Romans pretty much were Greeks. Culture was almost the same thing and parts of Greeks that had noses full of Hellas got their ass to ancient Italy.
Oh, I also like the Celts and Phoenicians. The ancient Asians were also interesting. Greeks and Romans are so standard in Europe, especially in advanced history courses. |

@Angel
How do you know they're boring as people? A lot of them precede recorded or extensive personal documentation, so it's hard to know what they were like, isn't it? Just saying. It's understandable - I get bored talking to most other artists, and I am one too, haha. |

I'm not Angel but okay. You just gave yourself the answer, and just from the impression. 'Course I can't know, but I can guess. I mean we can always only guess if the people are REALLY interesting. It might be that they're boring as hell. |
Vesper
05.06.11 | Hahaha, whoops, sorry about that, guys.
And, yeah, except that I'm only talking to other student artists, so, of course, most of the stuff they spout is total crap. But I guess if I were to pick artists to talk to, I guess it would be a better bet to choose ones whose works have managed to remain influential for decades, if not centuries.
Guessing who would be interesting or not can really extend to anyone on this list, though, like you said. |
ConsiderPhlebas
05.06.11 | Dali was a nutcase. He told friends that if a train were to be blown up, he'd prefer it to be a second class carriage, because it would feed his masturbatory urges. On another occasion an interviewer mentioned his surprise that Dali had a little dog, so Dali picked the dog up and threw it in a river. |
AngelofDeath
05.06.11 | Exactly why I want to meet him. |
ConsiderPhlebas
05.06.11 | Yeah that's why I put him in my list |
Wolfhorde
05.06.11 | @Vesper: Student artists are mostly crazy as shit. At least the ones here. Wouldn't even say that. I'd only talk to those artists whom's work I like or I think would be interesting (like van Gogh). Being influential doesn't mean it's good or interesting. (Goethe was a smart guy and talented writer but "The pains of young Werther" is a horribly cheesy book) |
ConsiderPhlebas
05.06.11 | The Sorrows of Young Werther was groundbreaking in its day |
Wolfhorde
05.06.11 | I know. I still think it's as cheesy as it gets, despite from being full of blabber without context. (We're doing that in our advanced German course atm and I have to write an exam about that, so yeah) |
Vesper
05.06.11 | Yeah, I don't know if "influential" was the right word, exactly... "lasting"? I don't know, that something about their work seems to give it staying power, and I'd want to see if, by speaking with them, I could find out what that is (if anything).
I don't really like Dali's work, but I'd definitely want to meet him, just based on what Phlebas is telling us, lol. |
ConsiderPhlebas
05.06.11 | Mills & Boon is cheesy as it gets. For all that it's overwrought, Werther has interesting threads of psychological disintergration and a nice line in rhetoric. The endless flights of fancy all tie into that. |
ConsiderPhlebas
05.06.11 | @vesper - it's worth reading up on his life, or the history of surrealism, because there are so many awesome stories. He made claims about eating his wife's shit, among other things. |
Wolfhorde
05.06.11 | "Lasting" might be more fitting. For me DaVinci would most likely be first choice. And I'd like to meet some weapon smiths from the medieval/ancient ages.
@Phlebas: Yeah, but those psychological parts are rather irrational pessimism. And I still don't like it. I just don't like the reading flow, especially in comparison to Faust - which I really like. |
ConsiderPhlebas
05.06.11 | I don't like the book myself. Hated it, for the most part. |

05.06.11 | Werther or Faust? |
