Wasn’t Evola and artist for a short spell?

Evola was involved with Dadaism.

@Reinhard Wolff I'd need to see some better examples. Doesn't appeal to me.

@Reinhard Wolff The architectural influence of futurism is pretty miniscule nowdays but was always my favorite part of it

He drew the famous covers to many of his books, IIRC

The above is an example of modern art being EPIC.

eh the second one isn't bad I suppose.

Yeah, *Metropolis* aesthetic.

@Reinhard Wolff DADAISM IS TRASH REEEEEEEEEEEE

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.

I like the neo classical myself

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.
