Immanuel Kant
Proximity to death, an awareness of mortality. Led by dada-ists( Frances Picabia Is your main bro here, pretty much invented analog photoshopped) art transitioned away from the classic paradigm, and was replaced by a combination of new processes (acrylic paint, photography) and a new ways of thinking about art (conceptual rather than representational). I am simplifying, but these are hot truths, so choke them down.

Painting like shit, and pretending it was due to some deep meaning rather than the fact that the painter lacked talent, started long before WW1.
And it wasn't the Jews, since they're generally incapable of creativity, but many of the art critics who praised this garbage WERE Jews.
>>136080732
my printscreen button can copy dali paintings too. what does that matter? its not about how hard it is, its what visionary viusals it invents. Nobody did like picasso before he did it.

No complaints. I work in my industry, and am happy. Main thing here is that idiots in ANY pursuit make the rest of us look bad. Just because you have a box of cunts that are phoning it in for an easy, worthless degree doesn't mean that there isn't value beneath the scum floating at the top.
Once people realized you could sell more art if you attached a shit ton of ethereal 'ideas' to it, people started going that way. Art became more about the idea than the physical object. Being 'creative' or 'groundbreaking' was more important than being talented or exacting. It became about the painter/sculptor/artiste. Were they intriguing? Were they intellectual? Were they stylish, stoic, etc? Then whatever they make must be good! The enigma of the artist is surely imbued into this painting somehow, and this work must be 'important'!

No need. Took my parents to the local art museum last year when they came to visit, and we wound up having a variety of interesting discussions as we spent the day going working from ancient artifacts up through modern art.
Things really seemed to go downhill not too long after impressionism. Although the year before I brought them to this really cool experiential set of exhibits by invited artists. We had a blast there, and it was refreshingly back to a focus on the experience of the art rather than who could come up with the snarkiest 10 layers of sarcasm concept.
>>136077316
Peggy Guggenheim was a major patron of the arts, who was able to fund the likes of Picasso, Duchamp, and the rest of the modernist movements. She was Jewish.
There were non Jew artistic influences like the impressionists and post impressionists. But Jews funded and promoted it.
(((Freud))) and Jung heavily influenced many artists too. Lots of straight up mentally ill people were taking up art.
Modern art can be kinda interesting from a detached perspective. Deconstructing the genuine intentions yet pseudo-intellectualism of each modern art movement can be amusing.
Postmodernism definitively ended art though. Modern art was trying to express ideals, and pose questions. Postmodernism sought to destroy ideals and invalidate genuine inquiry.
Warhol killed art.

Come to think of it, the older stuff often had more elaborate and insightful analyses accompanying them for us peasants to gain some greater insight into the meaning, intention, and import behind each particular work or genre.
That got more rare the further we got into modern absurdism, even though some of it was strangely catchy for its ambiguity.

It was actually a response to Communism. CIA (or FBI, can't remember) used it as a tool to push propaganda.
The gist was Americans swung their cocks around producing garbage because they can, and that was supposed to be a jab at Communists who needed to produce tangible things.
It's in the documents on the American government website, showing CIA/FBI (can't remember) were funneling money to a few artists so they could produce this garbage.
tl;dr CIA/FBI used "look what i can do and u can't" for propaganda
Outside of that, the real debate is whether or not it was truly for propaganda or were they laundering money and used that as a cover

Death of realism and emergence of romanticism, that's your answer.
People were BORED TO DEATH of realism paintings and their 'artistic' values meant little. Why? Because with realism, art was more about "skill" than "creativity". Newer forms of art were a fresh breath of air for artists.

>>136095861
Not really, the death of realism was very profitable to art. Realism was less about art and more about skill. After the death of realism, impressionism sprung up and so did many other forms of arts that cared more about creativity than "skill" per se, such as expressionism, surrealism, cubism, etc. Anybody could look at a beautiful landscape and make art out of it with realism, but it took true creativity to create pieces of art that connected with the hearts and minds of people, such as what Dali, Monet, Cezanne, Renoir, Munch, etc produced.
Hitler and Stalin both only wanted realism in their countries, they produced little works of art with artistic values.
>>136096589
But those were just different modulations on realism, at least to me. You can't ask some idiot to pull off the inherent realism in an impressionistic or cubic painting.
Seems like what came after was worth doing, but like it never really recovered.
>>136096589
>Hitler and Stalin both only wanted realism in their countries
Stalin yes, Hiter no. Hitler hated "degenerate art" which is basically everything after impressionism including it.
>>136096589
The votes are in:
Expressionism and Surrealism are top kek bc they mimic reality but also show glimmers of hope through the potential.

