Back in those days you would get beautiful pieces such as the 'Ecstasy of St. Theresa" though. Today you get people using their menstrual blood to paint portraits.

Plus, the people who are purchasing these pieces don't know shit about art. They only know how to talk about money. To them, a silkscreen of a soup can is fucking genius and the Mona Lisa is a waste of time and effort.

The US government financially backed this kind of art POST WW2 as a way to spread their 'freedom' to other countries.

Like in most fileds there are plenty of people who are happy to have their tastes dictated to them by others.

They'd snap up the Mona Lisa too if it were sale (though it is a dreadfully overrated painting).

They only purchase those type of things to make them increase in value, later shipping them off to museums/instituion in order drastically reduce the amount of taxes since they are "donating to culture".

Art is not a measurable or definable idea. But you can still tell good art from bad art, because good art makes you feel something deeper than just shallow confusion at puerile shock media.

To take something subjective like art, something entirely made by humans with no real definition, and apply objective value to it, you have to look at what effect it has on the human emotional or mental state.

To me, I don't care what she painted it with, it's just not a good piece of work. It doesn't make me feel anything other than mild annoyance at the fact that she's clearly fucking with us, just another charlatan that creates garbage and then says "if you don't get it then you must not be as important or as smart as TRUE ARTISTS."

Like I said, this shit is worthless to me because it's just not good, and she's clearly just trying to get attention by using a medium that most people are clearly going to find distasteful.

First of all, his name is Leonardo. Secondly, Artemisia Gentileschi is a famous female artist from that general era (she's Baroque). Thirdly, sexism was much more rampant then and the art world wasn't as open to women as it was to men. That's like claiming blacks are inferior because there are no black Founding Fathers.

There are plenty of male hacks. Why reference Emin if you aren't going to mention Hirst? What about talented women like Saville or Monks? I'm not sure why you neckbeards fear women, but enjoy fucking a flashlight into your forties and never having a meaningful romantic relationship.

Gentileschi could wipe the floor with you, and if you knew anything about her life than the sexism of the time would be obvious to you. But forms of artistic education that were open to men were not open to women through history. It really shows your lack of any and all historical knowledge that you believe there was no gender bias hundreds of years ago. Do you think that was an invention of the 20th century, and the renaissance was some utopia where men and women were social equals?

In my opinion, OP's post is crap. Not because the modern art story or that creepy idea of painting with vag blood, but because is meaning is stupid: women are discriminated everywhere, for every dumb reason one could think, and that bitch complains about her period?!

And for the records, men have produced better art because they have produced MORE art: women usually couldn't become artist 'cause sexism and all the "woman belongs to the house" shit. It's only by this half of the century that women are allowed to do men's stuff like working, writing, and doing art.

anon pls. if you want to talk about "facts" and "truth", we should maybe clarify what kind of facts we are talking about here.
the only fact you really have going for you is the fact that men have a higher skill ceiling
but notice how that doesn't mean that women have a particulary low ceiling either.
and again i have to wonder what the point is. are you saying women should stop getting into art? what exactly are you people trying to say?

ther problem here is that a generalization can not be a fact. the various statistical data may be factual, but the generalized statement can not be a fact, otherwise it wouldn't be a generalization. it should be obvious but it can't be a fact and a generalization at the same time.

so yes, historically, men have shown to have a higher skill ceiling. that's (most likely) true.
but saying "men are better artists than women"? that's not a fact. it's a generalization.
/pol/faggots just like to call their statements facts to make their arguements less vulnerable. but most of the time they're not facts at all.
the world isn't so black and white that you could call something like that a "fact".

No. Saying "I haven't seen their works but Billy is better at art than Anna because Anna is female" is generalisation. Saying "men are better artist than women" is stating obvious based on the fact you already agreed with.

no. not really. you have to ask yourself, just HOW are men better artists than women?
which would lead us back to the higher skill ceiling.
but if it's just that, you can't say that "men are better artists than women" is a fact since that would imply much more than just the part with the higher skill ceiling.
it is exactly a generalization because it is only partly true, but you treat it as completely true anyway.
and there is a huge gap between that and an actual FACT.

if we go into semantics, just adding the words "on average" would make your statement true. but without those it's just a generalization.

maybe there will be a female grandmaster in the future. it's kinda pointless to argue because it's all about potential. time will tell.
for now i just assumed as true it for arguements sake.
because the artists with the "most" skill so far have been men.

but as i said before, and as your posts show: it's kinda pointless to mention since it's not like the female ceiling is particulary low or anything.

the average male artist isn't any better than the average female artist, there are just more great male painters than great female painters, because they have historically had an easier time entering in and training in the field of art. There are still artists of both genders, and there is no logical reason why the great male artists should inherently be more skilled than the great female artists.

>> No.1635076

>>1635066
There are no 'old master' females because women weren't allowed to train in the workshops of master painters, and it was thought lewd that they should be allowed to study nude models. Most U.S. presidents have been white, it's a fact. But yes, the art world is wide open now and we're seeing a large number of talented female artists come to prominence in the contemporary art world.

Though personally I think Artemisia did a better job with Judith and Holofernes than Caravaggio did, and Cassatt is as good as any impressionist.

well i know. but regardless of that, there is no master on that level, and right now that is a fact.

Just stop it. Per definition art is anything made by humans. Fuck your aesthetic value. The reason a lot things exist is because they can. You may want to see some kind of deeper meaning behind it but that's your thing. The same way whatever god you believe in your thing is. Accept that not everyone gives a rat's ass about an idea of a piece of art and others should respect that there are people who like to see some kind of meaning in something.

Christ mate, don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Also, by symbol drawing do you mean like actual symbols and designs?
Cause you could just be a tatto artist, or ya know go back to be a graphic designer.

Or you know... You could move to New Orleans where i live and thrive off of art.
