Offending works of art?



It's been a while since i created this blog, but i never really got around to updating and now is the time! I have been working on a project for a while regarding offending works of art and i would appreciate it if you could leave your comments in order to help advance my work. Anyone familiar with Dejeuner sur L'herbe and finds it offensive, and how about Tracy Emins work My Bed? I am curious to find out how people's nature and character affects the way a painting is read. Do find the time to leave your comment :)

  1. i dont think its offending, i think the angle from which the artist is picturing the image is different.
    Its imperfect,like reality.Nothing is ever perfect enough.The undone bed,shuffled bedsheets,trash,shows perhaps she's been through a bad phase and thats her of sort of,communicating in a sense.The art is unconventional, but thats exactly what art really is.
    It shows the aspect of the imperfect life,a piece of which we all have:)

  3. parallel lives runnin parallel wit u, to the points where our horizons divide, my opinion is just a point of view and your position is on the other side....side by side, divided they stand. We can accept our differences, but we can always disagree

  4. I dont know if we should talk of the post-modern artist in regard to the first picture.I feel the artist there is conveying things in a realistic way, without any artifice.Non-conformist and crude in her approach and at the same time depicting a state of mind.It seems to me that the whole of the iceberg is painted here, with the bed and the carpet..I am wondering why the 'puppy' is nicely located on the tidiest part of the framework.It's like "live and let live''.
