It's a peasant woman stuck inside a red box?

No, it's a peasant woman in two dimensions, i.e. flattened by a steamroller until all you can see is a red smear.

[Yag Alone]

Erm, one could argue that a self-proclaimed artist who does not know Malevich can't be much of an artist ... *cough*

He did not said he did not know Malevitch, just that he despised his art.
However, praising any overrated artistic concept won't make you an artist either...

The red square would look better if it were on fire.

[MuonDecay]

yeah, but your square wouldnt be ART. 

look at that!  well proportioned, but rugged.  its rough lines but identifyable angles evoke images of the eternal struggle between immaculate geometry and the temptations of decadant non-conformity.

I think we should all take a moment to appreciate Ryo's representation of the masterpiece Abanibel.

That post made me want to barge into LACMA with a can of turpentine and a rag.

also, they didn't really have "pixels" in 1913

Meh, creating images from a compound of multiple small polygons is an ancient concept. Mosaics, needlework, embroidery, etc.

The term pixel may be recent but the conceptual basis of it is millennia old.

There's a reason I can call myself an artist.

I don't know Malevich, nor do I care to. I do know one Marcus Rothko and he's the most pathetic excuse for an artist ever to exist, with the possible exception of his mimickers.

May we stop this bickering now, or will this have to balloon into a pointless debate on bullshit art minimalism?

Yes, I do assemblage. Thanks for noticing.

With the sole exception of two pairs of bell reducers, everything in that piece was salvaged, found or dumped upon me.

That sounds like a pretty interesting way to make art, really (from the artist's standpoint, at the least). Take things you already have or are able to find, and make something totally different from them. Resourcefulness is fun.

That it is.

The one downside is once everyone you know discovers that feeding you random junk = art gets made, your living space is quickly occupied with boxes of detrius. "HERE I FIGURED YOU COULD USE THIS".

I may have to take a year off or something and just process all the raw junk I have... not unlike a bonecrafter locked in with a 70x70 bone stockpile.

Which is apt, because I actually have a few boxes of bones.

... what... kind... of bones? .___.

You didn't happen to have a fell mood, did you? 

[sonerohi]

They are the bones of what used to be Warlord's twin. Now, only a bad thought and some bones...

Not yet, but I'd love to work with a complete skeleton - who knows, maybe human, I hear you can get them cheap in India! - sometime.

Buuuut rightnow I have donations and salvage from restaurants.

ENOUGH OF MY SELF-RAMBLING. This is a thread about MSpaint.

Eh. What the hell is that creature [on the left side of the image] is holding in his hand? 
In fact what creatures are these?
