Pic related is 102 years old. That collapse is taking its time.

Most of that modern age stuff started after WWI, created by people who experienced civilizations clash in the most miserable and awful war in the history of humanity. Their world was collapsing for them... well, the ones who got into modernism anyway.

It would have marked the beginning of the end had the World War trilogy ended hot instead of cold.

There was nothing else to do. Artists had already mastered life-like photographic realism. The only way forward was deconstruction. Deconstruction looks like shit because you, know, it is an euphemism for destruction.

>I once read, that whenever civilization collapsed, its art and architecture reversed to its most primitive form of simple geometrical shapes

And where did you read something as retarded as that exactly?

Can you find a single example of this?

/his/, /pol/, whatever the fuck the board for aspiring concept artists for EA Molvania is called

Well it's retarded. Cubism and non-realist art in general was literally invented in the early 1920s.

Why would it herald the collapse of a civilization if it was created by us 100 years ago?

Lad, clearly I'm not actually that poster and am just taking the piss

>>3186146
It was some short book about ancient Mesopotamia, don't remember which one

I'm not talking specifically about abstract art. I am talking about the general idea of art reversing to the simplest form, which you can nowadays see in architecture, paintings, music (electro music) etc. And i am literally ASKING (not claiming) if reversing arts are a sign of collapsing civilization.

>Electro music as a medium is simplistic

>>3186309
No, sometimes we just boil things down to their constituent parts to examine them and eventually rework them in different ways.

>all nowadays club/party music is just deep bass beats

>This means that intricate music made with computer programs is an oxymoron

>>3186399
I am not saying all electro music is retarded, i like to enjoy some of it myself, but if you listen to nowadays pop music, it always devolves into "UC UC UC UC" after the drop

>>3186418
Almost as if radio music has never been very intricate!
