Heil Hitler

>>6331053
It's not good. There are just so many small details that feel wrong.

>>6331065
He always has those weird issues. The stairs overlapping the window don't look right, it's hard to tell where the ground in front of the stairs stops and the wall next to it starts, the roof in the background looks vertical, and all kinds of small things that are just weird (the trees are blocking the stairs!). And I'm just now noticing that the lower leftmost window makes no sense w/r/t perspective. His work is the gift that keeps on giving, you can just look at them for like fifteen minutes and notice new oddities.

>>6331065
>>6331091
Maybe he would have been better if he got the chance to go to art school.

>>6331091
>bad perspective
wow, how proto-cubist. so ahead of his time

>>6331091
That one is clearly a throwaway he did 15 things on and intentionally didn't care about

>>6331100
nice triple dubs btw

>>6331091
Maybe if his ruler didn't have 90 degree bends in it he wouldn't have had those problems.

fuck op, that image seems like a funny joke but it triggered me because that's how i write when chicks text me, now i need a safe space but where do you go to get away from yourself?

>>6331387
get drunk, pass out, run til you pass out, pass out til you wake up, then pass out again, then take LSD so you can learn to cope with yourself and move past your egocentricities.

>>6331053
>Hitler in charge of perspective
literally how do you fuck that up? fourth graders can figure it out.

>>6331503
actually i'm having a panic attack because i met the chick i texted shit like that to at work and now i think it's a setup to get me fired because my work is fucking great and some kind of ethics violation is the only way they can get rid of me...i feel like i'm in one of those super paranoid lsd trips but i havent done acid in years ... damn

>>6331203
Nobody else noticed that thing you did. But I noticed that thing you did, anon. Cheers.

>>6331550
He was kind of mentally sick. Which should be obvious from the rest of the story.

>>6331053
The joke is that most of the pseudointellectual dimwits who would say this is "bad art" would turn around and gush all over Rothko and Pollock.

>>6331930
It's objectively bad art because Hitler is trying to realistically represent a scene and fails. By his own metric his work is bad.

>>6331932
You don't know what Hitler was attempting to paint. By Hitler's own metric, early Renaissance paintings are among the best works of art ever executed, yet many of those have perspective and anatomical issues.

But that won't stop the pseudointellectual dimwits with an axe to grind to suddenly become supreme art critics in the case of Hitler, meanwhile stumble over themselves to defend dadaist and abstract expressionist garbage from any criticism.

>>6331947
>You don't know what Hitler was attempting to paint.

Uhh I mean to me he's drawing a staircase to the open door of a house. Dunno what it looks like to you.

>early Renaissance paintings are among the best works of art ever executed, yet many of those have perspective and anatomical issues

They were painting in a different way to 19th century realists. There was a development in technique. You're comparing apples to oranges.

>But that won't stop the pseudointellectual dimwits with an axe to grind to suddenly become supreme art critics in the case of Hitler, meanwhile stumble over themselves to defend dadaist and abstract expressionist garbage from any criticism.

The pure ressentiment of a philistine.

>>6331959
It looks like a watercolor hastily executed because he had short deadlines to meet. Unlike you, he had to work for living or otherwise starve. So given those restraints, his lack of formal training, and the medium he was working with, his work is by no means terrible.

>The pure ressentiment of a philistine.

Coming from a pseudointellectual dimwit, I'll wear the accusation of "philistine" like a badge of honor.

>>6332002
>It looks like a watercolor hastily executed because he had short deadlines to meet. Unlike you, he had to work for living or otherwise starve. So given those restraints, his lack of formal training, and the medium he was working with, his work is by no means terrible.

Waa waa waa >muh feelings

If your work is bad, it's bad. Stop with the special pleading.

>>6332009
Except your opinion isn't fact, which is why Rothko and Pollock are so well beloved despite their working looking like kindergarten finger paintings.

>>6331053
:(

anyone have a version of this thats actually readable?

I don't really get this meme.
Did someone post that Caesar's book contained "corn" when it couldn't because of historical reasons and then people made fun of him?
Can someone post a link to the original thread?
Please this has been bothering me.

>>6332014
Hahahahahahahaha
nice meme

>>6332218
>corn
That's wheat anon. And the meme is about how long winded Caesar is about the campaign's logistics like food provisioning.

>>6332271
Wait. I thought this was about something else.
>That's wheat anon
Yes, basically I thought this meme came from an american thinking that the "corn" in the book was mais (Zea Mays) and complaining on /lit/ that this doesn't make sense as that plant is from America, resulting in /lit/ making fun of him.

So it's really about Caesar talking too much about logistics? How did this become such a meme it doesn't even make sense. I mean it's perfectly logical for the De Bello Gallico to be like this.
Did they think Julius Caesar was writing some sort of drama?
Also
>not reading it in the original language
Fucking plebs on /lit/

>>6332218
pretty much. he might have done it on purpose though

>>6332311
It's both. You were right but that anon described the original picture. I don't know why you are second guessing yourself, or couldn't work it out in full having seen the original pic one time. It's pretty disturbing to know you care so much but couldn't just work out the obvious.

>>6332311
>Did they think Julius Caesar was writing some sort of drama?
Yes, I think the point is that people go in expecting an action book and find it's just a "literary" field report for the SPQR.

>>6332332
I guess this comes from american students not being forced into translating half of it in high school like us italians

>>6332303
at the time Max Stirner was a fairly big deal, mostly because censors chased after him, exagerating his fame
the german authorities were not smart

>>6332387
No, scientifico, ma la nostra professoressa di latino ce ne ha fatte fare molte parti

>>6332413

Kierkegaard version incoming. Sad that Stirner couldn't find even something so simple as subjective value in his life. The devaulation of extent systems leaves only the self, which in the case of those who devalue extent systems is so often inconsequential.

