Because nearly all of the great names in art we know and love today have been part of a great conspiracy that still exists today. Through masterful marketing techniques they're able to trick the credulous and wealthy culture vultures into thinking these "works of art" are masterpieces worth millions of dollars. In reality, it's, as you said, just a bunch of flowers. The hidden meaning, the message, is the marketing ploy. That said, this isn't the case with all art. There are some truly beautiful and awe-inspiring pieces, some of which are capable of changing the way we look at the world. This surely isn't one of them.

>>4879248
spot on

>>4879202
Because fuck everyone else. If you don't like it who gives a shit.

>>4879248
B-but he suffered, he was deep and tortured u-um suicide.. death, d-depth.

>>4879248
van gogh sold one painting in his lifetime for 400 francs, he was not part of a conspiracy to make millions. that said, i prefer this version

i will post some more, hopefully they will change your mind

>>4879244
well now all I can think about is dead flowers.

>>4879278

>>4879287

Nobody said that art is objective. I don't like neither Joyce nor(frankly) Lolita, but I understand that they have changed literature.
In the same way, I don't like Dvorak nor Debussy, but I still understand their importance.

I assume you would be a fan of abstract art then?

>>4879304
his landscapes always remind me of lsd. i wonder if he had some sort of natural, psychedelically skewed perception

>>4879202
It was how van Gogh experienced the flowers in front of them...I have never seen anyone before him paint sunflowers quite like this and it's unique in it's time, this type of painting style did not exist before it.
It's not just a bunch of flowers, it's Van Gogh's experience of those flowers and how he painted them.
Would you be able to explain to an alien species what a human experience is of seeing flowers?
Let alone a deranged human experience?

If you like it is a second question, but your dismissal sounds a lot like looking at a text and just dismissing if for 'just a bunch of words'.

The value is about the intimacy it evokes between us and the painter.

Sunflower = The inception of reality
Dead Sunflower = End of that reality
He was thinking of suicide.

>>4879353
>Van Gogh's experience of those flowers

van gogh isn't considered an impressionist painter

>>4879335
mane i no it

>>4879374
He is generally grouped into the post-impressionists. Who were still impressionists.

>>4879374
Rembrandt isn't an impressionist, but all paintings with models and objects in front of them are influenced by their experience of them while painting...it's not a 1:1 copy.

I'm surprised no one has posted this one.

>>4879353
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Oak_Tree

>>4879392

Fair point, but that guy is not a painter thus he has no clue how to represent the experience of things in front of them with canvas and paint...so there is nothing to base level of craft involved since it's lazy.

Skill is something you can measure, especially in paint.

The only art that ever truly impressed me was Gala Contemplating the Mediterranean Sea which at Twenty Meters Becomes the Portrait of Abraham Lincoln.

>take off my glasses
>at last I truly see

Plebs think good art is the level of shock and awe.

>>4879409
This?

I know nothing about fine art so I don't tend to judge works on anything but a personal basis. I think admiration is best served this way if you're a pleb.

The problem is a) getting people to admit this, and b) getting people to accept that there exists schools of thought which will consider fine art (or lit or film etc etc) with specific reasons that you never will.

Is Van Gogh a revered artist? I always assumed he was a popular artist.

>>4879409
I've been to Florence, Italy.
This was supposed to be the great stagnation of art historically...according to the most influential art critics almost the death of art.

I was weeping almost non-stop as I walked through the Uffizi Gallery.

>>4879425
Yes. Dali was, I think, the only artist having fun with art.

>>4879430

No, no...Van Gogh beats the shit out of all of his contemporaries, but was completely glossed by galleries and even his brother for popularity and profit.

The guy is strangely underrated as a draughtsman because most people don't really have an understanding of painting...but to his contemporaries he was already known to be truly great.

You mean the guy that stood trail for being such a massive sell-out in front of his fellow surrealists and then proceeded to sell-out even harder?

>>4879202

I don't know. That's why I read literature, cause I can tell that. But one thing I know from experience is that you start out even in lit not knowing what good really means and you figure it out through reading and theory and history. I'm sure it's the same with art. There's obviously a reason. As much as people think art critics are circle jerking faggots, they don't like things for no reason, especially with such a large consensus. Critics are less scared then you think about pointing out they think something is shit.

Random anecdote:
An old spanish whore wrote in her memories, a couple years ago, that she saw Dalí fucking the corpse of a duck

http://www.elmundo.es/suplementos/cronica/2009/695/1234047613.html

>El artista y su diabólico bigote hicieron su entrada rodeado de un grupo de impresionantes mujeres -altas y rubias- a las que llamaba las suecas y a quienes pedía que lo aclamaran junto a la plantilla del San Mario: «Divino, llamadme divino». Era la época en la que pintaba el Cristo crucificado, la del Dalí más excéntrico, aunque Lydia nunca imaginó que tanto. «Tráigame un pato», dispuso un firme y casi sexagenario Salvador Dalí tras sentarse en uno de los sillones del local. Cuando uno de los lacayos del pintor regresó con el animal -vivo- la joven quedó tan horrorizada que abandonó la estancia y se marchó al piso de arriba. Las suecas cogieron el pato y lo inmovilizaron con fuerza sobre una mesa mientras una de ellas desabrochaba a Dalí los pantalones. Le dieron un cuchillo al maestro y este lo usó para cortarle el cuello al bicho justo cuando lo penetraba. Disfrutaba con los estertores del pobre animal.

I'm just literally telling you what happened with Dali and the surrealists.

Someone's art history is lacking...bet you don't even know what happened when an impoverished Buñuel asked to borrow some money from his millionaire friend Dali.

