i happen to like everything everything and i know what the painting is saying to me

Stuart Davis has a posse

idont think something like this needs to be painted by hand..i mean its nice that they spent all the time but if its going to be drawn up on a computer first ..maybe its because im looking at this on a video..what id really like to know is how she got such a big contract .painting that on ladders would be a bitch

We started with the era of realism the 18th-century arts, that artists were delivering true culture and social messages through their arts. The people, objects, and these arts were and still are popular in modern era. When the trend went to impressionism the artists tried to portray world history, culture, people, and objects at a glance, as if you cannot see things much clearly in the art. As if a person's face is drawn but cannot see the eyes, face, nose, mouth, etc. It means we are gradually shifting from real art to fake art. Impressionists draw portraits with a brush of stroke, not a clear detailing, and much thinking. impressionist painting could require less hard work than realistic art. If artists of realism would exist in the ancient world the world history would be much different, we could see real historical faces and objects but unfortunately, this movement started according to some sources in the 18th century, but I believe natural art has a long history. When it comes to modern arts I feel like the artists become more of imaginary things that are not related to this world. They just want to create arts that inspire a few. Most of the arts that are created do not represent the world culture, history, persons, objects, or any social message. If modern artist claim there is a social message in his/her art to under the art the artist have to explain which to my understanding does not give any logic. They say the arts talk, have a vision, and speak for themselves, modern either is more meaningless, expressionless, emotionless, socialness, attentiveness, attractiveness can be observed if you ask more art lovers. They say artists bring new ideas, portray emotions, see the world from a different angle, present social injustices which these artistic qualities can be observed in the artist's belief in realism.

that's just stupid

big ego

A bit much of a muchness.

sadly underinformed.

If there is no narrative, there is no meaning. Something that is meaningless has no effect.

This shit is why there should be $0 art grants.
