stenAandenNever been an art fan in my life. This street art makes me emotional
OnomatopoeiaWow, that’s a new idea! Wish I’d thought of it!
(Yes, that’s sarcasm, and juvenile crap like this is why I think most art is garbage).
Pow that opinion goes right in the bin.
This one is worse. Are we shaming people for giving honest feedback? is that how we foster discussion? Is it not enough that he got negative feedback? Must you grind your heel in his face because his taste in art is not the same as yours?
TrickDacyLmao the idea you want us to accept is "if we cannot seriously engage with rage baiting trolls who express the opinion that ‘all art is shitty’ then we have lost our very souls!! Oh, the humanity!!’
Sorry you ibterpret that as rage baiting trolling.
“Hurr surr stop wars” is juvenile crap, full stop.
As if no one has ever thought of this before.
Calling it art and acting like everyone should agree with that is nothing but Emperor’s New Clothes.
A well-made axe is art. A beautifully designed house is art. A surgeon replacing your wife’s liver is art. An wide reciever stretching his fingertips and dragging a foot for a win in overtime is art.
It’s all art, my friend. We take a skill and get better. We get so good that people stop and look. I used to be a painter. The blue collar, white ceilings with a roller kind of painter. I was not an artist. My boss, he could cut a freehand line so straight and level you’d think he’d used tape on the wall. Nope, just good at his job. An artist.
But spray paint on a rock wall?! That’s fucking DIFFICULT. Extreme challenge. My boss couldn’t paint that on his very best day. There would be overrun, splatter. The wispy little hair on Yoda’s head would look like Charlie Brown or Homer Simpson.
….
Ok, I think they’re all gone now. Just between you and I, this is absolute garbage, 100% agree with you - but probably for different reasons.
Yoda is a soldier. He’s not just a grunt, either. He symbolizes conflict and war. He is the hero of a movie franchise called Star Wars. It’s literally a blockbuster movie about war. Glorifying war. So I feel that the artist made a horrible choice artistic choice in using Star Wars as a play on Stop Wars.
The concepts bump, making it an uncomfortable moment. Like a child who proudly presents you a picture of a violent scene drawn messily in crayon. You want to match their energy, but you’re lk wondering if the little idiot is just messing with you.

Like all the anti-war movies whose main characters are soldiers? That’s a shallow point of view if I’ve ever read one.
Yoda saw the fall of the democratic nation he wanted to protect, the rise of a fascist empire, and lost everybody he ever knew and cherished along the way, only to end up as a bitter hermit in a swamp. Soldiers are victims too, even if they don’t die in a war.
