How is that possible? I just open a book and read. Is meeting it on its own terms thinking about it a different way, or is it thinking about the way the artist intended it to be read? I don't know... But if you have to read a comic the way the artist intended it and not the way that it is, then that comic if a bad comic. If you need to know more than what the book is telling you just to enjoy the work, then that artist isn't executing his art very well. I'd rather not have to read an interview about the intent of the artist just to enjoy the art.AJAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26686964.post-18564223221905914682012-01-18T12:53:14.738-08:002012-01-18T12:53:14.738-08:00Ok Adam.

A bit of pop can be great pop. But it makes for sucky classical, eh? And this is ironic and that isn't and the intent and knowing the direction they were headed changes things. <br /><br />There are books I couldn't read until I worked out how to see the book the way the author WANTED ME TO, not the way I TRIED TO see them. And once I did they became some of my fave books ever. <br /><br />I don't see the problem of meeting art of any sort on it's own terms.Adam P.

Curse you blogger!<br /><br />Max you're right - I'm not rich!<br /><br />AJA, I feel like that "repurposing something trashy" is such a fine art troupe by now. But I agree about Koons, this is an interesting article (with an even better comments section) in the Economist: http://www.economist.com/blogs/prospero/2012/01/damien-hirst?sort=3#sort-commentsnatschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06257565493730953291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26686964.post-85893712229404560812012-01-09T16:20:17.700-08:002012-01-09T16:20:17.700-08:00I agree, it is pretty disheartening to hear about ...I agree, it is pretty disheartening to hear about the integration of the fine art world and the world of comics. But I try not to worry about it. I mean, in the fine art world, there are still people making great art(though sometimes, they are overshadowed by people like Jeff Koons.)<br /><br />By the way, I don't think Dash Shaw is trying to do high concept art. If he was, he wouldn't be adapting a trashy reality television show.AJAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26686964.post-85405601771354656272012-01-08T23:50:13.598-08:002012-01-08T23:50:13.598-08:00A very thoughtful post, Nathan.
