Discrimination

sorenbarrett



Splash of paint

stain

to some art

nonreplicable

Mistake?

Smeared

Spoiled?

Improved?

Timeless masterpiece?

Trash?

Repaint?

Art or man

all in the brain

      Do they erase discrimination? Thanks so much for the read and you made me smile with the comment.

      I have one of Pollocks' (as repro of course) on my door. It's Blue Poles (resides here in Australia). It's on its side to harmonise with the form of the door; but I don't believe Pollock would mind,and in my brain (since his isn't here...) it's chaotic rythms do it for me.

        Thanks Dave for the review and interesting comment. I was just made aware of my own discrimination in the writing of this poem. I had intended it as you read it as people's view of what is art or trash but was made aware that it also highlights recent desecration of art works where fluids are thrown on them. So I too am a victim of my own blindness.

          So your response here,Soren was a genteel way of saying I'd missed the point... and having reread I can see where you are coming from (pleeze don't come back and tell me everyone is entitled to their own interpretation - not appreciated 😊).

          Yup, it's art! lol.

            Thanks for the approval Orchi.

            Well I believe it's as simple as taste, each has their own. Having the Uffizi so close I'm spoilt for choice, personally a fabulous angel painting sets my smile beaming. What a wonderful theme. 🌹

              Thanks Teddy yes that was the intended message but as poetry goes others have seen it different and thought it was a protest against vandalism of art. Could be I guess, but you are on the same trail I was. Thanks so much for the review and kind words always appreciated.

                One man's trash is another man's treasure 😉 that in its self is art my friend. 🌹

                Tremendous work.

                Art is what each of us see in a painting soren, we all see different things.

                  And so that is the intended message Andy as we see different things in everything. Thanks so much for the read and comment.
