On the Marvels of Humanity

[MarcusA]

In the history of art, there is nothing merely human, everybody is a superhero. True heroics are performed by people, not cartoon cutouts.

[MarcusA]

What is pornography but projections of the mind, art comes from the heart.

[MarcusA]

What is art but an obscenity to the masses which makes it popular.

[MarcusA]

Humanity is exquisite.

[No one]

Unless you overcook them.

[MarcusA]

Human beings can be tough at times.

[No one]

That's why I stick to infants. And Kittens.

[MarcusA]

You're sick, you know that, don't you?

[No one]

Don't worry, I never mix the two. That would just be weird.

[MarcusA]

Man. Always thrusting ahead and losing his head.

Hmm... Is everybody a superhero in the history of art, indeed..?

For instance, I'd call this here painting I found after literally a few seconds' search on the Internet "art" because of the story it tells. Where's the more-than-human?



If you are talking about the artists, much the same applies. Far from everyone in that business is a stuck-up sniffer of his own farts. Some people just have some emotions to convey or stories to tell.

Why is he looking upwards?

[Icarus]

^ He is looking upwards because he is trying to find the source of leaks in the roof of his house. Or maybe he is an astronomer named Messier, birds in his attic, he is doing a commercial for razor blades or shaving cream..............he is a sad old bastard, like me, who is waiting for the next shoe to fall.

...only to find that the upstairs neighbor is a centipede.

The Centipede was happy quite, / Until a Toad in fun / Said, "Pray, which leg goes after which?" / And worked her mind to such a pitch, / She lay distracted in a ditch / Considering how to run.'
