ITT we discuss paintings and books related.

This landscape is unusual in its elevated, almost bird's-eye point of view. Such an angle can be seen as an attempt to look at the world in the Japanese way, natural for an artist obsessed with Japan. However, we cannot speak of serious influence here: Van Gogh's view was individual and came from his own impressions. The dynamism distinguishing this canvas is alien to Far Eastern landscapes. The painting has an enormous internal energy. The crossing diagonals forming the borders of the fields and the ploughed furrows, the contours of the roofs, the row of cypresses - such vectors strain the composition, but not so much as to disturb the unity of the whole. It is a study from nature. The colouring of the painting and the action of the figures show us that it was executed in autumn, a time when Van Gogh worked not only on the hospital grounds, but outside them as well.

>artist obsessed with Japan.
Was van Gogh the original weeaboo?

Pic related is a sculpture made by time-travelling Greeks who came to the 20th century. There, they saw modern art that they reproduced here.

van gogh first came into contact with japonism via other artists in paris who had been influenced by japanese art for years, so I wouldn't say so. He did really become an enthusiastic weeabo though.

i think the japanese way, in this context, was to depict things in an impersonal or "distant" way, which is also what van gogh is creating with this bird's eye pov. I guess. Don't know if that's what the op meant exactly.

This is the exact reason why I think the Art Deco style of architecture makes me very... uneasy (not the best word to describe it, but the closest I've been able to find). Seeing buildings in that style and prominently displaying that art always unsettle me. It's too much of a perfect snapshot of a time period and, to me, it makes me very uncomfortable seeing it carried over into today's life.

[Anonymous No.7248225]

I started oil painting again, but all I can paint is dicks and phalic objects

I try to paint fruit in classes and all I see is big banana dicks, if model comes for nude poses all I can paint is dick shaped bodies, if teacher takes us outside to paint landscapes I paint dick shaped trees and clouds. The class said I have a problem during critique, but there was one couple that liked my work; some very strange people in a sense of how they dress (baggy black clothing) and how they behave towards others (open and very seductive). Anyways I decided to stop participating in that workshop because the instructors can't help but give us subjects with phallic shapes.

yes because it focus on the lower class which is a step away from the narcissistic decadence it had become through the classical era (a painting of master and his kids/church commissioned work). This also allowed for more creative techniques because the painter was painting for himself and was not steered by some wealthy patreon.

Just noticed something interesting. Look at how the leftmost figure of a cupid, the one right next to the book, looks unto the viewer. The next figure, with one figure inbetween them, is a child, too, looking at the viewer. Right of Avicenna you see a womanlike figure looking at the viewer, again. You could guess that is a young man. Now go all the way to the right side, right next to the astronomer to the right, is a figure of a a slightly looking older man, too looking at the viewer.

Are these figures related? Could these represent a man coming into wisdom as represented through infancy, childhood, adoloscence and finally maturity? I might be overthinking, but the Raphael might be representing his own philosophical beliefs as in he places the infant right next to the figures he believe are babby-tier and the older figure right next to ones he believes to be more wiser in the same way that older people are typically wiser than young people.

[Anonymous No.7259993]

>>7259961
To add, there is another figure looking directly at the viewer and another one that might be looking at thte viewer. The former figure is right above the right most young man, the one with the burly beard whose face is only visible. The another one is right to Aristotle, an old man, and he might be looking at the viewer.

So is Raphael giving clues to as to which Greeks one should start with and eventually end with i.e. Plato and Aristotle?

[Anonymous No.7260001]

Not sure if this is sarcasm or not, but if i remember correctly there's actually an artistic reason behind each gesture. Given that each figure is a representative of aniquity, plato and aristotle have different gesture to denote their respective philosphies.

Plato towards the heavens, and aristotle outward. Or something like that...

I always like this one in juxtaposition with Manet's Olympia, painted in the same year (1863). One follows academic standards and was very well received. The other deviated from the academic art and was seen as shocking, immoral and vulgar.

One shows idealised, smooth nude and tries to personify beauty. The other tries to show a very real woman (prostitute even), using broad and quick brushstrokes.
Cabanel uses shadow and light to highlight parts of Venus, Manet uses equal spread of light to show the entire body of Olympia and emphasise her nakedness. The only this that's hidden, she hides herself, emphasising her independence, whereas parts of Venus are hidden only by external factors.

One, by deviating from reality, maintains the academic tradition, the other, by deviating from academic tradition (and romanticism, and even the realist schools), shows us reality.

Ofcourse, we all know which one shaped all art since.

Funny, the same thing could be said about Delacroix's Sardanapale, regarding Ingre's (hideous) Homer.

Released on the same year (same salon even, 1827 if I recall correctly), Ingres was acclamated, very classic, while Delacroix passed the jury to get the right to be exposed by only one voice, and was put on a very disadvantaging position (upon the entrance door, on the inside).

Sardanapale is unacademic, aggressive for it's contemporary's senses and very dynamic, said to have been painted with a «drunken broom».

Yeah, that bland, textbook photo-copy of Dada really convinces me that you're interested in it.

Nah, that's confirmational bias on your part I think m8. Japanese cultural aesthetics are extremely broad, there are many simple and intimate and emotional pieces of art.

[Anonymous No.7272823]

Jesus this thread is just misinformation and pseudo art critique all over. Think of the way you would critique literature and then see how you're critiquing a painting.

"Uncanny" might be more appropriate.

That unsettled you, though? I find it tremendously comforting. It has remained in most cities, "...in the midst of other woe / Than ours, a friend to man..." It's practically the last time commerce and art merged to make something beautiful.

Not who you were speaking to but aside from its intrinsic nostalgia -and it is impressive, in that it can be triggered in people who weren't even around at the time- his work is kind of boring.

Art is like a tree. This is the end of some branch. Or it just might flower something else. Go look at another branch if you don't like this one.
