When there is finally a nice discussion below sea level again, it has to be locked again!

yes Reinbakhuizen (you know from the stamps) is ugly in the shade. At least Rein said sensible things, only the way it was not so nice.

Who can match this? So far I think Isca is the best ...

Maybe this could be a nice new discourse: CENSORSHIP.

At 11:59 pm I sent an e-mail that was not posted, that is

so HALF AN HOUR before Pegag locks the case.

Did they lose it for a while? I'm happy to send it again. Isca

an administrator does not need to have an understanding of ART to know whether the correct fields of an item in the category have been filled in correctly.

Although I agree with the fact that Catawiki does not have an art section, because this is not workable on a wiki site where everyone can enter anything, I do not agree with this, Morrits.

When I look here , it appears that basic knowledge is indeed lacking.

Everything after 1918 shouldn't be included.

Isca, while I understand you're getting really worked up about this, it's best that you ignore it all.
In the end, it's just a website, isn't it?
There are so many of those.

Just have to say that I also have to conclude that the administrators have a point.

If you paint a car beautifully, it can also be art.
Any object can be art.
In Catawiki everything is classified by object, art is too much focused on the theme to fit into the current design of this site in a workable way.
In the past there were theme sections, but they have all been largely removed.

The sections 'Glass and crystal', 'Ceramics', 'Aviation' that Vinja rightly mentions are a remnant of that period, and should actually be cleaned up at some point.

At the same time, we also had a visual arts section, which was filled in no time with smurfs, hummels, and amateurs who liked to put their own drawings under art.

I myself have always been interested in art, I also regularly visit museums, but I can still remember that I was glad that that terrible art section was pulled apart and divided over the entire catalog by subject.

That art section was one of the biggest mockeries of the former Catawiki, and I really hope we never go back to that time.

The answer could have been very short and concise:

Visual art is too complex, multifaceted and time consuming to control.

Besides, we don't have the expertise.

But then you don't have to give up on Visual Arts.

And to taunt Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Rudi Fuchs, Wim Beeren.

And also to describe the collection of 't Stedelijk (A'dam) as plain rubbish.

Then call me a liar too! And threaten to expel.

Dots on the i

The catalog lists works by Barton, Richard Lee under drawings/paintings

expressionist paintings and gouaches (17 pieces). Expressionism is

100 years earlier, and this painter was not yet born (1958). The description

of the art movement must be contemporary art / neo-expressionist.

And then the sky-high value. But I would give much more for it

if he was really expressionist.

Where is my message from just before closing time? Or will they

really lost?

This entire discussion has been discussed before, so it's pretty useless

http://forum.catawiki.nl/forums/35-suggesties-voor-de-site/topics/13185-geen-rubriek-kunst

A remove the Avatar and put a real photo in its place is more personal.

Two Pegag can't build a ditch at all, only a few can, for example Arco.

Three my favorite is Koetsiertje even before Rien, by the way Reintjedevos could also do something about it

I think this is a response to your comment:

It is clear there is no administrator with knowledge of art in the field of ART

Then you put things on edge, because people can take this as offensive.
And so you get a heated discussion where things are said back and forth, and accusations are made, which should have been left out.
Not that I'm taking sides, but it's a real shame that a potentially fun discussion has become so overheated.
That hadn't been necessary

Anyway, you have to think like this, if "people" here criticize art so much, isn't it better that there is no art section?

Arco, Morits, Pegag, jozefK, Vertigo, FransS, and moderator rikMooren);

in that case I would have generalized, and apologize for the generalization

Since I am not an administrator you may now start apologizing.

I apologize for mistaking you as an administrator!

For the backs of books and magazines with a plain white or black back, I found a solution: leave photo 2 blank to avoid useless work. perform.

Well, you have already learned quite a bit for a haft.

Double

Well, I still have a lot more to learn.

I only know Haft as a one-day fly. But that cannot apply to me, I have been on it for many more days. Maybe it also means louse, 'like louse in the fur'.

That could be correct. And they are damn hard to silence. Especially when there's a one meter long pencil (caran d'ache) in front of the window since Charley Hebdo.

Now this seems like a good time to close this topic about painting boxes.

You can also make a nice division according to objects within a section 'Visual arts'. A number of existing (sub) headings could be partially accommodated here. Discussions about whether or not something is art are not necessary at all.

If someone wants to enter an object and thinks it belongs in the 'Visual arts' section, they place it there. If the manager thinks that the object fits better in another, this can be adjusted. That is not because the manager thinks it is not art, but because he thinks another section makes more sense.

You can see a screen print of a cartoon artist as an art object. But it is more logical to place these in the section 'Comic ex-libris and prints' or the subsection 'Comic book drawings' (I suspect that these sections also need some attention).

If I model car painted and provided with a few dents and then place this object in the 'Visual arts' section and fill in all the details (including the name of the artist), then that is all right. The administrator does not have to discuss whether it is art or not.

If I paint a model car to make it look neat again, I place it in the 'Model cars' section, again provided with the correct data.

What matters is the purpose of the object. Whether that intention has been successful is irrelevant for the catalog, the information of which must be objective.

There will be discussion within the section. Fine, right? That happens in almost every category. However, discussions about whether something is art or not are out of the question, an objective catalog is not about that.

Isca does have a point when she says that checking the imported objects is complex and that the expertise is lacking.

Setting up a 'Visual arts' section is a huge job, but not impossible. This means that several motivated managers with expertise are required.
