Aight here I go there has been some sort of debate between Mrs. Chan and Detchen (ill fix this later) and its about Jamie Wyeth about whether or not he his art work is dark and morbid. Unfortunately I got dragged and stuck in the middle of their childish fight D:< So I am going to give my honest opinion on the matter. What you determine to be dark, morbid, happy, sad, loving etc. is all to the eyes of the beholder. In this case Mrs. Chan and Detchen are both right because its their opinion :3. But I honestly see nothing morbid in this my definition of morbid: blood and gore galore, portrayal of some horrible conditions (Shinler's List an example it wasnt that graphic it was the lil girl in the red coat and the bodies). I can make millions of examples but after going through Wyeth's works I see nothing morbid in anycases by my standards. Some are dark but thats it DARK nothing beyond that end of story. There are some "happy" paintings but thats it im done I will no longer be int hte middle of this anymore D:<.
Sabrina - great answer. I'm glad we got you thinking! You're right, things are all in the eye of the beholder!! Mr. Deetjen will be happy that you mostly sided with him....I'll never hear the end of it! :)
