Constructivism and Dada are the true patrician forms of art.

>>11366279
meh
realism is boring and romanticism has been done a dime a dozen. Modern and post modern art are pretty hack tier styles that don't really require talent though

The rest of Rand's philosophy is argumentatively amazing but it's the aesthetics branch that really drives home how COOL Objectivism can be. No joke.
Rand's aesthetics completes her philosophy and makes it come full circle.
From Peikoff's OPAR:
>"An art work does not formulate the metaphysics it represents; it does not (or at least need not) articulate definitions and principles. So art by itself is not enough in this context. But the point is that philosophy is not enough, either. Philosophy by itself cannot satisfy man's need of philosophy. Man requires the union of the two: philosophy and art, the broad identifications and their concrete embodiment. Then, in regard to his fundamental, guiding orientation, he combines the power of mind and of body, i.e., he combines the range of abstract thought with the irresistible immediacy of sense perception. Ayn Rand summarizes in a definitive formulation: Art is a concretization of metaphysics. Art brings man's concepts to the perceptual level of his consciousness and allows him to grasp them directly, as if they were percepts. This is the psycho-epistemological function of art and the reason of its importance in man's life (and the crux of the Objectivist esthetics). Here again we see man's need of unit-economy. Concepts condense percepts; philosophy, as the science of the broadest integrations, condenses concepts; and art then condenses philosophy—by returning to the perceptual level, this time in a form impregnated with a profound abstract meaning."
That's fucking cool.

This is literally how 'magick' is done so yes this is really cool.

[Anonymous No.11367669]

Romanticism is the fedora of art movements.

I really hope this gaudy trash is not something you posted as an example of a good painting.

Just because some magic systems use nuggets of Aristotlean logic doesn't make her aesthetics mysticist. Nice try.
