Ivan Painting is Kill

[Anonymous No.11220988]

Is this literary? Is this an act of modern art?

“I came to see the painting. I wanted to leave, but then dropped into the buffet and drank 100 grams of vodka. I don’t drink vodka, and became overwhelmed by something,” he said in a video released by police.

>ripping a painting is modern art

"[The attacks of 9/11 were] the greatest work of art imaginable for the whole cosmos. Minds achieving something in an act that we couldn't even dream of in music, people rehearsing like mad for 10 years, preparing fanatically fora concert, and then dying, just imagine what happened there. You have people who are that focused on a performance and then 5,000 [sic] people are dispatched to the afterlife, in a single moment. I couldn't do that. By comparison, we composers are nothing. Artists, too, sometimes try to go beyond the limits of what is feasible and conceivable, so that we wake up, so that we open ourselves to another world. […] It's a crime because those involved didn't consent. They didn't come to the 'concert.'That's obvious. And no one announced that they risked losing their lives. What happened in spiritual terms, the leap out of security, out of what is usually taken for granted, out of life, that sometimes happens to a small extent in art, too, otherwise art is nothing."

What the fuck are you talking about? Just get one or two guards to standby the vicinity of incredibly valuable artworks to prevent some drunk inbred from destroying it. Fucking retard.

[Anonymous No.11221496]

It's very good what he did. It's the appropriate reaction to men worshipping this kind of art, and it's a sorry thing that it took so long and this decadent perversion has passed for something to be respected. Not even an iconoclast.

How much do you think museum's budgets are? You can't get a hundred (or two or three in big museums) policemen just stand there all day every day.

You just need two security men for a building, run to the location if some shit goes down, you don't even have to pay them 30 per hour. It's better than leaving things completely unguarded in these cases.

Damaging a painting takes seconds. By the time the guards arrive, it's too late.

Have you ever been to a gallery?

Ruskies need to get over their persecution complex and appreciate a work of art, I guess.

He used a metal pole to break glass which i'm assuming took more time than that. But guards in the vicinity should discourage a lot of vandals.

to Gersdorff (21 June 1871):
>If we could discuss this together, we would agree that precisely in that phenomenon does our modern life, actually the whole of old Christian Europe and its state, but, above all, the 'Romanic' civilization which is now everywhere predominant, show the enormous degree to which our world has been damaged, and that, with all our past behind us, we all bear the guilt that such a terror could come to light, so that we must make sure we do not ascribe to those unfortunates alone the crime of a combat against culture. I know what that means: the combat against culture. When I heard of the fires in Paris, I felt for several days annihilated and was overwhelmed by fears and doubts; the entire scholarly, scientific, philosophical, and artistic existence seemed an absurdity, if a single day could wipe out the most glorious works of art, even whole periods of art; I clung with earnest conviction to the metaphysical value of art, which cannot exist for the sake of impoverished people, but which has higher missions to fulfill. But even when the pain was at its worst, I could not cast a stone against those blasphemers, who were to me only carriers of the general guilt, which gives much food for thought.

They would never have enough people to pretend shit from happening.
You can go to any museum and easily destroy some old painting with just a pencil or ballpointpen before security can even react.

Pretty fucking big, considering how valuable those paintings are.

This has to be the dumbest thing I've read in days. It's so stupid it's probably pointless to even try to explain it to you.

as you'd know if you read the article to which that picture is attached, at the time the artist was still alive and they got him to retouch the picture himself.

>>11223333

not as big as you'd think. most galleries don't even insure the pictures in their care. it would be just too expensive to do so.
most big galleries have room attendants who have some training in stopping loonies damaging paintings but they can't be everywhere at once and they mainly depend on the public stopping vandals.
