>>1415251
photography is usually done in series. meaning is generated through difference (or sameness) rather than being able to accurately render the physical world.

in both cases of repin and photography the rendering of the physical is the first step, but photography goes one step further in using that means to a further end. in comparison, mimesis is the end in repin. there's no depth.

The symbolism of this painting is subtle yet amazing.

Russia - an outdated sailing ship that moves only because a bunch of starving misers drag it.

At the same time, a steamship passed and moves in the opposite direction.

The youngest of burlaks seems like he's throwing away his yoke, as if Repnin subconsciously felt the upcoming revolution that he was still around to witness.

This is exactly the problem. If art is good, you don't need to read up on it in order to enjoy it. Learning about its context is great and should increase your appreciation of it, but it shouldn't be the only reason anyone recognizes it as art. You don't need to understand religious symbolism to appreciate the Book of Kells or some Hindu statue, you could appreciate them without any knowledge of what they are or where they came from because they actually look good. If you saw a painting of a dot without knowing what it is or why it was made, you probably wouldn't even give it a second thought.

Abstract art can be great, but that kind of stuff just isn't.

that is exactly malevich's point. you don't need to know any form of references to appreciate art. beauty can be found in something as simple and basic as a circle, something almost all humans have an almost innate understanding of. the circle is perhaps the purest of all geometric shapes in the simplicity of its definition yet the interesting things you can derive out of the interactions of other geometric forms with circles (trigonometry comes to mind). a newborn child can enjoy malevich because there's literally no other deeper meaning. its just pure shapes. you spouting that as a criticism of malevich only shows your ignorance of his work i'm afraid

>you don't need to know any form of references to appreciate art
And yet, you need to understand Malevich's point in order to care about his painting in any way. That's my point; it's not good, it's just trying to make a point. If you don't know that point, there's nothing to appreciate. If you do know that point, you're appreciating the point itself, not the art, because there's nothing to appreciate in the art itself.

>the interesting things you can derive out of the interactions of other geometric forms with circles
Maybe if he had depicted that it would have been a good painting, but he didn't, it's just a circle.

no you dont need to understand malevich's point. he just explained why he made said painting in that way. you can enjoy it without having read about why he made that painting if you were not conditioned to find for indicators of skill or meaning and just enjoy it as-is. its just a circle, there's literally nothing else to "get" about it. can't you appreciate pure shapes or are you so pretentious (and i use this in the fullest sense of the word) that you always want something else?

Hello.

>>1424379
Anon, just be honest; would you enjoy or care about that painting if it wasn't by a famous artist? If I drew a circle in MS Paint, would you call it a masterpiece?

>you can enjoy it without having read about why he made that painting if you were not conditioned to find for indicators of skill or meaning and just enjoy it as-is.
I don't see any 'skill or meaning' when I look at the tree outside my window, but I still think it's beautiful. If there was a big ominous circle floating outside my window, I don't think I would. The fact is that while circles can be beautiful, a circle on its own with no context is not.

>can't you appreciate pure shapes or are you so pretentious (and i use this in the fullest sense of the word) that you always want something else?
Well yes actually. I'm not a newborn baby, I'd like art to have some kind of complexity or beauty, anything at all. If it's pretentious to expect more than a basic circle and nothing else, then I'm pretentious. If I want to see a circle, I'll look around me. There's a glass of water beside me, it's rim is a circle. I don't need some artist to show me what a circle looks like. There's more beauty in that glass of water than that painting.

There's nothing to appreciate in that painting, you just act like you 'get it' (which means knowing there's 'nothing to get' about it, funnily enough) in order to feel superior to everyone else, which you've made clear in your accusations that I'm the pretentious one here.

>>1424415
>would you enjoy or care about that painting if it wasn't by a famous artist? If I drew a circle in MS Paint, would you call it a masterpiece?
if you drew it in ms paint i would call it shit because its been done before

>The fact is that while circles can be beautiful, a circle on its own with no context is not.
why cant a circle be beautiful at its own though?

>There's a glass of water beside me, it's rim is a circle. I don't need some artist to show me what a circle looks like. There's more beauty in that glass of water than that painting.
you are only seeing a circle through the context of other things - glasses, clocks, etc. the painting is about the purity of the circle and enjoying the circle as-is

>There's nothing to appreciate in that painting, you just act like you 'get it' (which means knowing there's 'nothing to get' about it, funnily enough) in order to feel superior to everyone else, which you've made clear in your accusations that I'm the pretentious one here.
i don't get the painting as there's nothing to get. its just a circle. thats it. the lack of a point can fly over others heads though who always seek to find some point in a piece

>>1424445
>if you drew it in ms paint i would call it shit because its been done before

And you're rather dumb. How would it be a copy? The style would be completely different. Can you only like one take on the same subject? Or is it because it's done by someone anonymous?

