Hmm. I do like the work of the women surrealists I have seen. It has a more feminine touch (naturally), which makes it more accessible, in my mind. Also, M.C. Escher.

Hello, culture thread. I thought I would stop by and see what's going on in here.
|
Good stuff is brewing, Xeno!
I must ask, even if a titch rude... Are you truly xenophobic? I must say, I tend towards the philic side... |
No, I am not actually Xenophobic. I made this username before I knew the meaning of the name, and now I go by "Xeno" which can mean "strange." I'd prefer to think of myself as strange. Also, I love foreign cultures and countries, so I suppose my username is ironic.
|
Irony! Capital.
I am an aficionado of things strange and foreign myself, so you are quite welcome here ^.^ My familiarity with the word really has more basis in the colourful writings of Xenophon. Addendum to Cherry's question: Also Magritte! How could I forget him! |
Hi, Xeno!
Biggles - Not a fan of men's surrealist paintings? |
well, like I said, Magritte. And Dali is fun in at least his conceptions. But I do seem to prefer the woman's work of that movement.
|
I like Dali's work, but I'm a... novice art viewer? :lol:
I just tend to like anything surreal. Painting, photography, humor.... |
Haha, I did think of mentioning the humour angle earlier. But you already know were I stand on that. =3
|
Considering your love of Boosh, I'd say you're a fan! :lol:
|
You catch on quick, grasshopper.
|
*cough* We're really terrible at having refined discussions, aren't we? I blame myself, partly. I only intended to watch on as other, more scholarly people discussed the finer things, so that I might learn. I wasn't prepared to have to actively participate in order to keep this alive. I mean, honestly, why wouldn't an online message board dedicated to dressing up little dolls be teeming with the greatest minds of our time? Where are the Ph.Ds?!
|
Well, I certainly appreciate the effort. One can't be 'on' all the time, fancy topic wise. I don't know, perhaps the debate forum would yield a few interested parties. They seem keen on long, scholarly posting opportunities.
|
Mm... not really... I know why you'd think that, but... Not really. :lol:
|
Hm. The ones that I've run into seem to. Well, the ones worthy of remembering anyway.
|
Well... I suppose you're right... buuuut... it's not a forum we want to emulate. :lol:
|
Ah, now that we can agree upon.
Maybe it's just the whole internet thing. It shortens attention spans and encourages memes. And Pron. |
"I CAN HAZ PR0N???" :/
Maybe sig links would be good for advertising. I could help you with the front page some if you'd like. |

I was just gonna change the order of the stuff in the first post to give it a tidier appearance.
|
I see. What do you recommend?

Looks good!
|
I thought so. Gorey comes through once again!
|
Of course! I really like his drawings.
|
Yeah, I like his work. Plus it was in keeping with the whole Monocromatic illustration thing we've got going on.
