>this is considered high art by art connosiuers >this is

I've always maintained a healthy dislike of Modigliani. Of course, it has to be viewed in context, with the rest of his oeuvre... that's only fair.

I know right its not super realistic and its all just expression and colour what bullshit work on rendering and loomis etc etc etc.

Just shut the fuck up.

How about you stop caring so much about what other people are doing and just focus on what you are doing in your life. I am not defending the OP's image but I just don't care if its good or bad because I am already worried enough about my own work if it is good or not. This is just meaningless bitching.

Thought I made some good points there, oh well back to drawing.

>>3019591
how come when it comes to art people are proud when they don't like something

>check out me guys, guess what, picasso is lame, aren't i the coooolest!

>andy warhol? i only see pictures by him in my day to day life 2 or 3 times a week! he's not even an artist in my book! look at me!

>modigliani, dats not da loomis i no! i best!

Wow. A lot of artists are hyped up beyond what they actually are and take on a different value of what it is. It's called culture. The only reason modigliana is high art is because people fell in love with his unremarkable tragic story; they put into him a high value because he knew Picasso, because he died young and poor, and because his wife killed herself by jumping off a building. As an artist he is unremarkable.

But go ahead and keep drinking the look aid.

guess what, art is about context, not "skill"

>>3019670
being good at drawing, painting etc, means you're skilled, it doesn't mean you're an artist

>>3019670
Guess what? No it isn't, you faggot.

I literally touched his picture of Leopold z with my oily fingertips when the staff wasn't looking. I kind of feel ashamed by not really. Touching history makes me feel special and involved.

Soutine was clearly the superior Expressionist Jew.

this is so clever and yet it just doesn't hit the mark for some reason. I just had to make a post to give you 10/10 for it though.

But this is literally true.

Goes on to name many reasons.

>doesn't know what a semicolon does

It's the unremarkable story, the rest is just detailing the singular thing that is his unremarkable and very common story. Except the whole knowing Picasso thing, that wasn't so common but regardless Picasso knew his bartender too but the bartender wasn't a wannabe artist.

What's wrong with it?

dueeede it's so different,,, it's got like squares instead of eyes woah

>>3019665
> unremarkable tragic story
> OMG his life was so shit, let's love his art just because

Personly I believe esthetic is something universal, in the eyes of everyone who looks for it.
But in a pragmatic way, the esthetic in his work isn't worth his fame or the money it costs, not if you consider many other works that express beauty and context much better than his.

If he is an exemple of fine artist, then it's acceptable that people question the real value of today's concept of fine art, like OP does. The work posted by OP describe less beauty and more a trend between minor circles with either pretentioness or dubious interests like washing money.

Not true at all...
Michelangelo's David is about context, not "skill"?

>>3019909
What squares?

all this shit art is popular BECAUSE it's horrendous. rich people don't want to have the same tastes as proles. they don't want to hang up art in their homes that plebs would like. they want to spend more money than you'll ever see on art that you think is ugly. that's how they know they're more sophisticated and cultured than you.