>>1424631
no because its literally not a different take as the person just draws a circle on ms paint. only the form in which the circle is expressed changes and not the actual content. a different take would be making a square but alas that has been done too

>>1424222
are you sure? because 20 years later the russians only painted socialist realism which is figurative

there's nothing wrong with malevich

That's what different take means, man. A square and a circle it's not the same subject.
If Picasso and Klimt drew the same bowl of fruits in their styles would you call it copy-pasting too? Or are they too famous for you to dare?

>>1424704
That's not at all what they thought, you fucking spoon. They just didn't think historical accuracy was important. And even then that's not a universalism, because some artists did try to draw on what they thought the past looked like.

>>1424707
Is this supposed to resemble a Persian/ eastern large sail ship in profile with a reflection on the water? Because that's what this reminds me of, like one of those directly after a battle.

Obviously that's not what it is, but that's what is impressed on me.

>>1417640
Looks like Swedish/Finnish

>>1424716
yes picasso and klimt would draw them in radically differeny ways but to a degree where the content of the painting no longer becomes about a bowl of fruit but much more than that. if that anon copied a malevich in ms paint it would still be both just a circle because like i said there is nothing else to see other than a circle

>>1424719

Never reply to me again unless you agree!!

>>1424737
No, it would still be a bowl of fruits just in two styles. You just don't want to or are unable to see "more than that", different content of anon and malevich circles , cause no-one is telling you to.

>>1424827
content =/= subject matter anon. perhaps were misunderstanding each other

>>1424848
Perhaps you've got a little confused. Where did I say that? Why do you "see" different content in those two imaginary examples but not in the anon-malevich circles?

>>1424914
because malevich has his made canvas and paint while anon has his in digital form. other than that the differences are nonexistant due to nature of the "base" painting

>>1424941
And those take away value and content why exactly? Because you were told that digital is bad and because differences are to subtle for you?

>>1424967
no. its due to the nature of the base painting. it is hard to make another painting that retains the abstractness of pure geometric shapes while adding a different take to it due to the nature of abstraction. contrast this with the example of the picasso and klimt fruit bowl. a fruit bowl is an extremely specific object that can be twisted in numerous styles and still retain its likeness as a fruit bowl. a circle is just a circle and trying to add a different take to it removes the purity of the intended shape

>>1424668

HNNNGG

>>1424991
You haven't disapprove anything I said in this post.
It's not hard as you can see. Everyone can draw a circle while retaining the abstract idea and in the same time twist it in their own way. It's just not as drastic as in our example.
It seems that even you after all aren't really appreciating the simplicity of modern "art".

>>1425069
your last post was claiming that i believe in things i dont such as the suggestion that believing digital art is in anyway inferior and that i dont have an eye for detail which is pretty douchy no lie. i get that youre being smug to sound smart but it isnt working

anyways, you dont get my point either. twisting the circle in your own form lowers the level of abstraction and thus makes the painting less about the circle and more about your interpretation of the circle. the point is to be about the circle and the circle only. there is only one way to objectively represent a circle by definition, and it has already been done in the art world. why give praise to sloppy seconds?

No, it doesn't. That artist's circle is HIS interpratation of a circle. Someone else can draw it too, why would his be better? Can you actually show me the exact moment when presentation ends and interpretation starts? And why there?

>>1418655

>>1425150
the artist is drawing a geometric circle which has one mathematical definition, namely a collection of points equidistant to a center point. a circle is no longer a circle given external interpretation but rather becomes a less abstract and more specified version of that circle because the word circle is defined mathematically as such and provides no leeway for interpretation. if a draw a shape where all points are not equidistant to a center point then it is not a circle and claiming it to be a circle is just pure bullshit.

fruit bowls have no concrete, universally agreed upon definition on what makes all fruit bowls a fruit bowl which is why an artist can interpret a fruit bowl in infinitely many ways.

I'm dissapointed in you, /his/

>>1425237
You still haven't shown me the exact point between presentation and interpretation. Like I said earlier it doesn't have to be anything drastic, the difference between the circles can be miniscule, and with the definition of circle (which isnt very specific for our disscussion), you wouldn't be able to tell why malevich circle is better representation of it than someone elses painting.

But this fruit bowl would be a concrete fruit bowl, which actually makes it more specific than an abstract concept than can be done in different ways (i.e. the circle could be any other color than black) and yet we don't diffrenetiate interpretation and presentation here.
