Art thread.
Mark Rothko up in this bitch
.
-
Anyone have an old painting where there's a woman dancing in a dark room but only she's illuminated, you can see people sitting on the sides where its really dark
>>709489951
What is the story here?
>>709490038
>>709490003
No, but that sounds interesting.
>>709489876
>>709490026
My niggas
>>709489781
I just don't see this as "art".
>>709490331
>>709490356
oh fuck ive been waiting for this
>>709490294
You need to stand in front of it for a few minutes in a silent museum, then form an opinion.
>>709490331
>>709490356
get your racist hate symbol out of our art thread, you degenerate
>>709490074
Phryne, she was set on trial for impiety (punishable by death) but at the exposal of her breast by her defender she was acquited of all charges because " [they] could not bring themselves to condemn "a prophetess and priestess of Aphrodite" to death."
I hope people are liking these
glad i was able to kickstart this thread, it was in dire need of some love
>>709490186
I found it.
I remember it being darker but I always thought it was beautiful
>>709490003
Here it is.
By Lucien Freud, I believe.
>>709490678
Her bare feet are not sanitary. this is not ok for health and sanitation.
the motherfucking ding dong
>>709490489
I've tried to see the merit in it, but it's just some black and white lines to me. There's no real technique, no mastery, nothing that has been worked on for years to achieve.
you cant hang with our gorilla
>>709490560
I like it. I had to google a higher quality.
>>709490865
Cant tell if retarded.
The Ides of March,
Et tu Brute?
>>709490653
That is nice. I wish it was better quality.
>>709490839
my 6-year-old nephew could have painted that shit.
>>709490294
because its not
artists who do shit like this are just as much salesmen as they are artists
least amount of work for most profit/reputation
>>709491052
Lmao yeah right
>>709490865
lol
And yet it's literally the culmination of a lifetime as a master artist.
>>709490915
Did women shave their pubes off back then?
>>709491384
That's actually a good question.
>>709490560
so basically a bunch of old dudes got a flash of tit and made a big important decision off it
>>709489409
What are they fighting over?
>>709491071
You couldn't be more wrong about Rothko:
For some critics, the large size was an attempt to make up for a lack of substance. In retaliation, Rothko stated:
"I realize that historically the function of painting large pictures is painting something very grandiose and pompous. The reason I paint them, however . . . is precisely because I want to be very intimate and human. To paint a small picture is to place yourself outside your experience, to look upon an experience as a stereopticon view or with a reducing glass. However you paint the larger picture, you are in it. It isn’t something you command!"
He even went so far as to recommend that viewers position themselves as little as 18 inches away from the canvas[49] so that they might experience a sense of intimacy, as well as awe, a transcendence of the individual, and a sense of the unknown.
As Rothko achieved success, he became increasingly protective of his works, turning down several potentially important sales and exhibition opportunities:
"A picture lives by companionship, expanding and quickening in the eyes of the sensitive observer. It dies by the same token. It is therefore a risky and unfeeling act to send it out into the world. How often it must be permanently impaired by the eyes of the vulgar and the cruelty of the impotent who would extend the affliction universally!"
>>709490294
>cant appreciate the perfect proportion of discreet shapes and the visualimpact of the contrast of both colours
>cant appreciate the texture and technique that is the basis of this work
>cant appreciate minimalist art
Romantic classic art isnt the only form of art, you know
>>709490294
Anything artists like is art. Anyone who likes art considers themselves as qualified as artists when it comes to deciding what is art. Anyone can like art.
Its a ruse cruise.
>>709491600
Hipster fags who claim to be connosieurs just got btfo
Bravo
>>709490100
FUCKTASTIC !
>>709490865
you didn't quote the good imho
Someone post The Butchery by Rafaelo
>>709489858
That one freaks me the fuck out. I think it's her expression
OP here.
Thanks dudes for contributing. I've saved a ton of stuff.
>>709489308
knowing the story behind this makes the painting especially creepy
>>709492577
100% agree. Plus it's just so pretty i never get tired of looking at it.
Same with this.
Satan bless all of you who have contributed.
>>709492726
Good fucking taste sir.
Personal favorite.
What do you fags look for in a painting?