Wait, I bet you don't even know who Buñuel is.

Why is religious art so edgy?

I guess we know who's truly wearing the fedoras.

The expression is what gets me. Christ is truly human here.

>>4879596
I've always wondered what atheism did for classical art except systematically try to eliminate it by discrediting it as relevant...walking through church is like walking through an art gallery.
The church employed the greatest artists of history and commissioned them to make masterpieces when no one was interested in employing them.

>>4879335
I just thought the exact same thing when i saw that image

>>4879613
wait, explain...I don't think I'm getting that.

>>4879596
I know you are shitposting with buzzwords but I am baffled as to what you find edgy about the works posted here thus far.
Religion really did fuel art for a long time with patronage and one should read the Bible irrespective of their own personal beliefs in order to understand two millennia of cultural references.

>Martyrdom of /tv/

>>4879616
The parallel is the Church recruits artists to create their propaganda.

>>4879617
The artists fueled religion. You have it backwards.

Now Christian art is a Kirk Cameron movie.

>>4879558

>>4879617

>>4879630
So, they're smarter.

>>4879617
Yeah you really have to read the bible to understand all the allusions in the western canon religious texts were the primordial attempts at fantasy and fan fiction. It's like starting with the Greeks only in literature! It's great!

>>4879634

w-what...are you soft of mind?

The artists commissioned by the church were not forced to be a spokesperson for the church, some of them were gay, murderers, suspected heathens and atheists.

why are you paying this tard any attention?

>>4879202
It's just bullshit and bullshit. Art should be silent. If you look at music it's a lot harder to be pretentious about it because it can touch your feelings a lot easier. It's harder for art critics to stand there and tell you what to feel because the music can speak for itself. That's how it should be, although pedantics are very resilient.
Just look at this video for example where they are discussing the works of the composer Gustav Mahler. As much as i like Slavoj Zizek, i think this entire debate pointless and ridiculous. Mahler was probably taking a shit when he planned the last section of his 9th symphony.

>Dank, is an adjective which is over-used by people in general and mostly by people trying to appear cool to their stoner friends. Dank means dark, sticky, gooey, and potent. It was originally a common word to describe disgusting basements and caves ect. Then the world of pot took it over and was using it very correctly to describe very potent strains of marijuana, seeing as the definition of dank meets all the qualities you find in good marijuana. Then "squares" and people who wanted to look cool to stoners started using it to describe anything they think is "cool" which in turns makes them believe they themselves are "cool" as well. In reality it makes them seem as illiterate as an ape. M&M's are not dank, chips are not dank, and your clothes are definitely not dank, you need to stop overusing and killing the word.

A fine example of how not to paint a scene: Of course the painter had talent, it takes an eternity to learn to draw ships and waves like that. But then again, the sea in general looks super weird, the sky is mostly clear and friendly and even the seagulls are just an afterthought, because Backhuysen realized thats a storm he is supposed to depict here.

>>4879573
Not a fan of greco, but I can see how others may like it.

>>4879577
Its supposed to be a famous princess, who got gangraped and lynched by the mob during the French Revolution. You would never guess by just looking at the painting, because the people here seem rather upset about the murder. Still great stuff

>>4879586
Thats what happened to the poor folk, who were not rich enough to buy a ticket for Noahs Arch. I guess they deserved to die like that.

>>4879598

>>4879599

>Look at the colours, the textures, the brush work, the arrangement.

those are just incidental causes, the immediate causes is brain chemistry responding to those inputs.

the inputs are irrelevant really, if we stimulate the brain chemistry directly the same effect arises. Go figure

It's funny, you see Van gogh so much, you take for granted how great he is.

Sit down and try to paint that. I mean not a cheap copy either, but actually try and make something so vibrant and alive.

>this is the smartest board on 4chan

This.

There are a lot of "artists" that reference and question and dissect culture, but there are few artists.

The fact is only very few people can paint like this. How can anyone think Jackson Pollock is on the level of Van Gogh?

Jackson Pollocks greatest work is his caricature of an artist, the impression of an artist he does. He is a great actor.

The composition is really good and almost makes one forget that this is piss. The colours really blend well. The piss evokes blood in a way and makes one think of the suffering Christ endured. At least he wasn't drowned in piss.

That's a Barnett Newman piece. I think abstract art is really powerful and awe inspiring, but the internet seems to disagree,

>We need more abstraction!
God no. Abstract art has to be the most shallow kind of art there is, ironically enough.

Isn't that porn though?

Rothko was all about money and there is very little craft involved. Abstraction is very hit and miss and seems to lack the craft that makes an idea 'art'. A few months ago I was at an exhibition of modern young Brazilian artists in my country and it was very disappointing and crude. One piece was just literally straws strwen across the carpet for fucks sake.

Do arabesques qualify as abstract art ?

I would so say.

Oh wow, you can literally see the abolishment of classical art the second butterfly stepped in...it was fun while it lasted guys!

I love it all actually. Just balancing it out. And letting it get too Rothko

>that's not the point

Aww. That's it then.

My God, this is beautiful. What is this? I'm even tempted to buy a print of it for my room.

Your leanings to the left and your leanings to the jewish just pour out of your tastes and comments...of course you'd defend a Rothko in a thread with nothing but hardcore classical painting.

>>4881075
Your irrational racism has clouded your vision or reading comprehension. I was not defending Rothko, I was posting alternatives to his rather dead ended dentist office stuff.

Your tumblr stuff is small as fuck and some of the more mediocre hazy art has contributed to reaching the image limit. Oh well, to each his own.

It's what I could find at the time.
This one's better. Trading it out now.
