THAT, my friends, is art. "I suffered for my art, now it's your turn"

It was a combination of my warped sense of humour and probably waiting for some gratuitous praise in the way of defense for the example of Western Art I provided. As you might gather, it wasn't painted by a professional artist I painted it about 10 years ago.

Or your Freudian period? Shocked

Very nice.

No, it's from my 'cheap do it yourself art' period. Roll Eyes

I just wander how much CULTURE is needed to put few (thousands) dots on whatever media?

Are you ethnic Chinese? If you are, isn't calligraphy a revered Chinese art form... Just a few brush strokes and... Voila ... or... 完成

At the very least strip them of all human rights and administer laser tats removal on the spot. And kick them off the benefit, of course.

Makes me think - I have never seen a proud Aboriginal with dots tattooed on. Maybe the deep cultural significance and artistic merit of dot painting hasn't percolated down to the lower classes in all those 10, 20, 40, 60, thousand (what are we up to now?) years.

On the other hand, correct use of the loincloths, body painst and leaves are significant, living concern.

"The routine has offended Aboriginal elders because of its random use of loincloths, bodypaint and eucalyptus leaves and there have also been question marks about the music and the use of the didgeridoo."

We can't have random loincloth use, can we? That's just soo wrong.
Leaves everywhere? Bodypaint on the wrong spots? Terrible.

You mean you haven't seen pictures of aboriginals painted or ritually tattooed?

Remember the original polymer $10 note?

After 40,000 years they have discovered hand paintings.

Heard somewhere that customs are part of culture but not culture itself.
Those who herald their achievements as culture are overly generous.

However, when our society disintegrates their method of survival will be good model for some time.
Live of the land, do no buildings, no nothing, just move around and start fire for food to come to you.

One more thing, which doesn't gel with me too is them proclaiming themselves as custodians of the land. Total crap, they made few species extinct and just other species were lucky not to share the same fate.
