This plus shepard ferry/his imitators fills the same niche as pictures of Elvis and Buddy Holly playing pool together with angel wings

[Anonymous No.5107815]

I agree.
The current street art movement is on the way out.

Also we are becoming oversaturated with murals.
Put the art back in the galleries!

Kitsch is like a bad joke.
The set up is derivative and you see the punchline coming a mile away.
And even though you guessed the punchline, you can't help but cringe when you actually hear it.

[Anonymous No.5107828]

I'm pretty tired of the intellectual propperty/cartoon/kaws/spongebob fad.
I think it's run it's full course by now.

90% of resin pouring would fall into kitsch.
Actually, i think the hypergloss of resin always puts a work closer to kitsch.
I think resin can still work on some pieces, but it borders on bad taste in the same way black velvet has been discredited.

[Anonymous No.5107884]

>>5107825
what is the "punchline" in this piece? i cant tell

[Anonymous No.5107895]

>>5107884
Well it's not quite a punchline.
The problem with that specific piece is that it is taking common things we all know. Elvis, Ar-15, and fisher price. And somehow it manages to be less than the sum of its parts.
It pretends to be art.

beautifully put. you should spend more time writing with that pen of yours. something about your posts are fun to read.

[Anonymous No.5107924]

>>5107911
Thanks.
I've thought a lot about art and writing my ideas comes off a lot better than the drunken rambles i torture my friends with.

For fine art, at least, It's important to know about art history and theory.

You'll know exactly how to justify any bullshit you want to pull off and it will help you find direction.
If you dont go somewhere on purpose, you'll end up nowhere on accident.

do you have a blog? i would love to see /hear you speak more.
you're very opinionated, but its because you're knowledgeable and intelligent, so its very interesting to hear how you process things. i get the impression that you tend to see things from a different perspective than most, because your creative mind and strong personality allows you to think outside of the box.

honestly, i could picture myself listening to a podcast or video essay by you. i think you would be very good at that kind of thing.

i know it sounds like im simping, but i really do like their writing style. besides, i dont even know if it's a guy or girl anyways, so i can't simp in the first place.
im just genuinely interested in their writing, which is very weird for me since i haven't even finished a book i actually liked in years. hell, i struggle to finish a news article.

[Anonymous No.5108059]

i think you should really start a blog, even if it does only feel like inane rambling. really, i think you should do much more, but a blog is a good starting point.
you're a natural critic, and your personality is expressed beautifully through your writing. you shouldn't waste your talent on channers when you could be speaking to much more intelligent audiences. with the gifts you have, i think you're capable of much more than this website.

sorry if i sound overly passionate, but i really am impressed.

Tbh i am working on a book. Art pics, short stories, and my thoughts on art.
An art manifesto. Im probably like 130 pages in and i hope to get at least 200 before i spend my stimulus check on printing it.

How do people even blog these days? On a personal website?
I appreciate your comments.

[Anonymous No.5108095]

>>5108075
oh well, if you're doing that, then the blog is nothing in comparison. im glad you're working on something though. i hope it goes well.
do you know what you're going to call your manifesto? i'll buy a copy when you release it.

[Anonymous No.5108191]

>>5107841
I would go ahead and just say that it's a craft and not art at all.

Art is simply an expression of an idea. I'm shure the artist had something in mind when he created that piece so I don't know how it can be imitating art

[Anonymous No.5109382]

>>5109271
the power balance is firmly slanted towards government and corporations. "power to the people" implies "restore the power balance so individual citizens have an equal impact on the world we live in", but i think you already knew that. they are not diametrically opposed, but mutually inclusive.

[Anonymous No.5109424]

>>5109382
what I wanted to refer to actually was equality between people, not equality between the state and people. Because thats what I believe that picture wants to mean.

some people are weaker, some are stronger. That means you need the state to even out and help the weaker ones to create equality. But if you remove the power of the state, it wont be able to do that anymore, and inequality between people will rise.

So in other others, you either have equality, or give power to the people. You cant have both. You cant have your cake and eat it too.

Shitty pop art is now "the most" kitsch art?
I swear this term becomes more and more meaningless by the fucking day. Eventually every single art movement will fall under kitsch somehow I swear.

Well the entire contemporary art fields pretends to be cool and high culture while being nothing but trash.

If it not kitch to call this a painting?

[Anonymous No.5109482]

>>5109458
90% of all art can be called gratuitous dog shit made for easy consumption for the masses, which is the closest definition of kitsch I've been given.
Wanna know why we don't call all art kitsch dogshit though?
A. Because even kitsch art has appeal.
B. Because it would be kitsch in itself to dub all art kitsch no matter how appropriate.

[Anonymous No.5109483]

>>5109448
You cant use pop art as a catch-all term. Especially with your post's attitude.
It makes it too easy to disregard your opinion because almost nothing that's been posted is actually pop art.

>Eventually every single art movement will fall under kitsch somehow I swear.
Obviously. that's the whole point. The fact that it's so vague just allows it to mean "thing that I don't like." It lets you insult someone and implicitly praise yourself by saying you have good taste and they don't.
No wonder why people love using it so much

Nah, that one is fine imo.
This one by duchamp is almost inventing kitsch.

>>5109792
Everything does have the potential to become kitsch. If it becomes popular enough.

It's why one guy can tape a banana to the wall and make the news.
But the banana idea was so shallow that it was almost immediately over. It's not like you can tape an apple to the wall and pretend it's a new thing
The idea of taping an apple to the wall after seeing the banana is an example of the creation of kitsch. You get it?
