love these threads

makes you think that niggers, leftards and feminazis want to destroy them

if you send a text to 57251 requesting some art type (e.g. "send me Warhol"), you'll get a random image related to your request.

I read about this a few months ago. the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art provides this service free of charge. it's pretty cool.

Islam isn't that fragile, for two reasons.

1) The Kaaba has been ransacked and destroyed before. The Muslims just rebuilt it; it's a symbolic thing, the meaning of it is what's important, not what's physically inside of it. It's not a thermal exhaust port, the destruction of which will blow up the Death Star. Religions that are actually that fragile, don't last for 1,500 years.

2) Muslims are only required to go on the Hajj if both health and finances permit it - Muhammad didn't expect poor people to bankrupt themselves to go on the Hajj, or sick people to kill themselves in the attempt. If Mecca was destroyed and irradiated, every imam in the world would agree, and tell Muslims who ask them for guidance, that until the land is safe to enter once more, the Hajj is not required, since the health of the Muslims would be at extreme risk.

All destroying the Kaaba would do is piss off every single Muslim far beyond whatever they're feeling right now.

Yes, the al-Ḥajaru al-Aswad (the Black Stone), but ultimately that is just a *thing*. If it were to disappear, Muslims would still journey to the Kaaba to perform the Hajj, as what matters is obeisance to God, not that there's a holy stone inside the Kaaba. The destruction of the Kaaba, or even of Mecca as a whole, is as meaningful to Islam as the destruction of the Vatican would be to Catholicism - it would suck, and a lot of people would get pissed off, but the religion would continue on just fine.

Again, Islam is not a fragile religion, and the precepts of the Hajj have built right into them the fact that a Muslim is not expected to undertake the Hajj if doing so would be manifestly unsafe for the would-be Hajji.

Depending on how that Anon defines "niggers, leftards and feminazis" I might qualify, but I don't want to destroy good art. I don't even want to destroy Confederate statues, I just want them taken down and put into a museum.

That, or I want a giant gold statue of Benedict Arnold right outside of West Point. 100 feet tall, waving a Union Flag in one hand and clutching the severed head of George Washington in another.

It's part of our history.

The one thing these threads need is context. I can't fully understand what the artist is trying to convey to me without context.

>>743582611
Not the guy you directed that at, but I relatively skilled artist myself
>art is any medium created for, as its primary function, to be perceived
>paintings, music, movies, these are all various arts, being created for an audience and to direct and evoke a certain experience with them, even if the desired experience is as simple as "wow that was neat"
>personally I think photography is cheap, but it could easily be considered an art, though I feel it's too easy to make. That said there is a distinct niche for master photographers to capture precise moments. There's just to many dumb chicks with cameras that think a sunset itself is art.

How the fuck did they paint this shit?? Why is nobody able to make such paintings now a days? Is it sometning you can learn long term, or was it a kind of god given gift back then?

Get off your high horse, /b/ro...learning the context of art is a significant part of any art appreciation class.

>>743582882
The artfag's rant not withstanding, I often wonder the same thing. Reverse-search the images - most of the better-known works have their own Wikipedia pages, and the less-known are still relatively easy to track down that way. Enjoy!

>>743583943
I refuse to believe that good art requires a fucking class to teach you how to appreciate it
Please, as a human being, learn how to feel on your own. You are the audience, make your own experience with art, that's why it was made. It doesn't matter if the painter was filled with pain and portrayed it in his work, if you see it as something beautiful than that's YOUR shit. No one, and I mean fucking NO ONE can tell you what art means to you.

And I really mean that, dude, the audience is so important to us. I've done a few legitimate pieces and I NEVER had any preconceived context. I always LOVE finding out what the viewing thinks about it, how it reacts to them, what THEY imagined when they look at it. I get different answers from different people and that so cool. It just pisses me off when people think that art has to be this spoon-feeding of pre-labeled thought. This shit means whatever you genuinely feel it means to you.

>Please, as a human being, learn how to feel on your own.

I know how to feel on my own. I also know that when I see a painting, a sculpture or a photograph that moves me that I want to know more about the person that created it. I wouldn't bother trying to find the context behind something that I didn't feel strongly about - not the other way around, which seems to be a trend in the community art today.

Take, for example, Brunelleschi's “Abraham Sacrificing Isaac”. The story behind this bronze sculpture is utterly fascinating, as is the rest of Brunelleschi's career, but I wouldn't have bothered trying to find this out if I wasn't already affected by this piece.

So spare me, and everyone else, your diatribe because it's a vast generalization and is likely less applicable to the people in this thread than you suspect.

That's awesome, dude, I'm glad I was wrong.
It was a vast generalization. I'm in a thread on the internet, much less 4chan, I generalized because I had nothing else to move on.
And you're right, the common trend in the world today is to just nod your head in "appreciation" of what your told about a piece.
Thank you for going over and above. Personally I find it invasive to analyze the personal life of someone just because I like a thing they drew, but it's awesome that you can use that to enhance your experience.
