Cycling Art: Important or Not

[Canuk]

Someone really went to town on this Colnago C35 Ferrari. Serious cash to engrave three components and gold plate...

Cabeza de Toro (1942) - Pablo Picasso

Not retro, but still - a good lesson when less is more. What to say. Totally researched wonderful aesthetics for this type of bike.

As the descendant of six generations of artists (my daughter, a CGI illustrator, is the seventh, as it missed me), I think I can say with some authority that art, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. I agree about commercial exercises masquerading as art, such as that Hirst abomination, but that's just hype, isn't it? My dad used to rant about what a sellout Dali was, but in retrospect he comes across as something of a genius compared with the crap on offer these days.

Some of today's crap will become the art of the future.
