Balkins for the win! No contest!

Your rhetoric is more graceful and persuasive than any Roman orator or Greek philosopher.

Oh Rick.

Art Fair Paris is a for-profit, non-juried street fair.  Galleries pay for an "invitation" to display their most palatable-to-tourists dreck (think big-eyed stylized Native American children, and misshapen clay vases on orange tables), and the tourists can feel good going home and saying they bought a painting "at" the Louvre without clarifying that "at" means "at a street fair in vague proximity to".  Plus the artist in question is more famous for starting forest fires than for his painting.

Aspire to higher role models.

poop is a piece of poop and never fails to be a poop. in fact, he is so poop, he named himself poop to remind himself that he is a poop at all times. he simply counts 8...7..6 and poops. his work has poop written all over it and has no form. his basement is full of poop. diarrhea all the way. crap.

Threesleeve,

At the louvre was literally there at it not just in some place in Paris. Anyway, regardless, the artist is internationally recognizes not jut for the Louvre. Royal Nebeker is/was/well still is one of the most notable contemporary artists. Royal Nebeker isn't just a street artist. Maybe do yourself a favor and know what you are talking about. Since you are talking about 'starting forest fires'. Sorry but just because google makes a few vague reference to something that happened a short time before he passed away. His fatigue that was the situation had more to do with cancer that he had at the time. The artist is more known in the art community than that. 

You're not an artist. You aspire to be one but produce crap and still paid less and get recognized less than an artist.

His style is an expressionistic and impressionistic and symbolist. It is hard to place Royal Nebeker to a precise art style. 

You might want know more about the artist and his work and career as an artist over his lifetime than a brief media news.

While that brief local media news in 2014 about a car accident that lead to a very small brush fire fades, the artist's recognition as an artist and his work will stand in recognition for a lot longer.

What is the story the artist is telling in each of these paintings?

That's worthy of actual research and thinking. Cite your sources. Make your supporting argument. There isn't necessary an absolute right answer I can confer to you but there are some obvious wrong answers which should be avoided and you guys know what I mean.

Olaf, 

Royal Nebeker doesn't follow a particular 'style'. He draws principles from multiple 'styles'. He doesn't fit a text book artist of a particular 'style'. That's why it is hard to express in categorical terms what style of artist Royal Nebeker was.

You're writing, so yes. Albeit its kind of crappy because you are stuck in a fuck head attitude trying to get rid of me. Don't you know you can't prevent me from accessing this site. I know how to circumvent them.

Go answer the question with regards to the paintings examples above.

That's interesting Rick - I wasn't talking about the incident shortly before he passed away - I didn't even know about that one.  I didn't google him - I was talking about the ones in the 80s.  Perhaps that recent one was attributable to fatigue - but how many people start multiple forest fires in their lives? 

I imagine it's debatable whether anyone is an artist.  I don't claim to be one, though my work (yes my work for which I am wholly and personally responsible) is in the permanent collections of a handful of museums and published in a handful of books.

Threesleeve,

You say he started a fire in the 1980s. Where's your source on that one? Can you cite the source on that one?

I don't know anything about the forest fire in the 1980s. I do respect the artist's work as an artist and teacher. Does this mean I want to be him? No.

I can't even find vague reference to him in any association with any brush fires, forest fires, etc. As for how often a small brush fire maybe started isn't necessarily going to be that uncommon in an areas that is quite a bit wooded area. You do realize that the wooded areas aren't that uncommon even in Astoria or neighboring communities.

Can you cite your sources at the very least.

I'm willing to read these sources, I'm willing to look at it. Show me your source. (I am not interested in a source behind some f---ing subscription pay wall. I respect the artist as an artist and as a professor. It doesn't mean I want to be him. Everyone lives their own lives. I won't stand for baseless accusation unless there is validity to it and cited. I'm not claiming the guy was perfect.

What's an artist?

What does a dictionary define as an artist?

https://www.google.com/#q=artist+definition

"a person who produces paintings or drawings as a profession or hobby."

or

Dictionary.com:

noun

1. a person who produces works in any of the arts that are primarily subject to aesthetic criteria.

2. a person who practices one of the fine arts, especially a painter orsculptor.

3. a person whose trade or profession requires a knowledge of design,drawing, painting, etc.

or

http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/artist

such as: A person who produces paintings or drawings as a profession or hobby.

There are many interpretation and viewpoints on what is or who is an artist from little known to very well respected/regarded. By the quoted definitions, we (you..me... and everyone here can fit that definition). Whether we are practicing fine art or applied art is up to each of us.

I imagine it's debatable whether anyone is an artist.  I don't claim to be one, though my work (yes my work for which I am wholly and personally responsible) is in the permanent collections of a handful of museums and published in a handful of books.  

 

You and me are probably alike to some degree. We both don't really use the term 'artist' to define what we do. I will nonetheless congratulate you for having some of your work in permanent collections in a handful of museums and published in a handful of books. Royal has to. I never really pursued the gallery scene and museums. It's not that I couldn't ever but I'm not into doing that so much. 

You should recognize that it is reasonable for me to expect some backing of claims that you made.

Move over Sister Wendy! Rick the Renaissance man Balkins is in town! Balkins baby don't let the world tell you what's art and what isn't. You are the splash of color this gray forum longs for.

I just want Threesleeve to understand the implication made of starting forest fires and how serious that one is. It's one of those things that needs to be backed with credible source that can be looked at. He should understand the geography of the area, too!

What Rick is trying to say is that his forum posting is performance art. Art isn't necessarily the object itself, but the feeling it inspires within you, so on that note Rick's done a hell of a job.

Maybe Rick should move to another country where his art could be appreciated.

France perhaps, they think Jerry Lewis is a genius.
