I have a friend who tried to start a small cottage industry basically renting out actual paintings on the cheap to use as commoner's house decoration, and as a result he could pick the best of the lot and basically be a permanent owner of whatever he wanted.

But that was when the economy was shit and plebs didn't want to spend jewbux on a painting. It's too bad because even though they're nothing you'd ever want to put in a museum, the bits he hung on to really do make for pretty cool house decor and conversation pieces.

Because modern day art is produced by jews and pretentious liberals without any skills, talent or effort.

Only fascists, imperialists, patriots, religious and traditionalistic people make good art. And they only make that art when they are at their height of their civilization, and when they are not shamed for pride in their people and culture.

Cultural relativism killed art.

I saw one piece of modern art which was literally just a photograph of a banana.

Its pretencious shit that they market to dumb rich people. Its like one of those f2p games, you dont earn money from most people, you earn it from the big spending whale that has no concept of monetary value because they are so filthy rich.

I think most conservatives (normal cuckservatives) dont care for art whatsoever anymore namely because the liberals dominate the field so heavily.

A few rotten apples ruin the bunch essentially.

But who knows, given how much people online value old art and complex artworks etc it might make a comeback.

Maybe we will see a right-wing cultural Renaissance.

The point regarding comparisons between representational work vs abstraction or abstract impressionism (in the case of Rothko) isnt lost on me. Thought I have found this sort of debate lazy. All art movements are of value culturally. This degenerate vs non degenerate art debate brought on by Hitler was always ironic to me considering how fucking pedestrian his skill and eye were.

I work at one of the top 2 auction houses in the US. I started in smaller houses though, so have seen all the different markets around the country. Conservatives buy historical items of all types, guns, furniture, coins, etc. There is definitely a large market for paintings, especially regional. You just don't see them buying any contemporary art.

>>129915381
>Although you claim to love art, you'll be hard pressed to say 4 names of living realist painters, right?

Anyone would. Realism was relegated to advertising in much of the 20th century, and then cheap photography and computers killed the cottage industry.

Also, what's with that pic? Are we to believe it isnt just traced over a layer?

No they aren't. Degenerate in the mathematical sense would be when the artwork takes a certain extreme characteristic, usually in the amount of order in the painting, and thereby cease to be an artwork. For example a solid block of marble that hasn't been sculptured at all. If future civilizations where to find such an "artwork" they wouldn't be able to distinguish that it was a product of human artifice.

Should a Rothko or a Basquiat outsell Diego Rivera? Hard question. Market is dependent on demand. Rivera was an icon for a wider movement, all be it one that has historical echos. The demand for Rothko is distinctly tied to the revolutionary nature of the color field works, and how they were to some effect a pinnacle of a unique movement with little hitorical echo. Do I think its worth 100,000,000, no, but I understand why its in high demand and institutionally celebrated.

Because art isn't worth the money that artists think it is. I'm very happy that this market is shrinking down and artists are forced to do other things seeing that art is dying. Good riddance.

Because there are no good contemporary artists to buy directly from and art dealing is just money laundering? Historically, all the great painters, sculptors, composers, architects, etc. were all commissioned by the conservative elite because they wanted to enrich their country. In the post-modern world though, all the artists do is get paid a barely survivable wage by globalists to make some subversive piece that nobody will care about in a year.

No you faggot. Libtards (in the art scene) scoff at anything that resembles realism in any way. Even if it has conceptual value, if it uses literal imagery they hate it, call it kitch, and turn to the autist painting a single square on a canvas and throw money at it because it makes them feel superior to think "only we understand art."

I have a degree in art history, I understand art, and I think it's a bunch of retards jerking themselves off in museums as another form of virtue signalling.

Fact is, these artist are complete narcissistic scumbags. They think what they are doing adds real value to the world (when it doesn't) and demand tax payers to pay for it, then get all butthurt when they realize everyday people dont like their bullshit.

I support skilled arts like metalsmithing and printmaking. Everything else at this point is shit.

Luckily the art world works on a pendulum. It tends to swing from realism to conceptual. Eventually the mainstream art will go back to something worthwhile.

The internet has also screwed things up in the art scene... in a good way. No longer do talentless crooks control what is popular and galleries are no longer the gatekeeper to financial success for artists. The internet HAS created a greater divide between "art" and "craft" but it has also made it easier for everyday people to make a living off of their skills. SKILL is the keyword here, something many contemporary artist lack, they just try to hide it behind a full page artist statement that has nothing to do with the work itself.

Yeah, I know. Should be more specific and say a minor in Art History.
I made dumb decisions, but I also make a ton of money as a welder and metalsmith on the side... so there's that.
Dealing with "artist" on a daily basis gave me a new understanding of just how psychotic libtards are and I am grateful for the opportunity because it redpilled me long before I visited this korean basket weaving image board.

I went to Art school hoping to understand and be able to make contemporary art. I got out hating it more than ever.
