Art?

Besides being a tiny heiress to a second-rate fashion line, you’ll recall that Ally Hilfiger is also a budding artiste, the profession of choice for aimless rich people looking to have loads of both free time and room for interpretation.
Last night was the opening of the small wonder’s weird show, which focused heavily on the number eight. Ironically, we don’t believe any of the work we’ve seen is anywhere near an eight out of 10. Let us know your thoughts, amateur art critics.

I prefer Monet… a true artist.
I just can’t stop hearing her whiny, “But Dad, I can’t tell you how many therapists said I didn’t have a childhood!” while she sat in her backyard by a bunch of old, strewn about plastic children’s toys on her reality show. Whatever happened to that? It was trashtastic!!!
The black one looks like a nightmare I once had of a filthy toilet in a dark deserted building that I had to use. * chills. Thats art baby.
True story.
That red one looks like a self portrait of her lady area. Keep that to yourself Hillfiger. andy by the way, straightening your hair and putting on large glasses doesn’t make you a serious artist. And I have a painting by my 3 year old that kind of looks like the middle one. He got a smiley face for it.
It’s a rip of Rothko, Basquiat, and Pollock all meshed together and it looks like it could have been done by an 6 year old. Pathetic and trying to hard to be mysterious and ’smart’.
my 7 month old nephew could have painted those which leads me to believe ally hilfinger has the same IQ as a 7 month old.
It’s not not art, but it is craptastic IMO. Unless it’s all an homage to cocaine…meh, still sucks.
ah, hence the glasses. another figure “8″.
Actually I am kind of impressed she knew what an 8 even looked like. Didn’t imagine she could count that high.
It’s obviousl that scooter butt is no amateur. Scooter completely saw into Alley’s soul and got her message. I on the other hand am not only and amateur but am also immature. They all look like buttholes to me.
LIKE FATHER LIKE DAUGHER(no talent). OR SINs OF THE FATHER
There are no frames on these paintings. What kind of rip off is that?
No problem. Just ease on down the road to Target and pick some up for 10 bucks and under. Walla, high art.
I just think that the painting should come with the frame. I hate to make two trips.
Paintings on stretched canvas generally don’t have frames. I don’t think her stuff is TERRIBLE… but it definitely is unoriginal. And Danielle, I miss that show too! What was it called? Rich Girls? “I just want to make a burrito!!”
Her Rothko black paintings, um, “homage” (I am being charitable) - looks like a poster for The Ring Two, or something. Now if only she would comb her hair in front of her face.
That was it and yes, I watched it. I barely remember her friend. It was hard to hear over their nasally whining.
I felt badly for her friend. She was not cute, and a little on the bigger side. I’m trying to be nice and not call her fat…
8 - as in how many calories she eats a day, how many times she throws up in a day, how many laxatives she takes each day, how many times to the 8th power she whines “daddy” in a day - come on people…you’re not looking deep enough into her SOUL…
I was going to say my 2 year old’s pictures are better than this, but juju beat me to the bunch. What a bunch of pretentious crap.
8 ways to leave your lover?
8 different ways to wear your Tommy Hillfiger scarf.
Good lord it’s the most boring art - can you call it art? - I have ever seen. Is Daddy paying the gallery owner or did someone actually think these pieces were good? Seriously? Someone looked at those and thought, OH we HAVE to have those in our gallery!???? If so, I am so sad about the art world and the direction it’s going! It’s like a bad high school project.
Here is the scoop on her art and her fascination with 8.
When Ally was in kindergarden, she was having a hard time learning to spell her last name. She kept putting two ls. Her most beloved teacher
told her, “just always remember there are 8 letters in your last name.”
This teacher also simply LOVED her paintings.
She really believed in Ally.
This show is an homage to her beloved kindergarden teacher.
True story. LOOK IT UP.
that’s kind of sweet?
She couldn’t spell her own name? Bwa ha haaah ahha! It was only clearly written on Timmy’s t-shirt and he sat right next to her, what a stupid dummy head.
Okay… relea quick go back to main MG page so that you can view this post pic and the Christitan, Tim pic at the same time.
Is it just me or could Christian and Ally be brother and sister… or sister and sister… whatever.
Cute story. But I sure hope this isn’t the future of art. 8 balls for everyone.
Sugar, you are RIGHT. Doppelganger. (sp)
Side note: does anyone watch Intervention on A&E. Holy shit, last week’s was disturbing!
Looking at these paintings …it is obvious to me that Ally has drawn her artistic inspiration from Sesame Street… and the number 8. Give the kid a chance…by the time Ally reaches the number 10 … may be able to paint a pretty good portrait of Elmo. If any of you want to paint like Ally click here and go to “art” http://www.sesameworkshop.org/sesamestreet/
It ain’t as easy as it looks….I got to the number 2…and gave up.
I didn’t see last week, but I have seen Intervention. The one I saw was pretty disturbing as well.
The lady almost died, and still by the end of the show didn’t get herself into treatment.
juju…. you’ve got to visit billy’s link… THE COUNT IS THERE!
Billy’s right. That just felt like too much work. I didn’t even make it to one. I was just really sad to see the count knowing he fooled me like he did.
