Crooked painting

I do think that a well arranged interior helps with mental peace. On the other hand, perhaps what is "mental peace" to one person is "chaotic" or "confusing" to another. The best way to explain this is giving an example of the "art" that I have seen here, but I am not sure whether or not you have them on your side of the pond. When some people look at it they just see abstract images. However, when other people look at it they see words. It is due to how you look at the image - some people look at the presence of color and some at the absence of color, so they interpret it differently.

Those that claim that they like abstracts most of them say it because society considers those who like abstracts as being suave. There is so much of make believe in this world. Have you heard of body language that reveals people personalities? Some read books and practice to give a false picture: Here is an article on body language just in case you feel like ....! http://www.wikihow.com/Read-Body-Language

That's what I thought and was doing them a favour by setting it right!But honestly for mental peace don't you think a well arranged interior would play a better role?

READ "even" --sorry for the typo.

I have a fascination for interiors and do notice how others have done up their homes. The emphasis here is not so much about my observation but what people consider as modern art. What is your concept of modern art kala. Do you have anything off the beaten track that one could call modern art as this lady proudly shows off the painting hung so badly in my opinion,and calling it modern art?

Frankly , I don't know what modern art is except that it cannto be deciphered by an untrained eye.Have seen some pictures and paintings[in films also where I could make neither head nor tail of it.So , according to me "What I cannot understand " is "probably modern art ????" Do you know something?--Normally a squint eye,a large ear, a snub nose are considered to be marks of "good luck"[ we used to make fun of this statement saying that if something is out of the way or something not everyone would like to have this "good luck" tag is attached by elders as a compensatory factor.THis was their way of probably uplifting the affected person's morale. Perhaps a similar interpretation can be given to the above.Let her have her delusions after all and you will have to distance yourself from your aesthetic sense for a while.

Or wanting to push that hair out of that teenagers eye??? I know, the hair is one thing, it doesn't bother me, but a painting, wow, it would grind on me..

There are so many things in this world that put me off but I have to go with the flow having no other alternative. If only I had a choice I would for example do away with get togethers that are organised to celebrate events and invite people whom they have not seen for years and years but in order to have a crowd they are included. This no doubt has nothing to do with the topic but does have relevance in that to be 'in' what people do.

Can you imagine me sitting there and looking at that painting on the wall that needs to be straightened and what else could I do but get up and do it myself just to be put back in its original positon calling it modern art It is like these youngsters doing anything that is 'in' no matter how uncomfortable their choices could be!

So if I take a really old painting and add a few "unwanted lines" on it ... say crayon marks, for example ... then would it be considered "modern art" rather than a "ruined painting"? Also, do all moral-less modern people like modern art?

Your response really shows what you think about modern art! Just one line and you have said enough!

@allknowing..It's simple I just used modern responding ..... @purple....No not at all in that case it will be considered as codes..Pls Ref:Davincci Code... And if I take your words literary everything you draw can be regarded as modern as you have six pack abs and it is a sign of modern people in old days people have one big pack.
