The Bonfire II

~riette Tue, Aug 18, 1998 (06:40) seed

As you might have noticed a rather annoying little problem is occurring in the BONFIRE, making it impossible to respond, and so I've decided to make a little sister for it. And to light her up: Francis Bacon (1909-1992) 'Painting' 1971 - second version (though the first is just as bad) 198cm x 147cm I mean, I'm sure there is a deeper meaning behind all this, but when a painting looks like this, I don't even want to bother to find out.

What happened? What problem?

I loaded an image there, which looked fine in inference.com. But once it got here, it just never managed to load, even though it didn't show the little 'x' sign either. Which in turn meant that the response box couldn't appear, because the computer was loading nothing the whole time, with nothing happening. Obviously not getting quite as good with this as I thought....

I say we burn the first version as well, even though I've never seen it. It's just a feeling.

Oh, it's pretty much as ugly as the other.

Alexander Exeter (1882-1949) 'Still Life' STILL LIFE? I don't think so!!!

WE ALL THOROUGHLY AGREE WITH YOU, ZOE! Amazing how there are artists who never figure art out.

And, straight from the museum of bad Art (thank you, Terry!!), here is an astonishingly bad one! Isn't it just adorably ugly? It seems almost a shame to burn it!

And, straight from the museum of bad Art (thank you, Terry!!), here is an astonishingly bad one! Unknown artist 'Lucy in the field with Flowers' Isn't it just adorably ugly? It seems almost a shame to burn it!

yeah, just smoke that one up a bit. What a concept, the museum of bad art!

~wolf Fri, Aug 28, 1998 (18:22) #15

now the concept is good, but that's about it....

Yeah! Hilarious site though - I was laughing my HEAD off last night. There's one of an 'athlete' that I must post in here too. A shortish, fattish male subject matter, holding a disc, and posing like a Roman athlete. It was SO funny!

I'd like to see the above artist's rendition of Lucy in the sky with diamonds!

~riette Mon, Aug 31, 1998 (01:24) #18

I know! Hope none of the Beatles tune in here - they'd be mighty offended!