I like it. Stop hating, people.
‘but i want a taco’
JBM, we are allowed to hate art if we want. It is subjective, after all. Duvs.
Yeah, JBM, aren’t you, in essence, hating on our hate?
Okay-I’m an art “geek” and I hate this crap…i am open to any new/different medium art, but this is called “My daddy is rich and can buy me a show in any gallery i want” No one cares if it sucks..they just want the money for their gallery and the coverage it gets them in the papers. Did that sound a bit catty? heehee
Was last week the Iraq vet who’s seargent died? That was really bad. But I watch that show every week. Thanks to Lisa I’m now singing, Slip out the back Jack, Make a new plan Stan, Hop on the bus GUUUUUSSSSS. Don’t need to discuss much just drop off the keys Lee and get yourself free. Thanks.
PP-It’s better than the song stuck in MY head thanks to the number 8 theme. “8 days a week” I can’t remember all the words, so I have to hum some of it.
That is another good song queen. I secretly like both of those songs.
I love you, love you, love you. 8 days a week. I’m not afraid to show a hair. That’s how I heard it, anyways.
pp - it was the one where a 17 year old girl does “speedballs” up in her room all day and her dad pays for her drugs because he’s afraid of where else she’ll go to get the cash. plus the mom is horribly bulimic and anorexic and doesn’t live with the family. but they’re total suburbanites. it was wild…
And I can’t even get a group show in Dallas, TX! The art world is a pain in the ass.
You know what I think? I think she could chew nails.
Don’t feel bad Jill. Maybe if you had some kind of sculpture featuring botox and implants, then they’d be interested? I’m convinced the Naum Gabo sculpture at the Nasher is a socialite who’s just gotten a facelift.
Haha, I wonder if she decided to wear glasses because they’re “sorta lyke ates, rite?”
Effer, Billy. I just spent a lot-lot of time on that Sesame Street Workshop. Damnit.
You’re a better manbearpig than I am a woman. I gave up pretty quickly. I didn’t like all those muppet bastards staring at me and judging me.
It’s okay, Juju, I’m three halves. It gives me an edge, as does the alcohol.
I can’t compete with that. But it is Wednesday after 5, you know what that means. Drinks, ANTM, and Project Runway finale. Let’s rock.
Dear Ally,
There’s an artist named Jasper Johns who has done this already. Well, he didn’t quite do what you did as he is imaginative, intelligent and talented. Given his work appears in many art books, I’m guessing you knew this already–at least the part about someone doing this already.
Cheers,
Lils
*Sigh. My good wednesdays consisted of South Park, Kid Nation, and ANTM. I only have ANTM, now, and I seriously think all the girls need some serious fierce injections.
This painting is very, happy hands at home looking.
I heart Tim Gunn soooo much.
MBP: we need to hang and discuss how much we miss Jared. That kid was comedy GOLD!
Oh my Jesus! The whole entire red team was fucked in the head, but hilarious.
Did you realize that the green team was the ONLY good one?
Is Kid Nation still on? The girls are really starting to bore me. I hope there are some fun meltdowns when they get their makeovers. i vote for the tranny girl to get the, Mia.
No, sadly, but I hear there’s talk of a Kid Nation 2, which I CANNOT wait for. Oh, mockery of children is always good for the soul.
Buwah? They’re having makeovers already?
Man, I loved the outtake when sophia pushed jared down in his make-shift hammock. Delish! Juje, I WISH it were still on. I am hoping for a season 2, but it just won’t be the same. MBP, they were beyond fucked. My boyf made some crack about the fried potato girl the other day. Specifically about getting grease burns on my face.
I KNOW! Makeovers are early this cycle.
Haha, I love how some of the children just disappear from the camera after the week is over. I never knew what happened to the greasy potato seller.
I actually really liked Sophia. She was effin’ hilarious. I almost wanted them to pick the monument, because then I seriously would have had to have a roadtrip to deface it.
As long as none of the kids belong to me, I’m watching. I prefer my children only work for me.
You could put them on the show and make them work for gold stars. 20 Gees!
wtf is up with those fucking glasses?
she reminds me of Cary Grant’s styling glasses in the mid-80s. *LMAO*
Well, I haven’t seen the reality show and this article about Ally Hilfiger’s art here on Mollywood is my first introduction to the woman/girl, so I am not being influenced by her personality or reputation. I am also almost 60 years old and have been an artist for most of my life. That said, I think her art, taken on its own, is not bad at all, in fact it is quite good. I hope she does not get discouraged by all of the negative commentary here. It has real merit and I hope she continues and evolves.
Ladies and gentlemen… Ally’s grandma. :)
Raane: What about it has merit or is even remotely good? It’s a bad copy of other people’s work. For one instant I thought the black version was almost good then I realized it was just gloss black on matte black. There are a lot of artists whose works, on the surface, appear to be simplistic to the degree you feel a child could do the same or better, but then you look again or dig deeper and find something bigger and more complex. Hers only has that initial simplistic and superficial quality without the underlying complexity.
I love it. It’s superfluous just like she is…
I would lick her bush
Wow, they haven’t posted a picture of her since she did that reality show on MTV. Her family was more visible then.
