I am not opposed to impressionism or even abstract art, but this shit is retarded.
Underlying understanding and mastery of skill is necessary to express ideas beyond the bounds of it, in my humble estimation
@metasophocles so many art students I've met can't draw a hand or basic facial features.
@metasophocles in 99.9% of cases I agree. I think the filmmaker Mdotstrange did a lot of good stuff, even though he is not particularly technically skilled though.
it's tragic to look at what was produced all through the reniessance to now. And how sort of a time it took.
Short*
The funny thing is how many people openly agree from all walks of life that modern art is hideous trash, while anyone can enjoy and be taken in by the beauty of a gothic cathedral, or renaissance art
Beauty is the natural order, we know how to express it
bioleninism man
ugly people project ugliness onto everything
but I would never call a whole group of people ugly; everyone is beautiful. you are beautiful. love yourself.
Beyonce's music video for the apt named "Apesh*t" is a good example of most people's position on Europeans.
Sadly I heard that modern art was a Pozed project of le CIA in reaction to socialist realism
What is socialist realism?
Traditional soviet artworks meant for mass inspiration
It was actually terrifically beautiful
I think of the usual blocky stuff when I think of soviet propaganda. I didn't know they had a realist style.
@metasophocles wasn't there a thing about JBP owning this art in some photo shoot?
Let me try an find an example
This is an example that comes to mind
how pleasant
JBP, for all his flaws, does wink just enough to entice the person already looking that direction.
Indeed he has alot to offer a mind that has nuance
@metasophocles who paint?
I did make the mistake of seeing him speak.
@metasophocles Sadly the art was more state mandated to achieve the illusion of the USSR being a Utopia to outsiders... On the inside, however it was of course a different story.
I think the creator is the name on the jpg line
Well I am certainly not marxist, but art as a tool of inspiration to the ideal is not necessarily a bad model @The Eternal Anglo
it's not
the guy is a composer
Sheeeeit I just pulled that image from le googel
oh wait no
more than one Vasily Petrovich who are Russian and in the arts
go figure!
Meh, mid 50s on they really went Russian nationalist in opposition to early leninist ideology
Look what the west did to western Evrope
Like I said I am definitely not a marxist, but I can see the benefits of other thought systems
