Miro magic and surreal piracy



Miro's cock sold for 6.6 million pounds in July 2007 but here on SU we like freebies. So here's a cool way to transform your PC into a TV. Nice to have the option -- though I personally find a good stumble more enticing than indifferent TV! One advantage it offers to watching on 'You Tube' appears to be the ability to save footage to your hard-drive (and to delete it easily if it looks like getting clogged up). There are some *rare* jazz and blues clips I've stumble-reviewed which are forever being taken down from 'You Tube' once the companies get wise. It'll be interesting to see how they respond to this more blatant threat of piracy.

Don't even think about copying the picture as all Miro's paintings are copy-protected by the aptly-named ARS the Art Reproduction Society of New York. Miro, who pioneered surrealist techniques such as grattage (laying on pigment with a trowel) and automatism, was described by Andre Breton as "the most surrealist of us all" . He didn't much care for the art world. He professed to wish the 'assassination of painting', disliking  bourgeois art as a cultural commodity, yet happily collaborated in its means of production!  Once Cubism had become an established art form he threatened 'I will break their guitar,' [1] And as for art critics! unspeakable! In an interview with biographer Walter Eben, he said:"they are more concerned with being philosophers than anything else. They form a preconceived opinion, then they look at the work of art. Painting merely serves as a cloak in which to wrap their emaciated philosophical systems."

Here's an engaging 1m 30 sec film short of Miro-style paintings dancing to the music of Bach.