>>136097108
The biggest thing that art today is missing is the element of craft. It is not being taught enough. Really comes back to communists infiltrating art if you think about it. Something that is well crafted has high value. Higher value then something less immaculate. So like any marx commie jew would do they want to tear it down.

>>136077316
It really started with Cezanne messing with the traditional approach to representing perspective in the latter half of the 19th century.
Cezanne broke up and generally messed with perspective in a low-key but very strange way.
Picasso was a virtuoso. At some point in his 20s, circa 1907, he started taking some cues from Cezanne, and combining it with the strangeness (non-realism) of the representation of bodies and forms seen in African art, including masks and sculpture.
Picasso developed in this vein from circa 1907 - 1915, his cubist period. He created some gorgeous stuff, along with Braque, a French artist with whom Picasso was artistically linked during this critical period. Pic related is from 1913.
Picasso's prestige and success opened the door for the spread of this new approach. Other artists jumped on it and developed it along their own lines, notably the futurists, and later the surrealists.
Most of the formal advances in cubism had developed *before* WWI.
After WWI, Picasso loosened up and played with a lot of different forms -- being a protean artist of truly prodigious talent.
Until in the 30s he was producing work of the kind seen in OP pic. When you see a strange pic like this, think of meme that's been evolving and developing for a year or more, until the point it may have gotten quite strange. Don't take pics like OP pic *too* seriously -- Picasso is having fun with this stuff. It's fun and serious both.
Meanwhile, the surrealists, and other cliques, were breaking the mold in their own way in the 1920s.
The new approach was popular and prestigious. Many new artists jumped on the bandwagon.
And so on and so forth. There are some Jewish connections along the way, but really the driving force for these developments was the genius of Picasso.

It's a meme you fucking newfag.
>>136099301
>a subjective matter
Art is not subjective. There are some paintings that are objectively better than others.
>>136098588
PS: I've never gotten quite clear on this, but some form of drug use may have played a role, too. Eg, absinthe, and I'm not sure what else. The way I imagine it, you have virtuoso like Picasso, he has a natural sublime talent and eye (see, e.g.: >>136087434). Now, what if he gets a little high on whatever, and starts really studying Cezanne's stuff with its odd distortions of perspective (pic related), meanwhile also looking deep into African art, paintings, masks and sculpture. And the guy's a genius and a workaholic, and he eventually comes up with Les D'emoiselles d'avignon, his famous 1907 painting. Maybe an assist from some drug or other, maybe not, I'm not sure. But it's a mildly interesting sub-question.
>>136099403
I am indeed new. Also, by "meme" do you just mean some shitty bait? Bait or not, this is /pol/ so I'm definitely expecting some people who actually think realistic paintings are inherently superior to anything else.
>>136099550
Ehhh, you'd be surprised. A consensus of the majority doesn't mean it's objective.
Or at least, art is subjective once it reaches some kind of quality threshold.
>>136077316

A couple of things always blew me away about this picture.
Picasso paints the embroidered flowers on the carpet, but then has "real" flowers fall on top of the embroidered flowers (of course, both the "real" flowers and the embroidered flowers are painted flowers on a flat canvas) (it's a little bit hard to see the effect in this reproduction). It's a rather bold, rather playful gesture that seems to prefigure some of Picasso's later developments and preoccupations as a painter.
I've also been struck by the virtuosic use of white on white painting, in the first Communion gown, in particular. There's nothing over done about it, but it's such a technical achievement, I can't help but think that Picasso is maybe showing off a little.
A third detail that has always intrigued me is the slightly off-angle of the main bar of the prie-dieu the girl is kneeling on. That somehow prefigures in my mind Picasso's fascination with strong, slightly off-kilter in his cubist period, in particular.

You just parroting bullshit art professors spew at colleges to make you and themselves feel good.
"I would never hope to create something like that, so I just pretend that it is just meaningless copying of reality." - this is basically what they mean.
Realism was about both skill and creativity. If you look at painting and see only what appears to be carefully copied photo, you are stupid, lazy or deliberately trying not to see more.
