Ugly gardens,tacky garden art and garden "fails"

[Jewell]

Here is how a garden horse should be if it must be http://www.hometalk.com/484827/topiary-horse-planted-with-and-among-perennials

Who wants a fake dog? This is the ugliest statue I've ever seen.

Jewell, the horse in the link that you posted looks pretty interesting! It's weird, but nice.

Garden art collections have been a curiosity of mine. I have a Pinterest board with ones I find interesting. ACSAPA you have certainly found some of the ugliest I've ever seen. Those gnomes with the flamingo are .... Gag. Lol The following links are a much more subdued.

This is such a funny thread, zombie dwarfs made me laugh . I found some pictures of tacky decorations too. Look at this horse, isn't it hideous?:

I agree that it's ugly, but the artwork on the horse is actually based on the work of a famous 20th century artist - Piet Mondrian. I'm not to keen on the original either.

Here's the Christmas travesty that I tried to post before.

This isn't beautiful but it's funny.

This is so ugly that it's ridiculous.

I wonder what the owner's neighbors think of that. I can't imagine having to look at it every time I step outside the front door.

I'm ashamed to confess it, but I haven't heard of Piet Mondrian before. I really should learn more about art, especially since my boyfriend is an artist. Anyway, thank you for the information
ACSAPA, the decorations really are hideous

I don't know that much about art either, but I don't know any artists really well. But that one just stuck in my mind, although I did have to look up the artist's name.

I wouldn't want that horse in my garden, but I wouldn't want Piet Mondrian's art hanging on my walls either. I've obviously got bad taste though, because look what his work is worth.

Gina145, wow, this is a lot of money! I would love to have his painting, so I could sell it
In general, I'm very interested in art, but I prefer older pieces. Somehow, I don't like anything too modern and unfortunately, I don't know anything about contemporary art.
ACSAPA, this "in case of zombies" sign made me laugh really hard

I know, right? I love Christmas too, but I wouldn't want to see a house every day that looks like a Christmas landfill.

Oh, I absolutely agree that it would be nice to have one to sell. Every now and then someone seems to find a great work of art for a bargain price, but I don't think I'd recognise one if I saw it.

I also prefer older artworks, though in recent times I'm learning to appreciate some abstract photography. But I just can't see any appeal in Mondrian's art. And even less in something like a Jackson Pollock painting.

 

[claudine]

Actually, I can't say that I don't like Jackson Pollock. I mean, I wouldn't want to have any of his paintings on my walls, but I find them rather interesting, because there is a space for the imagination in them. For example, I see trees and clouds here:

Hahaha, this one is awesome! I love zombies and gardening, lol! That's the perfect mix! Thanks for the morning laugh I really needed it.
