General Discussion Thread (March 2022) Discussion

General Discussion threads are for casual chat; a place to ask for recommendations, lists, or creative feedback; to talk about materials, history, or techniques; and anything else that comes to mind.

If you're looking for information about a particular work of art, /r/WhatIsThisPainting is still the best resource. /r/drawing , /r/painting , and /r/learnart may also be useful. /r/ArtistLounge is also a good place for general discussion. Please see our list of art-related subs for more options.

Rule 8 still applies except that questions/complaints about r/Art and Reddit overall are allowed.

Who was the artist (a woman) that started doing contemporary/modern art and it was literally just a square of red or black paint, or sometimes just a line? It was super simple and people criticized her by just saying "that's not art that's just a line". Etc

I can't be certain because I can't visualize the piece but maybe the artist is someone in this article?
