I love abex and Kandinsky and the post-impressionists and all that shit, but having this man's ability would be pretty fucking badass.

Hello, OP.

[Anonymous No.1741333]

I make a point of collecting the names of proficient living 'realist' painters.
not because I care for them that much but it's good to rattle of a few names to people who complains about modern art without even putting in the effort to find out about the finely executed realistic art they seem to care so much about

I really wish this board had IDs so faggots like you wouldn't throw around "samefag" at everyone who disagrees with them.

Do you think you're in the majority in not wanting to have this painter's ability? Only one person could disagree with your or appreciate the artist?

[Anonymous No.1741338]

Sure, having this technical skill is great, but he doesn't do much interesting with it.

[Anonymous No.1741340]

what's interesting? a landscape with a small figure holding a staff?

[Anonymous No.1741343]

"The objection to Meissonier and other Salon painters like him is that they were mistaken for great creative artists when essentially they were stunt men with a superlative knack for mimicry... His name today is synonymous with all that is routine and unimaginative in 19th-century art."

how about actual story telling and expressing emotion ,rather than dull still lifes.

[Anonymous No.1741345]

>>1741340
I like how realism still life faggots always go for the "landscape with a small dude innit" excuse when they talk about anything different.And mostly envisioning concept art I presume.It just shows how narrowminded and uneducated you are about the subject.Look up some Bierstadt and get reckt pleb

bierdstadt, actually saw one of his paintings in a museum last week, great painter. I don't see your point at all, bierdstadt was a fine art painter who made massive oil paintings for rich collecters

trust me I've googled the subject alot more than you...
And it doesn't matter how you say it..."handle" or whatever.He draws only what he sees infront of him.Only purpouse of still lifes is to study or show off your technical skill.The latter of wich is not impressive to me.If he did a necromancer with some skelletons of this calliber then I can get behind it.If he did his vision on Hell with this sort of quallity, then i'd be behind it...but just to draw what's there infront of you is nothing more than technical skill with zero to no imagination.Not worth my attention

how you overlook the power of observation and it's connection to life is beyond me, sorry reality doesnt bore me enough to require fantasy in all of the art i enjoy, we will just have to agree to disagree

[Anonymous No.1741367]

I know that this is years of practice but it still blows me away. Like where do you even start painting a picture like this. How do you start? How do you mix your colors that they have the perfect hue and brightness? How do you paint the fine textures?

[Anonymous No.1741369]

>>1741367
years of observation coupled with countless hours of study and work to gain the skillsets needed, not to mention he's obviously naturally inclined towards drawing and painting

I'd say more likely he had some great teachers who knew what they were doing. You don't just get good by endlessly painting on your own. At least most of us don't.

oh and of course proper instruction/access to knolwledge

being in the right environment is super important so you arent ingraining years of bad habits that take someone with a skilled eye to notice and correct, that's why its so important that you study from the right materials if you are attempting to learn art on your own, ideally you want to be in some sort of school/atelier though

[Anonymous No.1741376]

>>1741373
yeah, i blanked ont hat post

see >>1741374

but even after receiving the proper instruction the artist must work endlessly

What separates great artists from the mediocre is passion. Their is alot of artists out there who enjoy painting but don't have a true burning passion for it, those are the ones that get left behind, but those with that burning hot passion for what they do, is what makes the difference. If you have that passion, the only thing that can hold you back, is you.

realism is dead. it's been dead for a long time

hirst, KAWS, muriyama, saville are the new masters. would rather make art like them than any of these realist painters

[Anonymous No.1742245]

>>1742196
Hirst is a better businessman than an artist, his medium is money. KAWS is also a hack, boring lowbrow kitsch. I don't know Muriyama, if you mean Murakami, then I agree he's a significant artist since he's heading the superflat movement. Saville is boss. Realism isn't dead though, it just exists alongside many other movements. That being said, I'd rather paint like Check Close today than Chuck Close in his early career.

[Anonymous No.1742247]

Wouldn't it be easier to just take a picture?

my mistake the name

but how is KAWS a hack?? and is superflat even a thing? theres like 8 artist that do superflat, and that b/c they were influneced by anime

[Anonymous No.1742497]

>>1741324
Don't want to, would rather be able to convincingly paint things that are not real than be able to meticulously copy a photograph or a scene.

Technical mastery is neat, but that's about it, I wouldn't want to base my career or my "art" around it.

[Anonymous No.1742498]

>>1742486
diff anon, i don't think kaws is a hack, but to call him a new master is laughable,

His little urban fashion movement is over, bape is dead and he closed his tokyo flagship store.

He stooped to collaborating with the MTV music awards, how low can you go. The whole faux brand, faux corporate thing is over. You're now the thing you parodied.

[Anonymous No.1742500]

KAWS is a hack because literally everything he's made is the same regurgitated pop bullshit and it's an offense to the eyes.

>Implying imitation and skill is all there is to still life paintings
>Implying you don't have the intellectual sensibility of a brick for needing a painting to shove an allegorical story up your ass to get a sense of underlying meaning. Really, skeletons? There's a reason romanticism was a vanguard of the last century. It's because it's not relevant anymore.

Nothing retarded about it. If you're not passionate, you won't put in the tremendous amount of work required to become a badass artist. I see it all the time- lukewarm artists stagnate and are more concerned with being known as artists than making actual art. Passion is necessary in pretty much every career choice, if you want to rise above the crowd.
