In the broadest sense, of course it is. As you can see from the man in the background, this is a sculpture of some kind of a pig-god. (By Chinese artist Chen Wenling.) See all the little red piggies worshiping? I suppose in 3-dimensions it's pretty scary, but the photo makes me laugh. As my mom used to say, "It's so ugly, it's cute!" [okay--as Sarah Bruce commented, "cute" is a stretch.] Believe it or not, I found it on the Drudge Report!!
Great way to start a new week, huh?
If you're looking at this before bedtime, sweet dreams!
Gross. I don't always understand art and I don't understand this so I guess I would consider it art.....but I don't see anything cute about it. Yuck is actually the word that comes to mind....maybe "creepy" also.
ReplyDeleteThis, quite literally, is probably the most grotesque thing I've ever seen. Admittedly, when I first opened your blog, my words were, "What the hell is that?!" It's disturbing....really.
ReplyDeleteThis the most horrible thing I have seen in a long time. Remember, I have toddlers and we are still in diapers...so I have seen some ugly stuff recently...I wonder if it smells too. It is not art!
ReplyDeleteI think it is pretty. Okay, obviously not....that's gross
