I don't know the artist's name but it's the JP cover for Guardian Legend.

This is the Euro box art.

Here's another great piece by him, done for the MSX port of R-Type.

Not the same guy, but I can put actual effort into a far more advanced and intriguing composition, it's unimpressive as far as abstract art goes.
People who a scribble shit like that ain't got a thing on people like Fracetta, Brom, Dali, Valejo, Bell, Royo, Giger, etc, etc. I'm not even getting into older historical artists.
Put some effort into your art, pull upon your imagination and your emotions and try to put a complete painting on the canvas.

Maybe I don't get >>5523594, but I have the feeling that even if I did, there would be extremely little intellectual and emotional value to derive from its understanding, and I don't lament the absence of it.
To answer your question, I feel good and confident about not getting it.

Sort of in a few ways, but also sort of not.

The CIA outright funded shit artists like Jackson Pollock, because they wanted to prove that a capitalist market would make for a far less constricted and more permissive environments for artists.
I kind of agree with the sentiment, but I also think the idea of the state funding artists like that undermines that idea a lot, I ultimately think Pollock's art was quite uninteresting, and it doesn't need to be explained in detail here why the CIA are extremely bad people.

Abstract and experimenral art has sprung from far more places beyond just socialist shitholes.

Good cover art and poster art is certainly a rarity in this day and age.
Looking back 30 years ago, even a pretty shit and bland movie was likely to have some pretty decent, sometimes creative art for its cover and promotional material, because they'd go and pay a real artist to paint something up.

I admire that you feel sure enough in your assessment to post it on here, but you're being unnecessarily obtuse. It's art, dude, not surgery. It's expressly there for the subjective enjoyment of whomever happens to come across it.

Also, it's funny that people get so defensive of such and such artist over whatever the opposition happens to be when the artists themselves rarely show disdain for each other's work. It's almost as if they knew that a difference in style is something to be celebrated, not shunned.

Here's a nice picture with some abstraction, the art is blocky and the lines hard, but everything is recognizable, and as a whole it represents a scene which is supposed to be taking place in the story of the game.

Postmodernism was a way to shove subjectivity around anything and everything, to weaken the strong, and to do away with truth by claiming everything is a matter of perspective.

You're the stupid one here. The communist regimes didn't allow freedom of expression. All art created during those times were for propaganda purposes. It wasn't the promotion of "national identity". They're trying were to brainwash the population to be loyal to the state.

During Stalinist rules in particular, they were VERY adamant that any form of art or entertainment serve some kind of political purpose, and you can see this thought reflected in a lot of socialists overall, how there's this idea that everything ever must be political somehow, hence why you have faggots who insist comedy can't be offensive and what not.

>people in this thread unironically thinking under communism abstract art was promoted

Look up "social realism" you baboon tier brainlets.
Additionally did you know that postmodernist abstract art was actually legit financed by the CIA in order to literally fight communism during the cold war?
I'm not making this up.
Abstract art was LITERALLY SEEN as the form of ultimate expression and type of art that wouldn't fly under the communist regime.
It was used to PROMOTE the idea of capitalism, you pea brain niglets.

Goddamn, how the fuck is this generation growing up to be the biggest morons that ever lived, i'll never know.

There was no need. OP was just used the gallery phrase to start a thread about great box art, and you all derailed it because you can't help yourselves.

So it's going to attract the worst pseudo boomers on 4chan with something to prove but little intelligence and actual experience to concretize any of it.
In turn this attracts people that hate them with a passion and see them as total idiots.
And thus the back and forth goes on.

Or there was little consistantly good in the first place and you just kept coming here out of habit. Even with the like 3-4 year gap between when I stopped and when I started browsing again thanks to /sp/ I actually think I know better than pretty much every 14'er because I ***DO*** know better.

One thing you guys fail to realize about those kinds of modern art works is that sometimes the whole point of it is provoking different thoughts or interpretations in different people who are looking at it.
Explaining this kind of art is like explaining a joke. But if you looked at one of those "single-color canvas" types of painting and thought "well, now this is some ridiculous piece of shit", well that's probably the reaction that the artist wanted to provoke.

I would ask you to explain what is your definition of "art", but I forget that we are in a Taiwanese ceramics discussion forum and expecting people here to have a serious discussion instead of the usual shitflinging competition is a waste of time.

So the artist is pretending to be retarded?
He sure fooled me, fooled me so much I genuinely do think he's a retard.

Provoking thoughts and feelings is all well and good, but if you're doing the exact same thing, why bother? The solid canvas was an interesting and novel idea the first time it was ever done intentionally, by this point it's just completely derivative and unoriginal. At least put a spin on it or approach it with a sort of similar idea, but a different concept.

You might as well take a photo of someone else's painting and claim you made it for all it matters.
