[edit] Lowbrow vs. lowbrow art

I propose this page be moved to "lowbrow art" and a stub be written in its place. Links would include this page, as well as "low culture" and "highbrow" (antonym).

My reasoning is that this page used to be a redirect to "highbrow" and is linked to by such. (In fact, highbrow still owns the "low-brow" redirect.) The natural antonym to "highbrow" (intellectual artistry of all kinds) is "lowbrow" (anti-intellectual artistry of all kinds, incl. e.g. humour), not a single populist visual art movement (nifty as it may be). – Wisq 21:05, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

How about "Lowbrow (art movement)"? That's the usual way to clarify different uses of the word. -- Scarequotes 21:10, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Sure. I just suggested "Lowbrow art" because the term was actually used in the opening paragraph (bolded). – Wisq 05:31, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Pictures

I have to admit I don't know much about this type of art, but I gfigure any article like this should have some pictures to demonstrate what it is.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 07:38, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
