I didn't mean Dadaism was epic. I'm not too knowledgeable on the genre but I haven't liked what I've seen.
Anyone remember the artist tht did neo-art deco for original blade runner?
Tasteful Italian futurism feels like a spiritual cousin of Art Deco.
Futurism came first
@Virgil Gross.
Futurist architecture taken to the extreme
Very much so, that would make sense that the architecture followed
@Virgil have you ever squeezed cheese out of something with holes in it?
Some of the examples I'm looking at of IT futurism are really indulgent and gross.
I always liked the landscape and nature prints at Cabellas
There are also some stunning examples.
Weird school.
Romantic art produced much more elegant architecture or at least paired. That's something you really don't see in modern art.
Goodnight all.
Or I guess you do. Degeneracy produces garbage like melted candles or cut up plastic bottles painted yellow being a center piece for a "gallery".
Futurist architecture always felt like Space Rome. It had a bit of influence in the uh...goverments of Italy to follow
That...is a tasteful example.
To be fair at least they are trying to do something different, this right here is the epitome of modern utilitarian architecture
I would fight that building with my bare hands.
Interestingly enough, the best surviving examples of Italian furturism in archetecture are actually in Ethiopia, having been built after it's anexation. Most of what was in Italy was bombed or deconstructed later

@metasophocles @godric Soviets were masters at creating inspirational art as propaganda. Just listen to the Soviet anthem. It's an amazing work of music.
somebody colorized one of the more famous sketches and ngl I would love to live here
Space Rome is best aesthetic
Most agreed, art as inspiration is probably is most vital use, being leveraged by a state is essential
Why did we stop building beautiful things?
@Jacob I agree that it is masterfully composed but to be honest I associate it so much with the communist losers I knew from high school that it's hard for me to enjoy.
@Ben Rainsford - OH its expensive and doesnt require rebuilding in 15 years
*modern cannibalistic economy intensifies
Classical or the futurism being posted architecture isn't even expensive when you compare it to garbage modernist architecture that plagues our cities.
@metasophocles Dude I agree with you. The final redpill is that every side in politics exaggerates how horrible their enemies are.
There were absolutely good parts about the Soviet Union, even if Stalin and his buddies were pretty bad guys.
I don't get how people reconcile that the soviet union was a totalitarian hellscape where everyone starved with the fact that they decimated half their continent and went to space.
this is a stock photo but you still the idea of the glory of mighty italian futurism
lol the idea that everyone was starving in the Soviet Union is absurd
German scientists sure helped getting the Soviets to space
@Kingfish I am starting to think it doesn't translate as well into real life as I thought.
Same with the US though
If we're going full theoretical architecture, I really liked the various culture's aesthetics in Lord of the Rings, they were all different fusions/remixes of different European cultures.
