Hell yeah. Makes me feel weird. Confuses my mind. Spit on beauty. Weed. Perfect image. 10 out of 10.

Uhm epSCUSE me, it is actually Very Important to have Good Art as it can only be produced and appreciated by superior* (*western, male) beings such as myself, see below for an important example

[-] HotSoda@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

That is legit a great sculpture too. Cloth is extremely difficult to sculpt.

[-] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

It's technically very impressive, and the artist is obviously very skilled, but I don't think it's good in terms of being interesting art

[-] HotSoda@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

Anyone know who the artist is? I'm curious what else she's done.

I can see where you're coming from. How everything is flowing, the fabric and the hair, is interesting to me though. But I'm biased, I used to sculpt. So maybe the skill on display is all I need. I wonder if she's done anything that might be more interesting in a different way.

this feels fascist

this is basically the nazi obsession with removed art (the fact it was removed implies worse words than what I actually said)

[-] Ericthescruffy@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

If "Hints at Forgotten Values" and "Believes in, and tries to produce, beauty" weren't enough then "Good art is man's divine right and terrible duty" should remove all doubt. Its most definitely Fasch.

It sucks that perspective, color theory, light logic, and anatomy don't exist anymore. I wish it took even less than a single google search to find art tutorials, artists with open commissions, and professional artists posting their work on instagram. This is coming from the same jokesters who deride people for studying art for their occupation. This is a funny one because it doesn't even feel like they're saying poor or queer people shouldn't exist, this is just them being uninformed hypocrites straight up.

Edit: Noticing that Fun with a Pencil (Pain with a Pencil), came out in 1939. Loomis' work has been wildly influential on how people do figure drawing/portrait drawing but somehow standards were decreasing and continued to decrease despite his influence in the realm of "art"

makes you feel weird

Waaah, all art must exist as shallow, uplifting slop!

mocks the concept of values

How dare an artist endeavour to make something that questions my values!

[-] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

The only real difference between good art and bad art, if there is such a distinction, is whether the art is revolutionary or reactionary. Art that serves revolutionary politics is good while art that wallows in some reactionary nonsense is bad. It's quite telling that values has to either be hinted at or mocked, leaving little room for openly politicized art. Could it be that this loser has reactionary ideas but understands that those reactionary ideas can't be openly expressed so they must be hinted at?

One time I recommended Uncut Gems to a coworker, and she gave it a shot. She said it was the most bizarre film she had ever seen and it was completely contrary to her values.

I asked what she meant, she told me she thought Howard was going through a redemption arc. That he'd eventually see the error of his ways after winning the basketball gamble and go around to everyone he wronged to apologize, hand them money, and then convert to Christianity (yes she said this). She told me she felt weird for days after seeing it. I think she's more used to watching creepy evangelical propaganda movies.

So that's what this guy reminds me of

The irony here is that, based off the conclusion’s definition of bad art, the chart itself is bad art.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

I do see some "high art" as money laundering shit bought then traded between rich fucks (sometimes actual shit put in a can and shit like that), but that said, yeah, the idea of "good art" reeks of up-yours-woke-moralists

[-] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

Long way to say that according to them, good art conforms to their biases, while bad art challenges them.

I'd argue it's the opposite. Good art should challenge the way you think, it should be capable of making you uncomfortable.

[-] Wheaties@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

mister OLODBOOKSGUY i was using your very helpful guide to sort the bad art from the good art, when something funny happened. I said a piece was bad art that enfeebled my canon until it produced stagnation. But my freind said it was a good map that hinted at structured and rhythmic forgotten values. We can't both be right, can we?

[-] Magician@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

It's a good thing art and its reception don't serve as barometers for fascism.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
