Does anyone else unironically love rococo?

>>2304011
Who doesn't?

It's turd. I'm sure there's some contrarian memesters who love it just as there are hipster dimwits who actually like Bouguereau.

Actually no, I take it back. I'm sure the posters who repeatedly post that kitsch academic shit are just pedophiles.

>>2304011
i honestly do, designed my room very similar to it.

>>2304011
I thought it was universally loved.

What kind of special retard are you?

>>2304330
It also means overly sentimental which is exactly what both Rocco and academism can be.

>>2304413
It specifically means mass produced and low brow. Rococo is the oppositeof that.

>>2304435
>It specifically means mass produced
no, it doesn't

and nowadays rococo is considered low brow

>>2304435
That's your definition. Oxford dictionary does not define it as mass produced. It just so happens that a lot of mass produced shit is kitsch but that's not why that stuff is kitsch.

>>2304448
By Jewish "intellectuals" who think canned shit and empty canvases are high brow.

Kitsch is actually a normal word in High German.

>>2304011
No, it's degenerate and extravagant.

>>2304490
like your whore mother

>>2304484
you missed the point
canned shit and empty canvases doesn't change the fact that rococo is kitschy

>>2304493
It's not kitschy at all.

Umm, try again sweetie :)

Why does there seem to lie a series of political, and even religious undertones under a seemingly innocent discussion as art? People never seem to be judging or even talking about the art itself, but some ulterior thing...

how can anyone like this?

>>2304579
who are you quoting?

>>2304598
Because, by its very nature, art has to be considered in the socio-political context in which it was created in order to have a full understanding and appreciation of the piece.

>>2304627
A kike.

>>2304588
Must be pretty as fuck at night with proper lighting.

>>2304598
For example I put on a Beethoven quarter for an aquaintance to hear once. He calls himself open-minded and is constantly looking to discover new artists, so why not rediscover an old master? But two minutes into the piece and he began to move his body as if he was possessed, furiously taping his hands. I stopped the video and asked what was bothering him. He then began to spew an array of buzzwords and political cliches, having nothing to do with music. I knew he was sort of a leftists, but -- the open-mindedness?

>>2304639
unironically cultural marxism

>>2304639
Beethoven quartet*

Beethoven was far from reactionary in his day, as you may or may not know, but classical music to him represented everything that he stood against, privilege, elitism, inequality... And because of this he was unable to listen to a simple piece of music. He was deafened by his political views, cut off, disabled, if you will, from enjoining an art piece.

Art is not magic, it's a thing like anything else and so can be colored by emotion like anything else. You may think you love "Eroica", but if I put it on a constant loop for twelve hours while I torture you, you won't be quite so fond of the music by the end.

>>2304598
>even religious undertones
But this is the most important aspect. The devil seeks to invert everything that God does. God is all about goodness, beauty and truth. Leftists are incontinent individuals, slaves to their passions and inspired by the devil, thus they do the works of the devil. That's why they seek to oppose and destroy everything that is good, beautiful and true.

Who could argue with such a profound claim.

>>2304448
I wouldn't call it low brow, just tacky as fuck, and compared to Enlightenment and Romantic art it serves relatively no purpose
