Amber Blank has this painting tattooed across her chest. She always tries to hide it but if you google image search, Amber Blank xxx tattoo, you can see it.
Snow Storm by William Turner.
Here's the story of this painting:
An inscription on the painting relates that The Author was in this Storm on the Night the "Ariel" left Harwich. There is a story that Turner asked to be tied to the mast of a steam-ship during a nocturnal storm at sea, to experience the feeling of it, and was there for four hours. He was 67 years old at the time

>>2933718
fun fact: The stylized cloud and wave formations were inspired by a recent (at the time) theory about magnetism. At that point in his life, Turner had a lot of scientist friends and attempted to incorperate their ideas into his work.

Those are not my favourite, but I do enjoy them. You know, I'm colorblind person, So usually I can understand art through it's form. And I suppose, that balance of forms at first picture is really breathtaking. I can watch it for a very long time, enjoying the feeling. It is really close to feeling when you look at a really nice girl or nature in it's strong demonstration. If only i could share this feeling with you anon. Best wishes, OP.
NightHawks is usually considered Hopper's best but this one always resonated with me. A sense of apathy and isolation secretes out of this painting like nothing else I have ever seen.
>>2947680
Saved. OP.

OP
>>2932994
Just curious, are these works subject to any copyright?
>>2932994
The best art is art that is instantly understood by its viewer and immediately considered to be "good" by everybody universally. Art with objective merit, in other words.
Art with only subjective merit, such as most "modern art", is objectively trash.
In other words, if you need to go through mental gymnastics to project made-up reasons why the painting is "so deep" and you now "get it", then the painting is actually a typical modern art scam.
If it looks like something that any toddler could barf onto a canvas - it is. Plain and simple. Just like the one in OP. Where are the years of study, practice and artistic tradition that culminated in this doodle?
>>2948342
>The best art is art that is instantly understood by its viewer and immediately considered to be "good" by everybody universally.
That's quite a standard. Any evidence of such a thing?
This object is rather attractive and well appreciated today. But to the culture that made this, it's hardly remarkable, a kind of pop art at best. Objective merit or not?
>>2948342
you should go back to redd!t
>>2948342
How about this one? It's atypical for its time period. In many ways it's rather grotesque. You'd be hard-pressed to argue its universal appeal.
I shudder to think what "mental gymnastics" you'll come up with to defend your absurd standard.
>>2948355
If it took skill to create, it's got objective merit, so it's good. It's not typical modern art, like that boulder they dragged out of the desert unmodified that sits in the California museum of modern art that's "worth" 30 million bucks. Or that orange plexiglass box that sits on the floor there that's "art". Or the ordinary wicker chair spraypainted red that's "art". Or the 30 cans of human feces labeled "artist shit" that are on display there. That's typical modern art that's celebrated by the modern art community.
My point is that Modern Art isn't art. All art is a form is free expression - but all forms of free expression are not automatically art.
The elitism of art comes from the elite skills of the painter, not the elite ability of the viewer to convince themselves that they "get it".
>>2948357
> it took skill to create
Then you concede that the painting in OP is art. Glad we're clear.
Also consider contributing some actual art, you can of human feces.
>>2948387
What skill is demonstrated in the OP painting? What quality of that painting proves that it was painted by a learned master of the craft rather than a child or an amateur?
A skilled artist is rare - maybe only one alive at a single time on this player, and they employ skills handed down from master to student for centuries. There is no legacy in that painting, only random doodles like you'd find on a 90s schoolkid's Trapper-Keeper binder. It's trash.
>>2934839
Wow, I can jerk!
>>2948357
Well, most of what you've described isn't "modern" art.
I'm not defending any of those specific pieces, much presented as art is crap, sometimes literally. It is usually more about the philosophy behind the piece, not necessarily the displayability. If you don't like it, don't buy it for your livingroom or gallery.
>>2948999
Imho, art is something have an idea behind it, it must demonstrate unique genius of human's creativity and skill. And it's quality counts by amount of people who've seen, understood the author's idea and consider his genius
OP
>>2948342
I was once much like you, until I got to actually study and go to arts uni.
Art is vaster, more complex, and more interesting than you and other contrarians want it to be.
Most of your kind typically barely appreciates art, only occasionally looking it up. Were you actually spending time with it, you'd have found value in many modern movements, as me and pretty much all of my classmates have, and would not have a stupidly regressive stance on aesthetics.
This is one of my favorites: Even though its an abstract piece, I can almost guarantee anyone who stops to think about this piece will know what it is about, even if they cant read the words. Its a breaking down of pictorial elements to such a fundamental level as to construct a narrative with meaning while also being unconventional.

You are one of the few posters in this thread with an IQ that's a few standard deviations above the norm.
And to all of you disgusting hipster faggots trying to defend modern art, go fucking kill yourselves. Seriously, you're the reason why western civilization is coming apart at the seams with your slavish worship of degenerate art that should be heaped into piles and burned.
Once art is left to the subjective perversions of low IQ postmodernist communist scum, every thing is lost.

I went to art school, too, and actually make a living as an artist now, which fewer than 5% of art school grads ever do. You're wrong. Abstract expressionism and postmodernism is a con used to launder money or masturbation by pretentious rich people who feel sophisticated because they spend more money than a prole will ever earn on art that the proles don't have enough taste to appreciate (how they see it anyway).
>Most of your kind typically barely appreciates art, only occasionally looking it up. Were you actually spending time with it, you'd have found value in many modern movements, as me and pretty much all of my classmates have, and would not have a stupidly regressive stance on aesthetics.
There it is: the pretentious, pseudo-intellectual, 'liking these shit means I'm smarter than you' masturbatory self-aggrandizement that characterizes the modern art movement. Frauds and marks, the lot of you.

Why's everyone hating on Abstractism?
Do you guys not like Mark Rothko?
>>2980580
I fucking love Rothko, but the power of his work is well and truly lost in digital form. You really have to see them irl to become enveloped in them. Also
>Abstractism
I'd say Abstract Expressionism with regards to Rothko, I've never heard Abstract Art referred to as 'Abstractism'.
About the others in this thread, it's just a minority of troglodytes who get all their opinions from PragerU. Ignore them and the quality of the thread is higher.
>>2975533
This is rather unsettling
>>2980329

Abstractism means imho that the viewer has to imagine abstractly what there is shown. There is mostly no effort from creator because everything goes. And it appears of course like elitist.

Saw a couple of his works live, not the most famous ones, was not too impressed.
>>2948342
So, by your standard only the most shallow of art is worth while?
The best art is the kind that you can stare at for a while, find its secrets. There's an awful lot of art that was reviled in it's time. This often means it was just ahead of the curve.
In other words, don't hate it just because you don't immediately understand it.
>>2958626
Picasso made cubism. His art didn't look true to life, but it was always a specific thing. This is post-modern abstract. Shapes and color meant to portray an emotion, as opposed to a tangible subject.
They're Entirely different unrelated genres.
ie. you're argument is wrong.

Tsk-tsk. Don't sully the thread with cheap misogyny Anon. Watch her oeuvre instead. Plenty of good interesting and visceral paintings, all made very far away from the "art centers" of the world and the Parisian cafes. A worthy 20th century artist, for sure.
>>2991361
Worthy to exemplify the suffering of the 20th century, to be sure. Much as I'd like to shitpost at her expense, it is very difficult not to be moved by her work. At the same time, we've ought to be careful not to celebrate or commodify suffering in an attempt to make it our own and participate in its authenticity...I fear that's where a lot of backlash to her work comes from.
