Rothko is phenomenal. He managed to make art that's intensely emotional while bypassing traditional demands of representation. His paintings lack the sterility of most early 20th Fe they modernism but are still intensely innovative.

Nationalism is dumb. Nations didn't exist until the rise of liberalism. Until around 1750, nobody ever wanted to "die for their country". It's an inherently modern and anti-traditionalist idea that just serves the interests of the upper class.

That may be true in mutliracial multicultural states such as the mongrel "nation" of Murica but not the case in ethnically homogenous states.

One of the most important ideas underpinning the creation of states in the 19th century is uniting all people of the same ethnic group within the same borders

I find Jacob Epstein pretty fascinating. His career spanned Art Deco into the 50s, one could describe some of his later work as post-deco. Some of his sculptural portraiture has that textural, sketchy, trowelled-on look I really like.

But of course this thread is just intended to be a circlejerk for spooked as fuck /pol/tards to dismiss abstract and loosely realistic art by attaching a Jewish conspiracy to it.

And promptly eradicating any regional culture to make way for the manufactured cosmopolitan culture that's been deemed "real" national culture.

And as you should realize that's a very 19th century idea. Before then the majority of France wasn't French, Italy and Germany were far from united even culturally, and countries like Spain, Poland or Turkey weren't organized on any basis even resembling a nation state.

>>1863523
There are no ethnically homogeneous nation states. Germany is a patchwork amalgam of various cultural identities suppressed by the Empire, Reich, and Republic yet still persist. Look at Bavaria, which has essentially considered itself its own country since unification.

Even fucking Denmark and Korea contain culturally and linguistically independent island peoples who did not consider themselves part of the Danish or Korean nation until their government told them that they were.

I'll admit there's some value in the use of abstract patterns of color to provoke emotion. But I'll never see the same value in colored rectangles as I do in a Rembrandt.

I'm ok with abstraction in art but I think painting is not the right medium for it. I need more than a fucking red rectangle to connect with the art. An instrumental piece of music? Fundamentally an abstract art. It's just abstract vibrations and rhythms that don't represent anything concrete. Even lots of experimental music that plays with sound, structure, and rhythm I find fascinating. But a fucking square on a canvas?

>>1863480

So what are you saying, that we should open borders and be multiracial third-world shitholes and completely destroy white people and white cultures just because there are regional differences? Your arguments make no sense.

By nationalism I'm thinking of: Preserving the demographic (thus genetic) make up of the nation, and preserving its culture. This can be done with a sensitivity towards regional differences.

Now what is your argument against this? There's moderate regional differences between white ethnic groups, thus get rid of all of it with multicultural hell? I have no idea what the argument you're trying to make here is.

Nope, you're making that leap. Nobody here has mentioned or condoned immigration.

>>1863556

>If you're anti-nationalism you're pro-immigration
No, humanism is just another form of nationalism.

I'm of the opinion that you should just have enough backbone to be able to exist independently and cultivate yourself rather than obtusely cling to the abstraction of national identity. I don't want to be pigeonholed into an identity above myself that I'm expected to uphold contrary to any notion of self-interest or self-preservation.

I don't care about people who I will never meet just because I happen to share a haplotype with them. And I fully acknowledge that they don't care about me.

>>1863561
Nope, absolute music is directly analogous to abstract expressionism.

The art is stripped down in both cases to style. There's no need for representation, because emotion is expressed direct. You don't need to like it, but you should recognize that it's meaningful without being figurative.

Before the 19th century, music and art were both mostly figurative. Opera was conceived to be the highest form of music, and is strictly representational. Persons like Wagner clashed with more objective composers like Brahms, who believed music could exist purely on an emotional and stylistic level. This exact line of thought was pursued by Rothko.

Alright friendo, why not come take a stroll down MLK Boulevard in Detroit at 9pm and see how they look at you as an individual with no group identity.

Groups matter. Human groups differ gentically (most important), culturally, geographically, etc. Whether or not an abstraction (like "race") "exists" in some philosophical sense doesn't matter. It describes a real phenomenon of group averages and tendencies.

Do you think you could swap out all white British people for Pakistanis and the nation would function exactly the same? Is there something magic about British air that makes it what it is? No. It's the people.

I don't think your reading comprehension is very good because I acknowledged that as it stands the first impression foreigners would have of me is "Person from X". It's just that as is the case for everyone or I know IRL even the most cursory introduction realizes them as an individual rather than an ambassador for whatever group they belong to.

And furthermore going
>Hey, people's primary notion of you is that you belong to X group. Better defend yourself by deciding their the most important aspect of their being is belonging to Y group.

You said "meet" and "in short order." How long would you expect to endure them throwing emtpy 40s at you and shouting "THIS AIN'T YO HOOD WHITE BOY" until they come to an enlightened individualist understanding of your identity? I have your answer: they never will.

That's what I'm saying. Your naive pipe dream of everyone just coming to an understanding of individualism is just never going to happen. You will always be an ambassador for your group. Even where micro-interactions may differ--and they may very well do so occasionally in your personal life--the macro-interactions of ethnic groups mashed together artificially by the liberal democratic regime will always lead to tension. Not only is your understanding of human nature uselessly narrow, the significance you place on individual interactions misses the forest for the trees and further shows the scope of your thinking to be fatally limited.

>>Hey, people's primary notion of you is that you belong to X group. Better defend yourself by deciding their the most important aspect of their being is belonging to Y group.

The problem is that this isn't just make-believe groups that have no basis in reality. You sound like you believe that race is a social construct, is this accurate? Because this is essentially what you're arguing for.

