Architecture is art.

Just because you don't understand it, or it doesn't appeal to you, does not mean it's shitty. I fucking hate art snobs.
>>727748666
Art.
>>727748787
Yeah. What about it?
>>727748666
Also art.
Now, I'll give you one to keep in your house.
Choose which one you prefer.
>>727748938
Keep forgetting the image
BTW, for modern art an empty canvas is "art", so I just posted a masterpiece by mistake
>>727748666
>Just because it doesn't appeal to you doesn't mean it's shitty
Yes it fucking does. We're talking about something subjective, so if it doesn't appeal to someone, it must be shitty.
>>727748666
Explain me why this is art.
>>727748988
I'm not saying an empty canvas is or is not art. I'm just saying that you are not the fucking gate keeper who gets to decide that, you arrogant twat.
>>727749035
I guess you got a point.
>>727748666
Literally only art snobs like the artistic shit you're posting. Your head is so far up your ass its hilarious

This was gonna be posted eventually. May as well be by me.
This thread is why I love b/. Goes from traps and gore to this. I'm not sure you'll like it but pic related is my favourite visual experience.
Photography is art.

reminds me of "Days of Heaven"
It's not known for absolute certain, but it's accepted that Leonardo da Vinci was gay. It's also accepted that he had a life-long relationship with his apprentice, Salaì.
Salaì posed for Saint John the Baptist (pic related) and it's also speculated that he posed for the Mona Lisa.
This is a painting of Leonardo da Vinci's lover.
Also: check 'em.
>>727751329
Highlight of b/ for me. This and doggo threads kek
>>727751224
Agreed. Art is ambiguous. Many things can be art, I guess.
When i was smaller i saw a piece of art that i allways remembered. It was on the wall in the house of a friend of mine.
The picture was of a man and a woman holding eachother, and they were built by bricks, from a mountain. Small real people were building them,
The further up it got, the more realistic the man and woman looked, you couldnt see the bricks like from the legs and up.
Anyone know the name of this one?
>>727752169
He may have been gay but that man was imo one of the most non-faggot dudes in history.
>>727747055
my new wallpaper thanks
>>727752519
Salaì was killed by being shot by a crossbow. Nothing faggoty about that.
>>727752559
You are very welcome Anon.
>>727752383
Also, I'm not exactly an art critic. Heck, if anything I'm an art pleb. Still... lots of things strike a chord.
>>727751074
>Get the hell out of my garden, you fucking pervert!
There's something important about this painting and I can't remember what it is.
It's something like, it's the first ever still-life painting, or the first ever landscape or something like that. I really should read up before I posted.
Anyway, it's by Nathaniel Bacon who was a fucking genius.
>>727752383
That photo was taken by Kevin Carter. He also took pictures of the Killing Fields in Cambodia during the Pol Pot regime.
The awful shit that he saw in his life fucked with his head and he killed himself in 1994 saying that "the pain of life overrides the joy".
>>727752891
Can you decide if you like or dislike the way something looks to you aesthetically? Than you are an art critic. Just don't be a snob about it.

thanks anon, i loved this one, 10 mn spent on it
>>727753169
Yeah, I've read about it... and I understand and respect his decision. Man, shit IS messed up sometimes.
I heard once the best way to decide if some piece of art is valuable for you, is ask yourself "would you steal it?"
>>727753271
Not necessarily. Not all fags take it in the ass. A lot of them just take it in the face.
But, y'know, good for you for trying.
My favorite rockwell
>>727753454
Or would you destroy it.
Got to have a Lowry in an art thread. This is my personal favorite. It's called V.E. Day Celebrations.
There's also a game you can play with a Lowry painting, called Count the Dogs.
>>727753110
I really like this one. Wish it was higher quality.
>>727753454
>>727753534
Interesting points. Kek, then Charlize Theron is art. I'd steal and destroy her. Joking ofc
What does anon think of Banksy?
>>727746224

God-tier. Any hopper fans out tonight?
>>727753921
Get out of here you fucking pleb.
>>727753957
Sorry snowflake.
>>727752169
It's like art fags wish their favorite artists were gay...as if pure speculation is seen as fact. Get over yourself.
Still looks like a shitty painting of Weird Al Yankovic.
>>727753921
Way too heavy handed for my taste. Not everything he does is terrible though.
>>727750428
Had this painting been drawn in this day and age, the artist would've probably been in the FBI's blacklist.
>>727754036
I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say.
Leonardo da Vinci is one of the greatest minds of the entire human race.
And that is a painting of what he chose to love.
>>727751826
Underrated post.
>>727751829
I've seen this in person, its fucking captivating
>>727753921
He has a good heart but his stuff is always very obvious. Snob response, I know.
Can someone explain to me why pic related is so well regarded? And while you're at it, explain Pollock, too. I never got it.

Commericalism and the rise of the mass produced media icons. The shifting from the hand made masterpiece to the factory made collectable.
Most of our celebrity and media/entertainment culture is built on this very idea
You may not like it because it's not pretty or showing a scene of something but it has alot to say about the society it was born from and lives in today. I'd say warhol's work is more important than many ancient sculptures or portrait paintings from the 1400s

>My three year old could do this, I could do this, my dog could throw up and do this
but neither your three year old, you or your dog could accurately recognise the precursors and influences both in the art world and larger society that brought about this thinking and style of work and then write a critical thesis on why it exists.
>but its just a canvas painted black it doesn't mean anything
just because you don't understand it doesn't mean everyone is ignorant to its meaning. Abstraction, Minimalism and post object art exist for a reason

Beksiński comes from my hometown, and in the museum dedicated to his art there's a VR exposition, where you can "walk" (actually it's an animation, you can't yet walk on your own) inside some of his paintings. The Valley of Death included.
The project is called De Profundis.

