I hate art.

I love art. Really. I have been asked why my blog is called ‘I Hate Art’ many times. The truth is: I do not love all art out there and foremost I am concerned about all those objects that are called art nowadays. I think somebody has to draw a line and say “That is bullshit. That’s not art. I hate it.”

Pablo Picasso and Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) was a German philosopher. In his early work The Birth Of Tragedy Out Of The Spirit Of Music he invents the Apollonian-Dionysian Concept. This concept has great influence ever since in the field of art, literature and philosophy.

This essay is about the interrelations between the Apollonian-Dionysian Idea and the work of Spanish painter Pablo Picasso (1888-1973). Picasso read Nietzsche and was heavily inspired by his work. In this work I wish to visualize Nietzsche’s presence in Picasso’s paintings, especially in his ground-breaking work Les Demoiselles d’Avignon which introduced Primitivism and Cubism and therefore deliberate Abstraction.

Marina Abramovic

Of course I saw the Abramovic show in the MoMA. I mean everybody wanted to see it. Tourists from all over the world stood in line (only the Tim Burton show was even more packed). I was quite impressed by the show. I did not stand in line to participate in her performance, but was utterly blown away by the intensity of her re-enacted performances featured in the show.
