Man-made Art . . .

Oh well.... as Moz says, expanding one's view s or exploring new ideas or experiences can only be a good thing

Chat is just telling the simpletons here that God created everything. 

Nature's beauty often aligns with artistic qualities due to its sheer complexity, symmetry, and awe-inspiring features. The natural world showcases intricate patterns, vibrant colors, and harmonious compositions ie oaks its not random

Rooitwit Science says there was once nothing then the big bang. So are you anti Science then, Hahahahahha a toady like you being anti Science is a turn up for the books. What weird theory do you have then. Lets have a good laugh!

"Rooitwit Science says there was once nothing then the big bang."

Nope. You're not very bright, are you Baboon-ou? Where did I ever say there was once nothing? Huh?

You're either stupid or you're a liar. It's one of the two. I suspect both.

Have you guys heard of this "Claude AI"..

I literally just stumbled across it this morning, and it's quite impressive...

I posed this very same question to Claude AI, only just to see how different it could possibly be from ChatGPT, and to see if it had a different thought process or perspective on the same question I asked ChatGPT and to see if they were similar in design and output.....

Question to Claude AI:

"Can the natural beauty of the worl d and the universe be seen as art"

Claude's response:

Yes, the natural beauty of the world and universe can be viewed as a form of art in several ways:

• Aesthetics - Many natural landscapes, geological formations, plants, animals, and astronomical bodies have very aesthetic, visually-pleasing qualities - symmetries, colors, textures, compositions, etc. These can evoke a sense of awe and appreciation in the same way human-made artworks can.
• Creative process - Nature itself can be viewed as an artist that uses principles of growth, evolution, physics, chemistry and chance to "paint" living artworks and landscapes over long periods of time. The natural world follows creative patterns and processes.
• Emotive qualities - Beautiful aspects of nature often evoke strong emotions in humans - awe, wonder, joy, curiosity, peacefulness, humility. In the same way art aims to connect us more deeply with aspects of the human condition, nature's beauty offers emotional and spiritual connections.
• Subjectivity - The appreciation of natural beauty, like art, is highly subjective to the individual. One person may find a rainy misty landscape to be exquisitely beautiful, while another may see it as dull and monotonous. Beauty is "in the eye of the beholder" in nature as much as art.

So while nature was not created intentionally for aesthetic purposes, many argue its serendipitous beauty and capacity to inspire emotional reactions in us makes it a continually unfolding work of art when viewed through an artistic lens. It displays aesthetics, creative processes, and the capacity to inspire, awe and delight us in artistic ways.

These various responses here tie in quite closely to what Sader and I were trying to say, although these definitions from both AI are a lot more specific and detailed ....

Each to their own, and as I said earlier, I definitely don't think anyone is wrong, I just believe it's all a personal perspective in my opinion.

Ok. I've fixed the heading.

I must confess.... I would never have thought to be interested in someone like Hermann Corrodi, because up until reading this thread, I had never heard of him.... I have just honestly never had the inkling or interest to look at this type of art..

Sheeesh, but that is some impressive paintings ....

"Next time someone talks about the natural beauty of New Zealand I'm gonna say I don't like art."

LMAO!

We are lucky in so many ways…..big swells and offshore winds….who put that in the specs. Hell I remember so many natural wonders, a school of jelly fish occupying square miles…..the McNaught Comet.

I think this is where our connection to English culture had an influence on our awareness ….Keats, Shelley, Wordsworth..

Almond Blossom by Vincent van Gogh . . .

Just stare at it and meditate and everything becomes apparent. .

Kinda broke the thread there, Blobbie.

I've been thinking lately how many younger people I meet that suffer from anxiety, or some perceived mental or social disorder.

And almost without fail hardly any of them have a hobby that doesn't involve a screen. No fitness, no instrument, no art, no adventure.

I have to work on a computer. The amount of anxiety that accumulates in a day by just sitting, sitting and more sitting, dealing with the constant distractions of social media, Youtube, etc. is easily noticeable. When I get up, get out, take a long walk, bit of exercise - immediate improvement. I've even lost much of my appetite for gaming because I realized how much of my life had been consumed by it. I'm far more focused on getting out more, seeing and experiencing. Go lie down in a river or a tide pool by the sea with the water flowing over you and the sunlight soothing you. You feel completely different in just 10 or 20 minutes.

I can imagine how the people, and it's not just young ones, practically living in their phones and on social media have to feel. It's poison - the physical inactivity combined with the constant fatigue that comes from over stimulation of the brain and the mental stress of constant comparison.

Easy to fix of course but only blob can fix it. Just edit the post where you copied and pasted incorrectly (again!), select all and delete. About 3 mouse clicks and two keystrokes.

He believes in suffering a little every day, and I couldn't agree more.

Facts. If you never suffer a little discomfort, you stop appreciating anything good you have going on because it just becomes part of the daily dullness .

I’ll post one of my paintings if somebody reminds me how to get a photo to post.

Not working, sorry if you are interested you’ll just have to go to the Uffizi.

Moz made art…just a bit of whimsy. Thanks Plum, I couldn’t get it to work until you gave me that full html instruction. 

Create a Monalisa as if painted by Monet

Modernist

Mona against the waterlilies. The only trouble with that effort is Monet was very abstract by the time he was painting the water garden. And Mona is clearly defined. Monet’s Mona at that time would have similarly blurred. 

Chat has a lot to learn about art.

Fine...I'll go first...

Well, well, well. Lots of name dropping to impress each other. Mozzie probably wins that one.I suspect he would never like any painting by a guy with a name like Jack Smith. 

Hideous modernist art!!! The rubbish ou Mozzzie has posted! How in the world did the poor guy convince himself this garbage was art! However if you can convince yourself Rassie is a poor coach and du Toit is no good its obviously possible for a certain personality type.

Van Gogh was a very ordinary painter as the blossom painting shows. Of course virtually any old painter can copy Vans primitive art. People loved the life story of Van and it was after his death that his life story came out, his madness, cutting off an ear, the suffering etc and his paintings began to sell. The original Van Gogh was no better than the copy but investors would pay millions for the original. It has zero to do with artistic merit.

Congrats to all who have made this such an amusing thread. 

I do just hope poor Rooitwit isn't going to burst into tears because of some some AI painting. Imagine being reduced to tears by an AI programme.

I will give P akster some credit for posting a real work of art.

Thank you Beeno, as you know I live for your approval.
