"Muh kid could" implies an importance to skill and craftsmanship when it is in fact irrelevant.

If technical ability were the measure of art, there'd be no point in making it anymore when you could print a Vermeer instead.

Not that this exonerates abstract expressionism, but if it is shit it's not because "muh kid".

Because since there is a gap between the ontologically realism of the thing represented and the painting it's I like to see artists attempts to bridge (or close) the abyss that divides art and the reality outside of the art piece.

“Listen–” he said so calmly, “I have read the editorial against my painting in your wonderful newspaper. I have read every word of the hate mail you have been thoughtful enough to send to New York.”

This embarrassed people some.

‘The painting did not exist until I made it,’ he went on. ‘Now that it does exist, nothing would make me happier than to have it reproduced again and again, and vastly improved upon, by all the five-year-olds in town. I would love for your children to find pleasantly and playfully what it took me many angry years to find.

“I now give you my word of honor,” he went on, “that the picture your city owns shows everything about life which truly matters, with nothing left out. It is a picture of the awareness of every animal. It is the immaterial core of every animal–the ‘I am’ to which all messages are sent. It is all that is alive in any of us–in a mouse, in a deer, ina cocktail waitress. It is unwavering and pure, no matter what preposterous adventure may befall us. A sacred picture of Saint Anthony alone is one vertical, unwavering band of light. If a cockroach were near him, or a cocktail waitress, the picture would show two such bands of light. our awareness is all that is alive and maybe sacred in any of us. Everything else about us is dead machinery.’

‘I have just heard from this cocktail waitress here, this vertical band of light, a story about her husband and an idiot who was about to be executed in Shepherdstown. Very well–let a five-year -old paint a sacred interpretation of that encounter. Let that five-year-old strip away the idiocy, the bars, the waiting electric chair, the uniform of teh guard, the gun of the guard, the bones and meat of the guard. What is that perfect picture which any five-year-old can paint? Two unwavering bands of light.”

I think that's wonderful. We do need some place to talk about high culture which explicity reputiates low culture. Look at /r/truefilm: they tried to make a sub to talk about great movies, and yet a large part of what they talk there are popular movies by american filmmakers so that it looks just like a slightly improved version of /r/movies.

I think someone should create a kind of high culture forum for snobs like us, similar to places like talkclassical or philosophyforums, but which explicitly avoids discussion about popular stuff.

Surrealism, an extension of naturalism, is art for hateful robots, an instrument of Jewish despotism, swindle and imposture… As an extension of imbecilic naturalism, and as the rod and pruning shears of the Jewish eunuchs, surrealism is the registry of our emotional disenfranchisement…the ground for our hecatomb, our communal mass grave for idolatrous Aryan cretins, duped and cuckolded on a cosmic scale… And then it’s an entirely done deal! admirably done…for mugs like us!… At surrealism’s door, long quivering with impatience, with reductionism, and with objectivism, to all of its degrees, all or nearly all of our great writers ceaselessly hone themselves down to the infinitesimal, to the loss of that “jingling bell,” to the loss of the very last bit of substance. Were they to continue to handle themselves somewhat badly, were they to apply themselves to fantasy, were they to be drawn into idealism or romanticism, there are those who would immediately and fatally so smooth them out, after so many analyses, as to put them on their way towards surrealism… That is to say those who are promoted, well positioned, and delirious with impunity, in the most astounding imposture of the age, whose aim is the stupefaction of the people and the bourgeoisie…by way of the amassing of meaningless frenzies, parasymbolic simulacra, and frenetic fraudulent wanking… All of these are jingling bells as well! …jingling bells! …not even real bells! but vile little jingling bells! for rabid little beasts!

Things have not been going very well in the Kingdom of the Fine Arts, ever since the Renaissance, that great triumph of the “false note”! We have already become completely lost, copiously Judaized, negrified even, by the tripe going through lying projectors, but now we are completely capsizing into the shit, we have fallen into it, reduced to a sub-Proustian sublevel, into spinelessness and insensibility, due to the influence of smug analyses, of academic arcana, of an offhand objectivism, of an emasculating scientism, “ever closer to the facts and the causes,” of brazenly stupid speech, of super-wanker scenarios, of that entire immense spiritual and organic debacle owing to those great outpouring of loutishness, to that obfuscation-induced crumbling, to that Jewish flood, communistic, pursuant to which come the Jewish Ark and the Jewish prison, that is to say being ready to set sail on the ocean of Jewish murders. The World at the level of the Robots… You don’t really understand anything, do you, Mister Bishop Turpin?… No! No! Those are the souls which are going up into the air over the vapors of the flames… The Jews’ colossal trick consists of progressively taking away from the crowds, and then from the indigenous artists, through the standardization of all taste, any possibility for the natives to express or to communicate their sensibilities to their social brethren, which would stand to reawaken in them some sort of authentic emotion. The Jews are avenging the Abyssians! they have inverted the tastes of the Whites, so profoundly, to the point where the French now prefer the false to the authentic, the grimace to sensibility, and imbecilic mimicry to direct emotion. The time is not far off when the French will blush at Couperin. Modern music is only the tom-tom in transition… It’s the Jewish nigger who is palpating us in order to ascertain the extent to which we’ve become rotten and degenerate, and our Aryan sensibilities negrified… Then all of the nigger Jews, having already robotized us, and turned us into Stakhanovites, will then see fit to unload on us only their trashy merchandise, that being good enough for dirty slave meat like us. (Just look at Russia.)

