Art? Twin girls take photos of themselves with toys, sell them online for $333 each.

Must have been a hell of a gallery show. Which reminds me, First Thursday next week!

Indeed, I usually go.

Art is an overly broad term that encompasses too-many-to-count subjective and questionable interpretations.

As long as there are non-zero people who...appreciate it, then it can be considered art in some form. Just like beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Maybe I should start selling used panties or something too for 300 dollars each. Sounds rather profitable

[Leih]

Over $300 dollars?!

Good lord... I should stop posting pictures on social media for free.

Ikr.

We can form a "Ladies of OT" group for panty-selling purposes.

The pictures are free, the toys from the shoot are $333. Which is an odd number to choose, I assume they split the profits 3 ways....

*giggles* Fantastic business idea!

[Ihnasir]

Probably the only way some bronies are gonna sniff pussy

Could totally be a way to artistically elevate the usual shitposting around here.

Hmmm... I wonder what crap I have lying around in my room I could sell.

"Lord of the Rings Calendar! $240! Once seen in the background of one of my instagram pics!"

[HumbleDuck]

I consider every thing which is framed and represented as art to be art. So yes, it is. Now its a completely different story if you ask is it a good form of art or not.

[OneSent]

Meh, there are people out there who buy used underwear... you can sell anything these days.

On a side note, those twins look like the Wayans brothers from the movie 'White Chicks'.

So far most of the outrage is about 2 girls making money off of their sexuality on their own terms. The one person that alleges to have known them earlier in life focused more on their social lives than their art. I guess they lost touch when they went on to study for a BFA at NYU. Plenty of other modern artists studied traditional art, Koons, Rauschenberg, Lichtenstein, Warhol, etc.. Just that making realist portraits gets old.

The photos are fairly standard post modern deconstructions of sexuality and consumerism. I like the performance art angle, of how the pieces say more about the people that buy them. Are their underlying expectations for paying $333 for a toy? Like any good artists they also made a bible reference with the holy trinity. Kinda like Warhol, just more current and sexualized.

Looks like they do oils as well.

What is that supposed to mean?

[Howard Moon]

Isn't porn like... the opposite of feminism?

[Madeupname999]

Well i guess if mildly funny graffitti painting on some wall in Bristol can go for 100k dollars i guess these poorly drawn pornagraphic doodles can sell the same.

Seriously the art world is such a fucking racket!

[Deleted]

Well the feale anatomy is beutiful.. Eh heh he

Theres no need to be supercilious about art.. A lot of things can be considered as art

There are different schools of feminism. Leftist tend to be the oppresed because reason X,Y,A,V,B etc etc while the more liberal types of feminism are more "my body my choice, can't tell me what to do with it!"

[Slant]

Anything can be art, so why not? If people are dumb enough to pay for that who cares.

Let's say... anything can be called art. Doesn't make it actually art.

Here's the secret... feminism = carte blanche to do whatever the fuck you want as a woman and hide all the crazy behind the feminism label so males won't even dare attack you for your stupidity or lack of skill in life, because none of them wants to be seen as a misogynist.

Ah, life just became a lot clearer for you, I feel.

Is this a Syndrome situation where if everything is art, nothing is?

Pretty much

There was a time where you could do anything you wanted and hide behind the veil of religion, faith and superstition

A mere mention of hearing the voice of God - or resisting the lure of a demon - could be enough to excuse all manner of abhorrent actions or create sympathy and understanding

Feminism is the new religion: the portmanteau justification for any nonsense, so that the weak-minded will look upon you approvingly thinking themselves oh-so-virtuous and oh-so-liberal

[ophion1990]

Wow, $333? Do these people not realise that loads of girls just post nudes for free on the internet?

If porn is art, I guess so is this. Normally when people say art, I think of a Rubens or something though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