I go for colour palettes, proportions, technique and sometimes, depending on the genre, the context
In classic romantic paintings i look for small details in the context, specially in Da Vinci ones
>>709490678
>>709490777
Trips confirm this shit isn't up to code
>>709493113
I look for intrigue, something that immediately gets you wondering what is going on. Then again I have no specific parameters to enjoy paintings in general.
>>709490174
why does this creep me out
>>709493401
I don't know why.. but I REALLY like this painting. Any more info about it?
>>709490218
Papers, Please
>>709493616
Apparently, it's from artist Zou Chuan but I have no more clues
>>709489831
I don't have to tell you things are bad. We all know things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work, or scared of losing their job. A dollar buys a nickel's worth. Banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and nobody anywhere seems to know what to do and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breath, and the food is unfit to eat. We sit watching out TVs while some newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way things are supposed to be.
>>709492520
She is Truth. Literally.
>>709493808
Yes it's a transition period between so much things : democracies are ill, tech improves too quickly, financial system must be kill and reborn, geopolitic changing so fast to multipolar, end of lowcost energy, environnement is collapsing, new values emerging, etc etc... World is almost ready for the biggest fuck in human history....
So take some Chabas loli instead
>>709493799
Thanks.
>>709494051
you are pretentious. literally.

Not bad, but a lot of work more to do do on this !
>>709495022
Okay. Why?
>>709495139
HR art threads and lurk ! When you see smtg that please you, search for name of artist !
new thread guys???
>>709495158
because everyone who claims to 'like art' posts it as one of their favourites but these people don't even like art, they just like 19th century history painting
>>709494676
georgia o'keefe, eh?
>>709495313
>I don't like this thing because other people also like this thing.
>>709495277
I'd like to, but already 11Am, got to move my ass..
It was a pleasure !
>>709491384
I believe it is a Neoclassical painting, so it is probably conforming to 19th Century standards of beauty more than Roman ones. I don't know what the answer to your question is though.
>>709495431
kek
>>709491729
>Romantic classic art
STOP RIGHT THERE
ROMANTIC ART WAS ONE SCHOOL AND NEOCLASSICAL IS ANOTHER AND CLASSICAL IS STILL YET ANOTHER HE'S BEEN POSTING NEOCLASSICAL ART FOR THE MOST PART BUT 'ROMANTIC CLASSIC' IS CONTRADICTORY THEY ARE OPPOSING IDEOLOGIES
>>709495431
nice try but no i don't like it because people who like it don't know what they're talking about and are completely blind to how little they know. it shows no thought about art when you say that's your favourite
other offenders:
impressionism
pre-raphaelites
futurism
art noveau
l'art pompier
german romanticism
basically all 19th century british art
art for plebs
>>709495759
>Being this fucking pretentious.
>>709495313
KILL YOURSELF RETARD
>>709495607
maybe he means romantic as in latin-derived art which would still fit the definition
>>709494133
Sigh. The name of the painting is "Truth Coming Out of Her Well". It was painted in 1896 by Jean-Léon Gérôme.
Ignorant fool.
>>709495850
it's not pretentious if i know what i'm talking about
there's nothing redeemable about 19th century art. it was art literally made only so the tasteless middle-class could enjoy it and buy it. there's nothing "high art" about this shit
>>709495759
Show us real art pleb
>>709495976
basically anything other than what i listed
>>709495887
Wew lad, don't act like you didn't just google image search that.
>>709491071
Just to play contrarian
>least amount of work for most profit/reputation
Is this implying that the less complex and less time devoted to working on something, somehow makes it less valuable? That seems a tad presumptuous, don't you think? I've seen people spend enormous amounts of time and effort on something, only in my opinion for it to turn out like shit. I've seen art, such as music or paintings, that were needlessly complicated, where as something that was simple and minimalistic made me experience more than the complicated piece could ever have.
Art, and the judgmental nature of it, is truly in the eye of the beholder. It's exactly like the anon said that you were replying to;
>I just don't see this as "art"
That's the point I'm trying to make. Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean that it isn't there.
>>709495955
>More green text.
>>709496014
post something then.
>>709489831
I'm mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take it anymore.
Good movie, excellent album.
>>709496057
i don't have any images. just google any other art style or movement other than what i posted
you can name some, right?
>>709495875
that's not what that commonly means!