These authors of all that is false, trashy and imitative, tin horns of modernism, and of all modern art, of surrealistic deceptions, worked-over, be it in dramatic, humorous or burlesque sauce, will never be very threatening to their tyrannical Jewish masters. Strictly denuded of any direct emotion, singing, these clowns are incapable of awakening or releasing anything dangerous among the masses. They will never be anything other than the employees, the lackeys to power, the butt-lickers and the suck-slaves of Jewish despotism. For each one of these clowns that happens to succumb, a hundred immediately leap forward to take his place, even more supine, even more servile, even more ignoble if possible… The great whorehouses of the modern arts, the immense Hollywood clans, all of the sub-galleries of robotic art, are never at a loss for these depraved acrobats… The recruitment knows no bounds. The average reader, the semi-refined amateur, the cocktail circuit snob, the horde of abject movie-eaters, the radio-stupefied, the starlet-struck fanatics, the entire public in essence, that enormous, nattering, swarming international of drunkards and cuckolded dupes, constitutes in every city and continent the stable foundation, the magnificent humus, the miraculous topsoil in which the shit of Jewish publicity can flourish, seduce and bewitch as never before. The modern public has been carefully conditioned by science, objectivism and the Jew, to be disgusted by any authentic emotion, and is inverted down to its very marrow, asking only to feast upon Jewish shit… Given the signal, given the hype (the Semite, a nigger in reality, is nothing but an eternal brute with a tom-tom), the Aryan mass responds with a thrill, relieving itself of all of its dough, so as all the better to jump, and doing all that it can in order better to enjoy Jewish, to wallow Jewish, and to rot Jewish, in its head, its flesh, its soul and in all of its stupidity. It gives itself over to it. It goes to perdition with it. The Aryan mass believes only in the billboards of Jewish politicians and Jewish movies, and in the newspapers and movie reviews and art critics, all Jewish.

Their fatal and robotic insensibility condemns them all, once and for all, to rigid estimations, to descriptions, to overviews of sentiment, to grimaces, to collective movements, to brochures in the interests of tourism, to captions for photographs, to subtitles and inserts for advertising, to programs for events… Aside from that, they’re screwed. They can’t take the risk of mixing themselves up in the least little reproduction of emotion, for fear of committing atrocious gaffes.[...] Surrealism. In it, there is no longer anything to fear! No sort of emotivity is necessary. Anyone who wants can take refuge therein, and proclaim himself a genius! No matter which castrato, no matter which inverted Kike in a delirium of imposture, can make his own way to the top. There only has to be a little understanding, very easily concluded with the critics, that is to say amongst the Jews… [...]

An admirable Jewish trick!… The empty hype of the Jewish critics!… At a single stroke above all judgment! …superior to all points of reference! …to all humanistic texts… And the more emasculated, impotent, sterile, pretentious and farcical it is, the more of a bore and a poor impostor it is, the more forceful will be its effrontery, and the more genius and fantastic success it will have…(with Jewish publicity “on command,” you understand). Admirably simple! presto!… The Renaissance splendidly paved the way, through its Judaic fanaticism and its worship of the pre-scientific, for this stinking evolution towards all things seamy. This catastrophic promotion of all the world’s castrati into the Kingdom of the Arts… As a cultural manifestation of the “boys from the Freemasonic laboratories, and as claptrap even more bound-up, more constricted than Positivism, naturalism has since the Renaissance carried forth the same gigantic stupidities, the same calamitous prejudice in favor of the ultimate power of vapidity. This trick has not fallen on a deaf Jewish ear…

Find the artist(s) of the paintings you like, read about their work, style, life, and then read about the movements they belonged to

Its probably daunting right now, with all the different styles ITT, but start small and work from there. over time the rest will fall into place

You come out w the same tired shit every time. Open your mind.

"One could say that any child could make a drawing like Twombly only in the sense that any fool with a hammer could fragment sculptures as Rodin did, or any house painter could spatter paint as well as Pollock. In none of these cases would it be true. In each case the art lies not so much in the finesse of the individual mark, but in the orchestration of a previously uncodified set of personal "rules" about where to act and where not, how far to go and when to stop, in such a way as the cumulative courtship of seeming chaos defines an original, hybrid kind of order, which in turn illuminates a complex sense of human experience not voiced or left marginal in previous art."

Why greeks and others could sculpt realistic statues during the antiquity but couldn't paint for shit? We had to wait for the renaissance for realistic painting.

[Anonymous No.6268648]

>>6268633
There is some evidence suggesting that the Greeks could paint pretty well, although they hadn't mastered perspective yet. It was the Christian influences that had to be overcome by the Renaissance.

The Faiyum mummy paintings from 1st century CE egypt shows the ability was certainly there before the renaissance. But we don't have a lot of painted portraiture before that for whatever reasons.

A lot of these Faiyum portraits had prominent, rather comical looking eyes. This was probably due to the eyes being a focus of worship and this style became the stylised kind of art seen in later medieval icon paintings. So it was a deliberate choice to create flat 2D images to not distract from the religious purpose rather than just being shitty painters.

This is not true. That would take lots of training and practice.
>"or any house painter could spatter paint as well as Pollock."
If you've seen Who the Fuck is Jackson Pollock, provided above, you'd know that not even Jackson Pollock can paint a "Jackson Pollock". According to experts.
It's a craft, but not witchcraft. But sometimes it's a sham. It's all art though.
