Or the guy that fed food coloring to thousands of flies and let them shit on a canvas for a few hours

2019-10-24 15:19:22 UTC  

Or the one which is literally just a white canvas painted white

2019-10-24 15:19:23 UTC  

It depends on the context

2019-10-24 15:19:33 UTC  

It's like this

2019-10-24 15:19:53 UTC  

The first time someone created this type of art and it got popular recognition, it was revolutionary

2019-10-24 15:20:03 UTC  

People scratched their heads over its meaning and purpose

2019-10-24 15:20:14 UTC  

People are fucking retarded then

2019-10-24 15:20:21 UTC  

50-100 years later and millions of artists have done exactly the same art

2019-10-24 15:20:29 UTC  

They kept reinventing the wheel so to speak

2019-10-24 15:20:38 UTC  

Therefore the revolution becomes the established

2019-10-24 15:20:53 UTC  

They are no longer revolutionary, they've become the art snobs

2019-10-24 15:21:01 UTC  

How about the feminists who smear period blood all over and call it performance art

2019-10-24 15:21:08 UTC  

Everything ironic is good just because it's ironic, that's not how it works

2019-10-24 15:21:25 UTC  

When irony in art was a new and fresh element, it had some value

2019-10-24 15:21:31 UTC  

If I rape and kill a child, but I call it art, is it still a crime?

2019-10-24 15:21:32 UTC  

When irony became the norm, it lost its purpose

2019-10-24 15:21:58 UTC  

I think you're losing yourself in a completely nonsensical argument

2019-10-24 15:22:18 UTC  

Maybe hitler was just expressing his artistic message

2019-10-24 15:22:20 UTC  

Do you know what postmodern art is, what it's supposed to do?

2019-10-24 15:22:54 UTC  

I went to art school, I have a masters degree from that school, it's all bull shit.

2019-10-24 15:23:06 UTC  

Can you describe postmodernism in a few short sentences?

2019-10-24 15:23:15 UTC  

I can do it in one

2019-10-24 15:23:23 UTC  

A waste of time.

2019-10-24 15:23:30 UTC  

Then you clearly haven't studied postmodernism

2019-10-24 15:23:52 UTC  

So your masters doesn't concern itself with postmodernism then, so it's meaningless in this discussion

2019-10-24 15:24:56 UTC  

Technically I guess you are right

2019-10-24 15:25:39 UTC  

But I did have to take several prerequisite classes which covered postmodern shit before I could actually get into the masters program I wanted which was for animation

2019-10-24 15:26:10 UTC  

It shouldn't change anything, but who knows, maybe it helps if I tell you that I don't like most postmodern art?

2019-10-24 15:26:51 UTC  

I fully understand the arguments and philosophy behind postmodern art

2019-10-24 15:27:37 UTC  

Well, I can tell you how I understand postmodernism and its place in the world of art

2019-10-24 15:27:50 UTC  

If you like

2019-10-24 15:28:02 UTC  

I think it's bullshit because it produces garbage that only wine sipping, large scarf, super soy latte, coastal liberals seem to love

2019-10-24 15:28:21 UTC  

Most other people just see an abstract mess

2019-10-24 15:29:08 UTC  
2019-10-24 15:29:29 UTC  

Looks more like impressionism to me

2019-10-24 15:29:40 UTC  

Well it has many postmodern elements

2019-10-24 15:30:50 UTC  

Post modern art to me is that stack of yellow painted steel bars in front of a corporate office meant to convey a sense of wonder but which in reality everyone just calls "the French fries"

2019-10-24 15:31:01 UTC  

Or like I said earlier about the toilet

2019-10-24 15:31:05 UTC  

That's an elitist view on postmodern art
