ... something shouldn't be explained. I could define what I think it is, but it'll take quite some time ... and I'm busy.

If I am walking through a road and if I see dog poop on the side, I dont stop and lick it...I walk my way...matter of preference!!

Good for you ... you seem like the kind of person who doesn't know the difference between food and shit.
If anything your analogy shows your inability to understand art ... I love how you compare my work to "dog poop" (love that word ... Poop!).
I enjoy talking to trolls like you occasionally ... an enjoyable distraction from all the positive comments. Thanks.
BTW, I will resist the temptation to comment on your work.

You want to win the debate isn't it? I give it to you in charity...How much, how long...I have no intention to insult you, nor any desire to get your comments on my work...your last tact reveals how much of an artist you really are...artist of ego...congratulations!! I called you an artist after all.

Dr-Benway In reply to WelPruvNothingToLose [2011-11-08 07:45:16 +0000 UTC]
LOL! Thanks ... I know what I am ... and why I do what I do. I work hard at what I do ... and I'm proud of that. Anyone that knows me, knows how sincere I am as an artist.
I don't need to win the debate, I believe in my work. I know your opinion is subjective and I have a very good idea of where you're coming from ... after all, your comments expose you.
You've already insulted me through insulting my work but it means very little to me ... I'm just enjoying the debate. Feel free to continue.

I am not coming from anywhere, nor going anywhere...I am a watcher, watching you too...as we move we turn stones, so are you also doing..so am I, we cannot escape or skip that as time goes on...

Though it's pretty, it's a convoluted way of saying very little in regards to what we're talking about. You do come from 'someplace' ... an opinion. Your past taints the way you see things and what you say. This is relevant to the discussion. Let's stick to the topic and talk straight.

WelPruvNothingToLose In reply to Dr-Benway [2011-11-09 04:04:44 +0000 UTC]
I am not bonded to any discussion or "ganging up"...talking/arguing more does not do any good. My past? I consider all the history in eternity as my past and all that will come as my future. Why measure just an iota of that infinite span? Before being subjective in criticism you should keep in mind that your present will taint the way you make your place in the future. What is the long term significance of saying "you come from some-place, I come from some" Was it the same 10000 years ago when both you and I came from the same place but parted in the process of turning stones on the beach of this universe and time...Man is a seeker, and change is the law of nature.

Ah, yeah ... okay ... Now you're totally off the topic. I get what you're saying, but it's not relevant. Relevance is important in a discussion and a 1000 years ago is not relevant to your opinion of my art.
You're right though, you're not bounded up to this discussion ... Go and I hope you have a great future. And please try not to be too judgemental of other people because they're different from you ... try not be so easily offended.
