ITT we discuss paintings and books related.

This painting depicts the historical 16th century story of Ivan the Terrible mortally wounding his son in Ivan in a fit of rage. By far the most psychologically intense of Repin’s paintings, the Emperor’s face is fraught with terror, as his son lay quietly dying in his arms, blood dripping down the side of his face, a single tear on his cheek. Repin began thinking about painting this historical episode after the assassination of Alexander II. In an attempt to recall other bloody episodes of Russian history, he painted this piece as a as an expression of his rejection of violence and bloodshed.

>By far the most psychologically intense of Repin’s paintings
Have you seen his depiction of the letter of the Zaporogian cossacks to the great Turk, the Russian revolution of 1905, hhis bunch of Russian pilgrims in Kursk, the surgeon Pavlov,. Ivy the Terrible is simple memecraft. Besides it is a pre-Romanov tsar. There's nothing edgy about painting that back in the Repin era. And, by the way, who painted the execution of Ivan Petrovich Fyodorov-Chelyadin? Another fine history painting on Ivan IV. Or: him showing his treasury to the English embassy. This isn't bad at all. Are you a slv?

I had the pleasure of spending a few hours at the National Gallery again a few days ago. This time it was the Ruysdael landscape that impressed me most as well as the one Phillips Koninck that they have.

This one by Hammershoi is another favourite. It's amazing how he only painted essentially one house and two women (his wife and his mother), just placing them within these enclosed spaces and using only white, black and brown to make his work and yet it's all so effective. It's at that wonderful edge between figurative and abstract, minimalism done right. And I also love how although he of course knows the two women very well, we never get to see them quite well enough that we'd know them on the street, they're always too far away, their backs are turned, etc.

You fucking piece of shit.

His sentence presented the most post-post-modernist, ideology-free sentence there is. (and I don't mean it in a bad sense.)

He doesn't care about meaning. He doesn't care about real-life implementation, about materialistic problems or search for knowledge led by modern scientism and logical positivisim.

He likes the painting. He doesn't care about anything else.

Isn't there something beautiful about that?

Can we just "like" some things on first sight and not be "pleb lol" judgemental assholes?
