Dada was in the 20s I think, too early to be post-modern

Remember, kids. If you can't sold it, then it isn't a (((real art)))! Let's redicule all of shitty, degenerate post-modernism to made a room for (((real arts))), especially performance ones that I hate the most.

the fall of western civilisation

The part of Bitter Lake where the western women are showing the iraqi women Duchamp is so fucking priceless.

Greatest hack in the history of the universe.

>tfw my painting professor literally said that students shouldn't waste their time with ancient and medieval art history and instead study contemporary art

The Impressionists were a mistake.

It's quite a feat to design an emphatically empty space that nevertheless evokes an overpowering crowdedness

>>1921062
well there wasn't much ancient or medieval painting that survived so he's right

>>1920033

That depends, are you posting from the Weimar Republic a hundred years in the past?

>Another le modern art is shitty thread

You practically play bingo with all the shitty lines you people spout about a topic you know very little about.

>>1921090

Yes, I'm sure he's got great insights in how gradeschool-tier collage and random paint splatters are actually an amazing art form.

Just kill every contemporary artist. Hitler was right.

>>1921314
you get more marketable skills by working in contemporary painting (which is in a kind of crisis at the moment) so it's probably better, artistically speaking, to learn about contemporary theory and try to innovate within that field

i think though that anyone engaged in the arts should learn about its history, and by all means learning the socio-historic and theoretical contexts of the past is important information to formulating an idea of what art is and does, but the history of painting really begins at the renaissance

Well, when you look at art and it's evolution through a historical point of view 'modern art' is actually quite amazing.
I mean, the original 'modern artists' that is.
All of them, fucking conceptual geniuses, they tried to make a point and basically spit into society's face with their work and instead of it being taken the right way faggots saw their 'shitty art' as an excuse to think their shitty art isn't shitty.

I mean, there was this one artist that LITERALLY SOLD HIS OWN SHIT, how is that not fucking genius?... well it was but because he was the first to do it to make a point, when everyone starts doing it that's when it loses all merit and just becomes shit, which has happened unfortunately.
Art was strictly controlled and to an extent exclusively produced by churches and the rich ruling class for a very fucking long time, so when these conceptual artists FIRST started appearing it was game-changing.

This is art. The Gesamtkunstwerk is art. Beautiful works I like and take pleasure in from classic painters and modern illustrators, or from aspiring artists on artstation and deviantart, are art. The philosophy I deem the best and most beautiful is art. The important thing here, is that all these things are art [to me] — and you're immature if you think it has to be explicitly stated.

Art is beauty. It is never ugly. "Ugly art" is just art that finds beauty in the ugly. If more people understood this, these pointless threads would cease, and people would realize that the question "Is X art?" sounds the same as "Does X taste good?" or "Do I like X?" No one can answer that for you.

as much as l hate modern art, ancient and medieval art is just mostly objective visual portrayal of an event and maybe involves a fetish at times, you can appreciate the effort involved which is tremendous

since the camera and fast and precise ways of capturing events typical art in painted form stopped making much sense so a new point of view was approached, involving mostly breaking barriers and stirring controversy, see dadaism for a pretty solid example

art on a canvas died, the money laundering behind million dollar paintings consisting of 3 lines is more worthy of art

why do people need to point out paintings and sculptures meant for art galleries? that kind of art is dead.
You know what is actually good and modern art?
99% of the movies you watched and probably the most of the books you've read, most songs you listen to
also any artwork attached to anything
also internet memes

going out of your way to find examples of le shitty modern art is pathetic,it's like you want to feel miserable

>artstyle
>soundtrack
>story
all of those would be considered art
but when you combine them together, it's not?
so opera is not an art because it combines drama and music?
kill yourself

Don't be a high brow snob, it's not becoming of you or any 4chan autist. It's thinking like this that prevents mediums like comics and cartoons to be taking seriously as well, and you wonder why capeshit and adult comedies dominate the industries.

This its like claiming intentional shitposting is a meme.

>>1921090

Yeah, not like there's entire galleries specialising in medieval artwork or anything...