I've never met a lover of Stirner who could run 10 miles, never one who could bench press 225, never met one with a job that paid over 90k a year. Knight of faith.

>>6332679
i don't think i've met anyone interested in philosophy who could do that... i sure couldn't, not even for all the dank boypussy in the world.

are there any consistently posting /lit/ meme pages on facebook

>>6331550
it was a pretty risky attempt and it's not so bad, he did what he could without proper training in a country without proper meals

>>6332731

I can, but the job isn't what I really want. I'm a bio post grad working at a fancy lab.

will consider our christmas cards humor (did we even do one in 2013 or 13?

not just because they make me smile, but for that feel, since I was literally friendless and wanted to kill myself every day in 2011/12 and the holidays just amplified the sadness. My life has completely turned around since and it was nice to see that the one thing that relieved some of the isolation was talking to anons about books

I always wear a blue polo and blue pants
I literally have a closet full of them, and they all look mostly the same.
I also wear the same blue shoes every day, but I only have one pair.
Every time they break, I get a new identical pair.

are you autistic

>check 'em

>>6333268
Hard to say.

Many people go on /fa/ trying to "cut the bullshit" so to say, but they fail to realize that fashion is entirely bullshit, and worse its perpetually bullshit, nothing lasts; and 'opting out' is the worst possible option.

Best you can do as a fashion pleb is keep semi up to date and not make a fool of yourself.

third frame could also be shoveling / building

but the second frame isn't inaccurate

like the German commander who fully encircled Caesar's army with a numerically superior force, before getting his ass handed to him

or the German armies that hunkered down in a perfect fortification. Caesar's solution? lay siege by building an 18-km wall around their wall to prevent their exit. but what about threats to Caesar's army from without, should they have allies outside of the fortification? simple. build another, 21-km wall around the first wall!

>>6332218
The latin word for corn is a blanket term. It's like how we use the word "grain", it can refer to any crop. So when you see corn used in the roman times they're referring to any type of crop.

Btw, Corn is really called "Maize" but we use the blanket term "corn" for it, without most anyone realizing that they do it.

>>6334006
>maize
>not choclo

>>6334006
Yes, I know, that's what I meant.
Also many countries use Mais instead of Maize

>>6332218
It wasn't one thread. It was every day for months, not even different pics, the same joke.

>>6334006
>>6334028
So was it mainly wheat or barley as well?

>>6334048
I dunno, they basically used the word granum to describe whatever was growing locally, and just as a general term for crops.

Corn is the english version of this word. In the u.s. it's used for Maize, but in europe they will still use corn for any crop. So you might see some europeans refer to a what field as a corn field.

I didn't get it, explain it to mee!

Not him, but hobbyists maybe? It's not like /tv/ is all film criticism majors.

>>6333367
Right on brother

>>6333367
I used to think this way when I was an angry, misanthropic shut-in.

Now I realise that people who are fashionable are no different really to artists, musicians or writers. By dressing in a pleasing manner they are bringing beauty into the lives of strangers. I rather appreciate it, actually, and wish I wasn't so sartorially ignorant myself.

I mean God knows, we all prefer to look at a woman who knows how to dress and put on makeup than encounter a female neckbeard.

>>6331038
holy fuck, that is the actual only funny thing i've seen on lit ever. lmfao.

>>6334237
true shit my dude, i didn't dig fashion until i did an art degree

>>6334237
I have no disdain for fashion, but the relationship of a good looking person with good style with the general public is not at all the same as a great song, great painting, etc. Simply because of the fact that we have genitals.

>>6334300
>HG Welles

Did you know Wells (nb correct spelling) actually joked about the difference between the spelling of their names in an interview? No, you didn't. So shut up, you fucking pleb, and listen to one of your betters correct you for the nth time in your miserable existence: Any old fucking body can write words down on a page. Literally. The barrier to entry is "Knows how to physically represent words via text" - that's it. If you can do that, you can try your hand at the writing game. What do you think the barrier to entry is for: being a director; being a producer; being an actor; being a boom operator; being a focus puller; being a gaffer; being a DP/cinematographer; being an Op; being a costume designer and need I go on?

Just to subtitle for the hard of the thinking - in each named case, as in many, many others, the answer is "Way the fuck higher." The barrier to entry for all of those jobs is, when compared to the barrier to entry for a writer, way the fuck higher. Got that?

>>6332731
any body of average health can run 10 miles, it's a matter of whether or not you really want to run 10 miles

stirnerists still can't run 10 miles because they're too busy eating glue

>>6334237
>By dressing in a pleasing manner they are bringing beauty into the lives of strangers
only to strangers who care about fashion themselves. People who wear track suits are certainly not being blessed with "beauty" when you walk by with your sick fit peacoat and fedora atop your hitler youth haircut

The Man and his Frog

The navy morn jackets thy window,
By 4am the man curtains his show,
'Another day I cannot go on'
'Well see my friend that's where youre wrong!'
'Have I lost my mind, it cannot be true!?'
'No dear fellow I, pepe, am talking to you!'
'What business have you, frog so smug?'
'Burdened fool, I offer you an escape nay drug'
'Well speak whimsical frog and prove your word!'
'5 deep breaths and you'd content by the third!'
Without haste the sad man wore the magical mask
Thy accepted death, nay fear of pepes farce
And so on the third gulp, death ofcourse he meant
he found no nitrous oxide, but instead pepe's excrement
'PEPE YOU DEVIL LET ME DIE I BEG THEE'
'No dear wojak, you're too dear a friend to me'

thanks you