>>709489858
"Oh my god Chad delete that painting right now!"
>>709496145
So you can't post anything.
So you lose.
>>709491600
You did a great job of proving the anon's point.
>>709496190
giggledlikearetard/10
>>709496230
post what? the images i don't have saved on my computer? you can't name any styles or movements so you lose, pleb
>>709496316
If you don't show up to the fight you forfeit.
You've already lost.
>>709496276
that other anon got exposed
>>709496387
what the fuck are you talking about lmao
i said i hated one painting and gave my reason why. you're all butthurt because it's your favourite so you're like POST SOME ART THEN like it means anything. no, i'm not going to dictate your taste for you. do your own research. instead of being like "oh wow there's a whole wide world of art out there, i should go explore it!" you're like "THERE'S NO BETTER ART THAN REPIN, PROVE ME WRONG"
how about you give me $5 or you lose. it's about as relevant as your request
>>709491600
All bullshit
fuck off
>>709496525
We get it dude. Your ego is vary important to you. That's vary good for you.
>>709494972
Look like a tatoo but cool
>>709496628
>buttruptured tastelet
>>709496660
someone must have used that line on you at some point i take it
>>709496525
>X is shit
>have no other variable to compare it to.
Therefore your argument is nonsense.
>>709496745
i gave you things to compare it to
you'll probably notice no one else is posting images either. wanna know why? are you smart enough to figure it out for yourself?
>>709490038
that is actually good. who/what/where/when?
>>709496728
No. I made that thing i said up all by myself. Now stop posting in my thread, you fucking sissy.
>>709496728
Ahh did daddy touch you in your no-no zone as a child? He can't hurt you anymore. You're safe now
>>709496880
really because it applies to you better than it applies to me
my point is: have a look at some art sometime
>>709496745
>>709496525
Wait made this even clearer
>X is OP's painting
>Y is your idea of what is better
>Your argument: "Y > X"
>Y can be anything that isn't X
Which is complete bullshit
>>709496885
a classic line
jesus why are you so upset i think your painting is shit? do you put that much stock in your untested opinions?
>>709496944
>NO U!
>>709496835
>I can't name one because I know I will lose this argument
kek
>>709496944
Not the same anon here but it definitely applies to you. It's one of those things you'll learn as you mature.
>>709496957
i gave a list of styles that are just as shit, so if you could name literally any other style or movement other than what i listed you'd be able to search for yourself, but since you don't know anything about art (hence your appalling taste) and thus cannot name any movements or styles you think i haven't given you any directions
>>709490865
Painters like this and Warhol, for example, are considered MASTERS... Masters of Deceit. Everyfuckinasshole that consider them great painters are fuckin idiots.
>>709497050
precedent was set with "YOU AUTO LOSE FOR NO REASON LELELELEL"
>>709497154
They aren't shit because you have nothing to compare them to.
>>709497145
>how does logic work
>>709497198
literally anything else, like i've said probably 5 times now
>>709497186
I can also see that as with your ego your need to have the last word is vary important to you. Here you go. Have a blast kid.
>>709497159
>illusionism isn't deceit
>>709497263
name one autismo
>>709497292
and by saying this you get the last word. what's this little league shit
>>709497308
you need help?
i'll give you a clue: b______
>>709495452
Ancient statues have shaved pubes.
>>709497391
b...lury paintings?
>>709490560
Yeah so how does the exposing of breast suddenly make them forgiving? i guess thats part of the bigger story
they were moved by this
>>709491538
No, that anon's description was shit. Phryne was a whore and she posed for the sculptor Praxiteles when he made his statue of Aphrodite. This was considered blasphemy, but when Hyperides defended her in court he removed her robe and the court allegedly couldn't condemn her because they believed that such beauty was actually divine.
>>709497391
Bad Perspective?
>>709497774
sounds like Hyperides was good at his profession of being a defender
He knew what he was doing
>>709497343
Not the same anon here but you did need the last word and you just told the other guy he would get the last word. You just described what would happen if you didn't respond, but you responded. So now you get the last word but by doing so, you lose. He didn't need the last word like you do, so he could have had it or not. You needed it and couldn't resist. Total failure.
>>709489858
This isn't a creepshot thread, faggot.

is it possible to Zip. all this? i want all of it
Awesome thread guys
