How do you spell "bullshit" in French?

[removed account4]

I'd like to see it in person. I think, based on its size, it would be interesting to view from different distances. From monochrome to colors and back.

I'm always amazed by how many "arbiters" of acceptable art come out whenever there's a post about a successful photographer. It may not be to your liking, but calling something shit really reeks of something else.

The curator needs more puppies if he's to be taken seriously. Puppies, sunsets, pictures of leathery old dudes, and 20 x 16 prints of mountains with a moon at the back. At least you can tell what those are, and get right up to them to see if they're sharp, which is the only way of telling if the photographer is serious about his craft.

Normally I find myself in agreement with you, blockend, but on this occasion it's clear you have no idea what you are talking about.

In serious and informed discussions of these issues, the interlocutors should be fully aware that kittens are a measure of the moral good of a photograph, not puppies.

Kittens.

According to Google translate the spelling you want is:

Connerie

Kittens.

Kittens sit high on the moral index, but homeless people with puppies are the best evidence of the moral character of the photographer. A homeless person with a lurcher pup on piece of string in a shopping precinct playing a tin whistle while a well dressed lady ignores them shows,
correct use of contrast
sharpness in lines per millimetre
separation between subject and background
the ability to photograph on brief
a social conscience

Absolute moral good requires vignetting, the use of sepia and a watermark across the middle to identify the photographer. None of which an abstract Autochrome delivers on, proving it to be a work of moral degeneracy, or worse, lacking corner to corner sharpness.

connerie

And good money was spent on this connerie?

According to Google translate the spelling you want is:

Connerie

That is what I said.

debile, nulle both mean foolishness, as well as connerie

sharpness in lines per millimetre

This point could be enforced further by providing free-to-use magnifiers at gallery/exhibition entrance. Even better, they could be mandatory. You don't get to enter if you don't take a magnifier, too.

The millions of people who pass through art galleries might disagree.

Yes, it gives the majority the idea of what should be "art" according to the official and subsidized definition. Also, it create the wrong sentiment that "culture" is a state (or region or city, you name it) matter instead of a citizen matter.

The sentiment is not wrong, I believe that is just your opinion. I believe the opposite is true. Art and culture are and always has been personal, religious and state matters. Fortunately, there is nothing in the US Constitution, nor in any state constitutions as far as I know, that bans government from participating in the Arts (providing funding, maintain galleries, etc.). Art belongs in the schools, public spaces and in all parts of our lives. I am glad some of my tax money goes to the arts.

In the recent past, it has been the conservative factions in Congress that have threatened to cut art funding when they see it spent on art they do not approve of...art that challenges how culture is defined, art that challenges the status quo, art that challenges religious concepts. This flies 180 degrees from what you stated. Art belongs to everyone, and should not be just defined by the market or by Congress.

+1 (modified where required for your jurisdiction).

In addition, support of the arts is support for artists. In many cases, the marketplace does a poor job of supporting people who enrich our lives immensely.
