Thoughts on Romanticism and the Romanticists?

inb4 dude opium lmao

dude hashish lmao

Romanticists were early emos and/or goths and/or alternative-pop fans

is good thread

By modern standards it's pretty kitschy and way too indulgent.

That famous wanderer painting is a good example. It must have been novel at the time but really pretty trite today.

This painting is absolutely not Romantic though

It's ironic that the most radical art movement of time was actually reactionary. Keep in mind that french and brit romanticists might be popular but they never had the cultural impact german romanticism had on basically everywhere.

The contrarians of their time, who themselves had a reactionary movement in response to them (Realists)

Created some very beautiful works of art for sure, and I can understand the need for a re connection to spirit and nature after the explosion of industry.

This. Romanticist art was the equivalent of t-shirt designs you'd see sold at Hot Topic
