I'll be honest, his stuff doesn't blow me away. I like impressionism and he's clearly inspired by it despite not being part of it

doesn't speak to me, personally.

@metasophocles bruh, you can like cultural nuggets without agreeing with the society's ultimate position or ideology.

Both the soviet anthem and "brave nasheed" are absolute bangers.

There are painters and particularly certain sculptors, unfortunately associated with failed regimes of the early 20th century that I admire deeply but thats not a conversation for gentlemanly IE discord

Am I a supporter of communism (or isis)? Hell no

This is a painter that I am really into

an American contemporary painter who reminds me of a Rockwell that is not staged or forcing social statements (for good or ill) into his work

Mom and children paintings are 👌🏻

Fabulous, I am often dissapointed in the lack of contemporaries expressing Americana, we can't only love the 40s and 50s like rockwell

David Graeme Baker. Born in South Africa, but grew up in PA.

Was saddened to learn that his works are going for tens of thousands of dollars now.

Prints are available to the common man

I want to reach the point where purchasing originals are more or less inconsequential.

Not positive he sells prints either.

What would be painted now? It would be too painful in many modes. The 40's and 50's was an idyllic setting in time to some.

I posted this last night. My favorite painting of his.

Far from his best, I just really like it.

There are beautiful instances in life at all times even now

@PatrickAZ Most of the stuff I've posted were made in the last 10 years.

Imagine a painting of you interacting as a child with your wisened grandfather, sounds great to me

But it's calling back to something. Not current era. This is true. I guess I am speaking more towards what the current modes of life are for whites.

since we are posting paintings

@Brunswick I can't get into voice right now, but I'd like your falafel story

Wholesome stuff, @Papa Pizzagate.

Real art posting hours

I see there's a new <#517910377133244416> channel

@Reinhard Wolff He does portraits. The thought of him doing a P. Casey portrait in a few years has admittedly crossed my mind.

Much appreciated <:whitepill:439924104406106113>

Good. If you're not imagining artists painting me then you're violating membership guideline #129.

For the price of a new midsized sedan, we can have a Patrick Casey portrait at the HQ!

Big fan of this stuff. Thomas Cole in particular.

I feel like just making Rockwell style paintings is a social statement in and of itself today. Sort of like how I notice with surprise when an ad actually portrays a happy white family
