Mondrain doesn't qualify.  Something has to be "art" before it can be "bad art." :mellow:

I'm glad you didn't say Mondrain. <_<

[grumbler]I don't know who this "Mondrain" you guys are talking about, but Piet Mondrian is a modern artist who likes to draw lines and boxes. [/grumbler]

They must have large collections of Warhol, Dali, and Lichtenstein!
One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong....

At the very least Dali had technical skill up the wazoo.

Lichtenstein was actually fascinating though.

So is infanticide.  Your point?  I think it is hard to argue that he was an especially creative or talented artist.

At the very least Dali had technical skill up the wazoo.

Towards the end (well, middle) of his career Dali cranked out a number of uninspired and mediocre works.  That might be what Habs means.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Good fix.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Warhol's prints are much more artistic?

Isn't that kind of implied by the term "modern artist?" :shifty:

:bleeding:

Dali had at the very least *technical skill* that Lichtenstein could never even imagine.  That's just fucking tasteless.

:huh:

How?  Unless you are talking late-mid period Dali exclusively I see no grounds at all for comparison.  I'm not a big fan of Dali (prefer earlier Surrealists), but I think even the must casual observer has to admit that the guy had rare talent.  The guy could really fucking paint.  Liechtenstein couldn't even copy worth a crap.
