A thread fell into deep contemplation for this.

Your opinion is more pretencious and useless than the art of hopeless romantics.

>>4208526
Yes, it's escapism but escapism isn't bad in itself.
They're not delusions but a perspective of a person.
Yep, the majority of artists aren't authentic.
What "form of truth" are you talking about op ?

The happiest I’ve been in years has been getting high and drawing for hours on end. God, I’m so lonely. This is my escape.

>>4208545
High on what?

>>4208526
ok

attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed.

All the namefags on here may posses this quality, but it would be hard to find a master artist who has this quality.

>>4208526
real life is escapism from our mind

>>4208526
It totally depends on the artist. There are also artists who will show you the ugly truth, ie that people are also basically still nothing but perverted animals.

tired of seeing empty ass landscapes

Edibles.

woah

Actual truth can barely be perceived in the first place, your reality will always be colored by your bias. How can you ask for authenticity in art when the world you live in is a fabrication in itself?

>>4208526
I too remember navelgazing like this while in High School. How adorable are you to think "authenticity" exists.

>>4208526
It depends, states of "flow" aren't really considered a form of escape. Being in a state of flow is being present in the moment while intensely focusing on what you're doing which would be the opposite of escapism. It really depends on the underlying motivation of the person drawing if it is escapism or not.

That is the European perspective. Europe is all about concept and idea. America is all about the material world and getting what you can out of that. That's why all of the treatises of Painting stressed "Nature" in some vague way of getting back to basics.

>>4208526
is this a bit or are you really this lacking in self awareness

>>4208526
>Nature is a form of escapism

Don't know, don't care. This is like when people ask "Are video games art?" Who cares? It's cool, it's fun, and it requires a lot of time and skill to become proficient. I ain't trying to change the world with art. I just want to make cool images.

>>4209122
this, let me draw my cool shit in peace.

>>4208526
I use art to escape the struggles of growing up in duh hood.

>>4209122
FUCK YES!!!

This person gets it. Life is boring as fuck and more than not shitty...when I make art I don't care if others like it or have some sort of whimsical experience...it's just some ideas in my head that I want to see with my eyes, interact with and just forget the idea that nothing matters...

If there's atheists, why aren't there arthiests?

Does art really have to be anything after impressionism and accidental splatter paintings? It's all emotional garbage we can't keep in, thus, we project...does it make any difference? Absolutely not...no social movement has ever adopted a piece of visual artwork as a banner. Art doesn't mean anything besides what emotions the artist is feeling.


I'll be the first to say it...not one person on this board is going down in history the way Da Vinci did...they won't ever write books about us, any one of us, but doing art is a nice escape from how the world is...you don't like your world, make anew one.

Does it matter? No, it's just people having fun.

Do you ask a child why they jump in a bouncing castle? More than likely not.

Appreciate art or don't, questioning it is just stupid and won't amount to anything because art is suggestive to whatever the viewer notices most.

Romanticism and idealism can also be a model for what reality could be. Art doesn't have to escapism, it can comment on reality and act as an ideal to strive towards.

>>4208526
Yes, you're going to die.
Now get drawing.

>>4208526
Art is escapism if that's your intention.

You can make art stating how bad escapism is. Neon Genesis Evangelion or Paranoia Agent do just that.

Someone who writes "persuit" has no right to opinions regarding anything above a nut screwer on an assembly line.
