What is art Anonymous Mon Oct 23 02:01:18 2017 No.3182300 [Reply] [Original]

What's your definition of art? Why do you want to make it?

>>3182860
the video is bad I agree, but for me there are many valuable things in these white paintings (not all). For example Malevich's white on white is interesting if you read about how russia was in the 1910s and if you read about how the art world was at that time, it's rewarding to see how simple Malevich became. A more contemporary example would be Ryman's white paintings, Ryman calls himself a realist, because he's anti-illusion, he treats paint as paint, so one could call him a materialist, it's rewarding to see his paintings because they are simple and have nice compositions, that's pretty much it, they are just nice to look at and that's the beauty of them.

exactly, most of the time modern and contemporary artists are just interested in the visual aspects of painting, that's why abstract expressionism was born. People tend to disregard contemporary art as pretentious but many times the artists themselves say that their art is just paint on a canvas. And even when looking back, at a Velazquez for example, we don't care who the subject of the portrait is or what the meaning behind the portrait is, we care about how Velazquez did that painting, how it looks and how it makes us look.

>What is Art?
Art used to be a word to describe mastery and beauty. When someone was referred as an "artist", it would signify that person was bearer of great skill and mastery on something (not exclusively paintings). When something was described as "Art", that would mean it was the outcome of unprecedented talent and genius, once again not limited to paintings.

However, in more recent times, the usage of the term Art was hijacked by snobs and charlatans alike, with the intent to classify valueless garbage and products of little to no skill as "Art". Eventually, "Art" started being so misused and misrepresented that, at some point, it became equivalent to "Everything". That is to say: Nowadays, Everything can be referred to as Art. Everything IS Art. No matter what something is, from literal garbage to turds in a can, it's not uncommon for a person to be heavily frowned upon when someone dares to take the original definition of Art as basis for saying "wtf, this isn't Art!". Quick are the self-proclaimed "Experts" and "Renowned Artists" to retaliate with words like: "Who are YOU to say what is and isn't Art?"

So, going back to your question...

>What is Art?
Nowadays, after all the abuse and misuse being taken as the norm, Art is an empty, meaningless term. It means nothing. After all, if a term can be used to define everything, it might as well not be able to define anything at all.

Richter explores photography, both on the historical side and on the material side. So for example, there are paintings where he paints his family, including a nazi uncle that he had, and an aunt that had schizophrenia and ended up being killed by the nazis. He then blurs these paintings, giving them an almost abstract feel, like a memory. He has many interesting works, you should see and read things by and about him.

In order to differentiate art from let's say a "creation" it's important to know the difference between an artist and a regular person who creates something.
'Artist' is a job. An artist sells his work to make a living. Art is therefore an ORIGINAL creation that is sold. It has the value of its creator's worth at the moment.

>a realistic depiction of various kinds of depressed people and messed up family lives overlaid with absurdist visual comedy is romanticizing depression
Nothing good ever comes from Punpun's depression. All he does is consistently fuck himself over.
It's not like 13 Reasons Why where everyone is super guilty and regrets messing with the girl who killed herself.

Not just art but modern architecture as well. Its all designed to destroy the human spirit. Ive heard how having a messy bedroom negatively affects your mental state, how could constantly being exposed to disgusting and vapid art and having us live in grey, concrete slabs not have a harmful impact on our brains?

I might hang these kind of paintings on my wall and depending on the kind of house it'd probably look pretty good. And if I was drawing an interior scene and I wanted it to have paintings on the walls I like using stuff that looks like this.

But I don't really get how they're worth that kind of money. I mean, aside from the perception that they're going to increase in wealth.

I agree with the whole "You could have done it, but you didn't" argument. But I don't really get how it applies to blank and solid color paintings beyond the first dude that did it. I guess I can kind of appreciate that the first person to submit a white canvas as art was doing some bold genre subverting thing, but afterwards? What the hell are all the artists who are just doing the exact same thing adding to it?

"Shortly, It seems to me that in order to build any concept, in particular, a look at art, you need to first answer a different question, a lot more important and generalized. Why does a man live, what is the point of human existence? Using our being on this Earth in order to uplift ourselves spiritually. That means that art of ours must serve to that purpose. If, to say, I chose another principle and meaning of life for myself, evidently, art too would have a different meaning for me and I would have to make up something else. But as I define the meaning of human existence in that exact way, it seems to me that art too must help the man to evolve in that direction. Shortly, art serves to help people to change and grow spiritually. Don't know, there was a point of view that art is as educational as the rest of human intellectual and spiritual activity on this planet. I don't really believe in possibility of learning, I am almost an agnostic. Knowledge more and more distracts us from the main goal, from the main thought of our main knowledge of the world. So, the the more we know the less we know about it. We go in deep and thus lose the ability to take a bigger look at what we call life and the world. Art serves a man to help him, to say, soar spiritually, rise above himself, using what we call free will."

Only if that is what you take from the paintings, I find them pleasing to look at, if anything you're the nihilist, If you dont enjoy it that's fine but don't act like other people can't.
