Nope. First one is classic art, second one is modernist, third one if post modernist.

>>11232863
given that anti-art was invented in 1913 it's arguable that it is in fact the highest of high modernism

Last panel should be the first panel again with "I am not a genius"

>>11232877
incorrect
>>11232970
>>11232996
correct

>>11232877
correct. Dada was the last movement and logical conclusion of Modernism.

Just for the sake of discussion, what do we mean when we say genius?

>>11233069
smart boi

This guy >>11233069 has a thought bubble that says "I'm a genius!"

>>11233069
Someone who: produces new affects that did not previously exist, the same way Michelangelo and Sophocles did; someone who demands imitation; someone who perfects an existing style or created a new style to perfect (Burroughs could count if he wasn’t a retarded pedophile who couldn’t take anything seriously long enough to write well)

So, Houllebecq is a genius for writing incelcore, Joyce is a genius for schizolinguistic architectonics, Pynchon for paranoiacprose, Melville for hermeticmundaneautism, Blake for theoarchitectonicschizpoetics etc

No one outside of Kafka and Proust who isn’t white or male could count as a genius by definition since all female writers are follower hacks and none of them could be said to perfect anything.

He who grasps the Father's ray with his bare hands.

>In ancient Rome, the genius (plural in Latin genii) was the guiding spirit or tutelary deity of a person, family (gens), or place (genius loci).[3] The noun is related to the Latin verb genui, genitus, "to bring into being, create, produce", as well as to the Greek (ιδιοφυΐα < αρχαία ελληνιkή ~ idiophiia < ancient Greek) word for birth.[4] Because the achievements of exceptional individuals seemed to indicate the presence of a particularly powerful genius, by the time of Augustus, the word began to acquire its secondary meaning of "inspiration, talent".[5] The term genius acquired its modern sense in the eighteenth century, and is a conflation of two Latin terms: genius, as above, and Ingenium, a related noun referring to our innate dispositions, talents, and inborn nature.[6] Beginning to blend the concepts of the divine and the talented, the Encyclopédie article on genius (génie) describes such a person as "he whose soul is more expansive and struck by the feelings of all others; interested by all that is in nature never to receive an idea unless it evokes a feeling; everything excites him and on which nothing is lost."[

Pretty good at un-abstract landscapes.

Grasping a guys ray seems pretty gay desu

Emily Dickinson isn't a hack you retard. Study poetry for more than two seconds and you can see that. Fucking retard.

>>11233069
I'm pretty sure genius comes from geist or something similar and all along its meaning used to be that of "spirit", not as a ghost but as an "essence", "epitome" or "embodiment" of a virtue

Teehee

>>11233105
guy is trying to clarify what is being discussed. nothing wrong with that you momo

>>11233069
Big brain

>>11233069
That's the point. They all twist the definition to find a way of making himself a genius

>>11232863
The pseud that made this (original comic) would have to know "genius" in fine art terms - I assume so, since they're painting - comes from I. Kant's Critique of Judgment. In CoJ, "genius" doesn't mean some individual excellence in abstract thinking, like how retards abstractly think of Einstein, but some individual who can shed light on common feelings of beauty, emotions and meaning across an entire culture. E.g. Shakespeare is great for his formal properties, but they are only great since they transport some cultural understanding, due to the way his words were placed together.

brainlet

>>11233069
This is post modernism

>>11237815
Last panel should still contain the thought bubble.

>>11232863
yes, metamodernism is for brainlets who want to create something with basically the same underpinnings as postmodernism but want to avoid the stigma that has accrued around pomo

probably not
