as an artist, i vote music as the better! well depends on whether you're talking about art created before the postmodern era or now. basically i think that art today is absolute rubbish, based on what we learn in painting at uni- it's just do what you like experiment with materials as much as possible and bugger all to technique. thus creating lazy artists who can't actually be bothered painting anything realistic and ruins the whole concept of an artist being someone who is gifted in the art of painting realistic images. it's stupid. i feel like it's not even worth doing because talent doesn't count any more in the art world. a bit harsh maybe? too bad. music (classical at least) is still generally based on talent, cos if you don't have the technique and musicality you're not going to get very far. it's just better!

Ellsworth Kelly comes to mind for his 'minimalistic' creations
I think you have a slight misperception of an artist, as one being able to create a painting that looks realistic. This is actually not the more difficult aspect of drawing (nor the most artistic!) but it is creating something different and exciting where true artistry can emerge. It is true, however, how absurd some artists take their experimentation... Ellsworth Kelly comes to mind for his 'minimalistic' creations (basically a dot and/or circle on a blank canvas), analogous to John Cage for the piano repertory. [/img]
What do you think of minimalism in music? As someone who recently took part in a performance of Steve Reich's 6 pianos I would be interested to see what you all think.
experimental modern music, that's fine provided they've made the effort to learn about composition in the past and the conventional terms so they actually have some kind of knowledge in the area. same as art.
Mystras by Stavros Kantzikis.I find this painting almost musical.
i find light/shade affect the most important element in painting/drawing.
it is exactly like rhythm in music.
What do you mean the light/shade affect speaks to the bone ?