If I believed that group identity was mostly just cultural or environmental and didn't have a concrete genetic basis I would be inclined to agree with the worldview you espouse here. But we can't escape the biological reality of our differences. So this isn't something we can just shrug off if we all decide to. Replacing whites in a white country with third world people gives you a third world nation. This in addition to the natural affinity to their own ethnic group and the negative effects of diversity proven by Putnam in his diversity studies.

I think you have a very sheltered view of the world. Someday you're going to grow up and go out into the world and you'll see that a bunch of Wyatt Mann cartoons aren't trying to kill you in a great race war. I've had friends of other races, I've had lovers of other races, and I've had bad experiences with people of other races. But in this case I think it's the bad experiences that count the most because it's then that you realize the abstract idea of your countrymen aren't coming to save you, the only person who can save you is yourself. And it's experiences that made me realize I was wasting my breath parroting nationalist ideology.

/pol/ likes to think they have a realistic and practical view of human nature but in truth I think they're much too idealistic, they place far too much faith in people who just happen to share a skin colour with them. If you ever actually do find yourself in a violent altercation in a black neighbourhood the KKK aren't going to come riding in to save you, it's a time when you need to realize that you're on your own in this world and you need to have a will of your own to survive.

I don't expect everyone to come to an enlightened individualist conclusion, as a matter of fact the implications of an individualist worldview are quite savage compared to the romantic idealism of nationalism. But it's simply the truth. And that's the thing about /pol/, I think they're too mentally weak to reject nationalism as it comes with an great acceptance of responsibility. I think people like that use nationalism as a crutch to ignore their own shortcomings rather than to overcome them in a way of burying their head in the sand as to how small we all really are.

This is not to say that the truth is that everyone is out to get you regardless of race. There's lot of good people as well. And part of being individualist is the freedom to fraternize with whoever you like and make positive connections.

>>1863951
I've had positive interactions with non-white people as well, some I see and am friendly with regularly. I don't hate other groups nor am I afraid of them. I don't wish them any ill. Yet I'm capable of seeing the bigger picture.

I don't recall saying that white people are just one big happy family, that we always get along within races, all that matters is group identity, that you don't need your own will to survive, or anything else like that. With everything in life there must be balance. You have your life as an individual and you have the society as a whole. Also kek at "just happen to share a skin colour" as if skin color is all that race is. If that were the case, you'd be right; but it's objectively untrue.

There's truth to what your saying in that you are, to an extent, on your own in the world and you have to develop your strengths and virtues as an individual. Yet, simultaneously, you exist as a part of a greater whole. And the condition of the greater whole should matter to you, because your ability to function and achieve your goals depends on the society you operate within.

This shouldn't be difficult to see. Imagine one society with an average IQ of 120 vs one with an average IQ of 60. Which would you rather live in? Which is going to be more conducive to your journey as an individual? The answer is obvious. And IQ is just a single piece of the puzzle. There's cultural values, group affinity, political leanings (which are heritable), personality traits (also heritable), etc.

Your third paragraph is simply a baseless naval-gazey attempt at psychoanalysis and can be discarded. I'm not arguing on behalf of /pol/; I'm arguing for an ideology of nationalism much bigger than 4chan. One of us has empirical evidence to back up his claims and--so far that I can see--it isn't you. I'm sure you're aware of or can find the data and studies I allude to here (I already mentioned Putnam) but I could provide any if required.

>nationalism, the inherently modernist and revolutionary ideal, serves the upper class! I swear guys, all those revolutions in the 19th century were totally orchestrated by the upper class!
This is basically the same thing as blaming le j00s for everything you don't like.

"Bringing politics out of nowhere" ?
Are you kidding me?
The first statement in regards to a so called "jewish art" is actually the first politic comment here. The whole thread was meant to bring a political discussion from the begining.

>>1867311
rothko awakens the mind and pleases the eye, as well as offers a kind of personal religious experience, which has been the purpose of the highest genre of art since the renaissance. compare the 19th century which is just about pleasing the eye because artists then were relying on sales to the tasteless middle-class instead of the literate aristocracy as was the case in the academies prior to the mid-18th century

19th century art is the real anti-art, not the american response to modernism

wow, its almost as if you know literally nothing about nationalism and are just some commiboo faggot from leftypol

>>1867359
you would have a better point if your painting wasn't a direct reference to a nationalist event nearly 100 years after 1750

>>1867027
Nationalist art tends to be technically simplistic, because the emphasis is on meaning rather than style.

On a visual level, I really like this piece. The colours contrast well against each other. I'm not sure if it stirs much emotion in me, but I certainly enjoy looking at it.

> rothko awakens the mind

Why is OP's pic better for awakening the mind than simply staring at a tile pattern on the kitchen floor? Neither the kitchen floor or that painting seem to have any more intrinsic meaning than the other. Couldn't you just chalk the experiences of more "cultured" viewers of OP's pic up a psychological phenomenon, similar to looking at a Rorschach test or the Forer Effect?

>>1868241
To be fair, the kitchen floor likely wasn't created with much forethought beyond basically visually pleasing. While I'm not going to pretend as though it's impossible Rothko may have been an elaborate ruse, it is also entirely possible he choose the designs of his works to evoke emotion.

>>1868241
you seem to think that if rothko was more technically competent his painting would have harder edges and would look more like a kitchen floor, but shouldn't you instead be looking for difference rather than similarity? it doesn't awaken the mind if you take a quick glance at a jpg thumbnail and think 'oh that's basically a kitchen floor because it's two colours'. i don't know how anyone can trick themselves into believing that is thoughtful analysis

you can never claim to have any insight if you are too preoccupied with what is depicted rather than how it is depicted. your opinion is the meme

>>1868904
you mean like how all the collectors and pleb armchair historians love 19th century works now?

Again, the difference is that these were designed with consideration and forethought. Also you should read up on the technique Rothko used in making these.
