Symbolic Value Starry Night 774

raven

Is that the number of times Rev Headjob has made claims he couldn't justify, when challenged, and had to go on the net asking everyone to help him explain himself!?

B^D

What a riot! B^D

Rev Head federal flag), then that is

...

A rhetorical one, suggesting Starry Night is just a few splashes of paint on a piece of canvas.. what's that about???

BTW "What, ask a question" should have a question mark. ;-)

If you are going to labour the point, you really should be able to do it yourself;

But why did you ask a rthetorical question in which you implied a rare, unique and beautiful work of art was just paint splashes?

I think your use of the Rhetorical has gone beyond what is reasonable.

Come back to us when you have decided what it is you want to say and are able to articulate it.

The symbolic values remain, they are not destroyed by burning one, of many, physical copies.

But starry night is a unique, irreplacable work..

Burn it.. and it is gone forever! 8^o

Of course not, they symbolise different things, I can't quite see why you thought otherwise?

That's nice, however..

Gum trees are a clbuttic motif in Australian paintings.

They are celebrated in song, for example;

"Give me a home among the Gum trees.."

And in stories; "The Gum Nuts"

The leaves are played as our simplest bush instrument.

The memories of dead explorers blazed on the trunk of a Gum Tree.

And they explode like fury in the dreaded Bushfire.. The Nightmare of everyone who lives in the Bush.

For some of us, at least, the Gum tree is rich with symbolism. It's part of our culture, something that outsiders may not be familiar with. ....

Especially Australian art, (I'm surprised you didn't choose one of our paintings as your example, if you are familiar with our culture)

But you are the one who said it has a 'whole lot of symbolic value' not a view I share, and so I asked you what you mean.

Now you can't explain and are evading the issue! 8^o

Is it because you were making it up, but it's so central to your argument that you can't admit that?

B^D

I asked you to tell us what symbolic value it had, and you couldn't! B^p

As you claimed it had 'whole lot of symbolic value', yet can't give us even one example, that seems to be your your answer! B^p

BTW you seem to have forgotten how to make a question mark again.. I wouldn't mention it, but you do tend to bung on about such things.

So significant you can't find any examples of it when asked! B^p

Oh dear. A sever case of inability to back your claims.

Not very true-blue of you old boy.. especially when you try and pbutt your mess to others to clean up for you;

You couldn't, and it's not my job to bridge the gap between what you say and reality.

BTW true blues call answering 'from below'

Talking Out yer Arse, Mate!

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!

true blues love a joke! ;-)

So I'm sure they will warm to you!

......

.....

That 'significant', huh? B^p

Have you actually seen the painting at all?

Or have you gone catatonic with shame?

....

That happened where you said Starry Night had 'a whole lot of significant symbolism', and I said 'such as?'

and you ran away squealing... "They Know I'm A fraud" ..never to be seen again. ;-)

It seems you know as much about European art as you do about true blue culture.

And show the same disinterest in discussing either.

Not much point having a discussion with someone who can't back their words, or explain what you mean.

"There is a fundamental distinction between multicultural and Multiculturalism, which racists constantly and deliberately confuse.

A society is multicultural if it has more than one culture being practised within that society.

'Multicultural - A society which embraces a number of minority cultures' - Macquarie Dictionary

Multiculturalism is two things, the -ISM indicates that it is a set of beliefs or ideas about multiculture, ie a recognition of multicultural REALITY, an acceptance of it, a celebration of it. But it is ALSO a set of government policies to formalize that recognition, acceptance and celebration! Thus the Howard government has a Department which documents the positive economic social and foreign policy benefits from having a successful, open, democratic multicultural society."

- fasgnadh

Australia have come from different cultures, and live different lives that could be categorised into groups if you chose to do so.

a governmental level"