Awesome. Thanks Anon. Fuckin' saved. Sucks about image limit.

>>727754972
>>727754972
Too bad that's NOT the art piece, but just a photo of a Brillo Box
My point is proven: with modern "art" you can't even tell if it's an artistic piece or not, because it's just crap
>>727751373
Is this Assassin's Creed?
>>727756544
He put the drawing of a dick on the moon.
Look it up.
We could have put anything up there: whalesongs, picture of the sky, staues.
He choose for a crudely drawn picture of a dick. On the moon. Pratically eternal.
This tells you everything about modern art that you need to know
>>727748666
To everyone who doesnt understeand "modern art", its not suposed to be an art, its an inside joke, an unpopular meme for not many to understeand. Like on 4chan in 2009
>>727749855
Spookasa
>>727756823
Except that is literally the art work dipshit.
The point still stands. The point to that piece in Warhol's own words is that you shouldn't be able to tell the difference.
Your ignorance on the subject doesn't discount the meaning or point of the artwork.
>>727755959
My "I could have done this" greentext was parody. I came around to precisely this way of thinking many years ago.
>>727755959
i find minimalistic art retarded, like that kelvin blue or some shit, my gf tried to explain it to me but i cant see it... im not into that kind of art because i do actually find it stupid, but it is in the eye of the beholder right?
my girlfriend goes to artschool and that shit, im not really interested. just in here to save some shit to show her later.
>>727750285
oh shit it's that one bathory cover art
>>727757269
>An guy shits in a box
>people pays nearly 300k for it
>they claim to be superior
LOL. Yes, "there's no difference beetween modern art and crap" is literally my whole point.
>>727757316
I know I was just adding to it
>>727757511
It's certainly not for everyone. I'd never hang one in my house but I understand why they are important. Seems silly to me that people question it so often like the whole world is in on some joke they aren't but then won't make the effort to educate themselves. Rather preferring instead to criticise it childishly
>If I don't get it right away then it must have no meaning and thus no value
>>727751329
That blue dot is our solar system, everyone youve ever known or heard or read of, they all lived and died here, thats a picture of you and me, anon
>>727757993
Or: "I give you a box of my shit: are you willing to pay 200000 euros for it"?
If you answer "no", you don't understand modern art. "Merda d'artista" is a masterpiece that was sold for 275000 euros
>>727756823
In what year does modern art start? Just so I know what's proper good art and what's crap modern art, thanks m8.
>>727758180
Yeah man. Shits wack
>>727757844
I'm not saying there aren't some "artists" or even actual artists who haven't exploited the system or made shit artworks. Dali was natorious for signing his name on anything and selling it. As you rightly say people shit in cans and sell them and some artists have recreated other artists' practices with no critical thought of their own for no reason outside of its original context.
However all those things don't discount art as a whole, Modern art as an important movement in its time or even postmodern art which is what you're referring to there (art which reflexively criticises and parodies itself)
The issue with your all modern art is shit line is that it's old hack and has been debunked many times over by people much smarter than you or I. Perhaps instead of talking shit about it, read a book on it and confront what you don't understand or like about it.
I don't like alot of modern art, minimalism or even postmodern art but I understand why it exists and what its trying to say. I'd never hang it on my wall but I recongise that it has a time and a place in which it was relevant and necessary
>>727758437
It's not a "year", i think it's more "pretentious crap that took no effort", more or less "I could have done that" + "but you didn't"
People have shit in boxes since time immemorial. Only modern society got smug enough to pay solid money for that.
>>727749855
Love this guy... Chirico was a master
>>727758303
I don't have to like it or want to own it to understand why it exists, why its important to the art world, what influenced its creation and see what artists and artworks are in turn influenced by it.
Your view of art is very narrow. Art isn't just a commodity or something that needs to be asethetically or conceptually pleasinig
>>727758674
I was taking the piss, you clearly have no knowledge on the subject.
>>727749035
no, it means that it is shitty to that person.
All art forms arise from the drive to play with what is real and what we perceive to be real. No one is able to definitively decide if a piece of art is good or bad, even the artist.
To me, art is an practice in empathy. I compare my gut reaction to the art work to what others might see in the piece. I analyze my own perception and my perceived perception of others.
The paradox is, no matter what I or someone else thinks about the work, it is there. It does not care about our judgment. We wrestle with ourselves for centuries over the value of a piece that that is positive in its existence.
We sit and fight on the internet, but at the end of the day, it was made and it IS art.
>>727758789
No. "Il Cristo Velato" is stunning and full of value even if you don't know who made it.
"Saturn Devouring it's Children" is poweful even if you don't know anything
No amount of concepts will make a white empty canvas interesting.
>>727755297
MODS!
>>727755337
So nazi
>>727759043
to you..
A lot of Modern art does require prior knoweldge which many have argued makes it an inferior art form, I don't disagree with that sentiment but that doesn't make it less meanful, interesting or important.
>>727758984
/Thread
>>727759043
Jackson Pollock's "Convergence" elicits strong emotions and ideas without knowing anything of the artist
Ad Reindhart's "untitled (black square)" has caused many to stare endlessly into it as if it were an abyss
Not everything has to be pretty, stunning or of monetary value to be important.
>>727759043
this.
i can understand hip hop, still is shit.
i'm will not say all modern art, but there's a lot where it's noticeable the artist didn't put a lot of effort. for me, that's the equivalent of stealing.
i was to post Giger but fucking image limit reached

>>727754336
art pleb here, but from what I understand it is meant to appeal to the color and texture junkies in the art world.
It is like when chefs deconstruct a popular dish. This takes out certain key elements of the visual arts to have you focus on just a few.
