Sounds like a miserable way to experience life

check out art by frank frazetta >>3672653

Hey I love this one too.
This is a painting from the Romantic era if I'm not mistaken. Look it up on Google and you'll get more paintings like this, some will inspire you too hopefully.

Why not both! I came here from /k/ to get away from all the pol shitposting during the summer, and to get back into painting and drawing.

>thinks liking art and liking guns is mutually exclusive
>I don't think it's possible to have some sort of emotional reaction to a piece of art or nothin.
>proceeds to falsify that statement

>>3672714

>>3672781
>I's dont be gettin no feelins from gay picktursh
>Ur dumb i gots more guns than you

Please just leave

>>3672796

>>3672671
i was on /pol/ for a few days.

snapped out of it yesterday

>>3672890
i also like guns, but i was a nogunz up until last year

ive been drawing for 10 years tho

i think for me, ive always been technically fascinated. i like how guns work n i like how people accomplish drawings. you can like it in the same way prob.

>>3672653
So...you do think you can have an emotional reaction to art? Sounds like you're just figuring out your tastes bud.

>>3672653
Aren't guns art? A form of craftsmanship?

>>3672907
art ain't real so they're not really comparable.

>>3672904
I don't think so. I don't understand the feelings when I look at it. tell me why you know.
pls don't make fun of me I don't understand this stuff. and pls don't tell anyone about this I will give source on cheapest ammo so you can save money if you don't.

You should contemplate more on how you feel. You say art has no emotional impact on you; what about music?

>>3672989
I gochu boo. I won't tell anybody.

Art is kind of complicated to define. I think we can all agree that art is some sort of creation made with the intent to invoke an emotion, aesthetic purposes or it is created for its own sake. Whatever the intent the artist has, the audience's response defines the art's place in the world, from Baroque masterpieces to furry porn.

What do you feel when you look at the Inferno piece? Is it just a sense of appreciation for its beauty? Or is it an appreciation for the story being told?

>>3673000
mad world makes me sad

I don't understand the relevance of pointing out that you like guns. It's like saying I don't like country music, I like drinking kool aid. Guns and art specifically painting are two completely different things that don't have anything to do with each other.

>>3673005
both I guess
guns are beautiful but they don't make me feel things.
the Roman man scares me but I can tell he's a good person I think. he's like a friend even though you don't drink with him. he knows stuff and that's good cause I don't know stuff. the people in the ground are bad people I think. and I think they did bad stuff but i feel bad for them cause I don't think they knew the consequences when they did bad stuff. and I think the Roman man knows they didn't but he don't care. he looks like he cares kinda about the other guy. cause he don't know either until now but now he knows not to be bad and that scares me. the other guy makes me feel stuff but I don't like it it makes me really sad.

What do you think of this one? Really one of the first that caused me to have a real emotional reaciton. It's called "Marooned"

>>3673023
it's scary to be alone and no way to go home. it's scary cause you ain't got to options or choice but to sit there. but it's more scary that there's no tree there to hang yourself so you don't even got the choice on how to die. I dont like it.

>>3673020
Do you know the story of Dante's Inferno? Because that's pretty accurate actually.

>>3673029
no

>>3673020
What the fuck?

Weird thread.

>>3673029
>The story of Dante's Inferno
lol, some story. Dude goes to hell on a visitors pass, sees some fucked up shit, leaves.
No one gives a shit about Purgatorio or Paradiso, Beatrice was the original waifu.

>>3673030
tdlr it's a 14th century poem where Dante (the Roman guy) is led through the Nine Circles of Hell by the poet Virgil (the guy in red). As they descend toward the center of Hell where the devil lives, they see each circle is reserved for certain degrees of evil acts with corresponding punishments. What's being depicted is the Ninth Circle where the treacherous are damned.

>>3673058
I like it. but it don't make me feel stuff.
>>3673071
so they were really bad

>>3674013
Of all those you want the 103? Ha!
The VEPR is a beauty.
I might post pics.

>>3672661
It's the American mindset. Art is froufrou European shit.

>>3674257
yes I agree

>>3673066
I got a hearty chuckle out of that, and suprisingly accurate.

>>3672661
>I don't think it's possible to have some sort of emotional and sexual attachment to a woman
Sounds like a miserable way to experience life

If you're interested in learning about the poem, I highly recommend listening to an introductory lecture. The poem was written 7 centuries ago, you will not be able to understand shit and nearly everything will fly over your head otherwise.
The good news is, there's a really, really interesting and well-done lecture in a torrent called "The Teaching Company (my favorites)" on thepiratebay. I can’t recommend it enough. The folder inside was called "Dante's Divine Comedy" or something.
Here's the highest quality scans you can find on the internet of Doré's gravures for the poem:

why are you pretending to be an american redneck

To be fair a lot of american rednecks that I know (at least the one who actually work on a farm or shop) seem to appreciate the skill and work that goes into the fine arts. They are turned off by the percieved degeneracy of the modern art scene, but appriciate the classics, and even some surrealism.

Probably comes from all the idiots calling them stupid for living the way they want to. Shit I was in a pole barn two weeks ago talking about crosshatching with a farmer and his two sons.

>>3672653
>I don't like art. I like guns.
yeah that doesn't even pass as b8 AT. ALL.
yet there are 37 posts in this thread.
does anyone here realize that there are anons from other boards, going to random boards and trolling the shit out of them?

>>3672653
congrats, you're a closeted homosexual!

>>3677359
Yes, but it's fun ilbeit trite bait that makes is talk about larger societal issues with relation to the perception of art.

Bait as social discourse.

>>3677155
Why are they killing babies?

>scary
>I dont like it.
Yet you like a painting that's set in the freezing depths of Hell where people are trapped in ice and bleeding.

You remind me of an autistic Norwegian teenager I once knew, maybe get diagnosed.

>>3672671
>came here to get away from all the pol shitposting
I have bad news for you anon

>>3678340
Well, it's likely that all of those people in the painting would betray you in some way, since that's their particular sin that they are collectively being punished for.

>>3672653
this is from midnight before christmas.

>>3673071
The guy in red is Dante, you can tell because of the big nose :>) also, Virgil has the laurel on his head, he is the great poet
