The fine art stuff that's in museums and such never really spoke to me it seems to for other people. I can admire the technique behind it, but apart from that I don't have much of a reaction. There are people that can write 20 paragraphs about interpreting things and such but it doesn't make any sense to me.

>>115727i'm the same way, this also goes for other widely celebrated works of art like certain books or music as well for me...
far be it from me to say something like "i don't understand it", i think all art is admirable, but i'm just not really the type to think super deeply about stuff you'd see in a museum
>>115714out of all the stuff in this thread, i like this one the most. she looks friendly.

>>115736It can be, but oftentimes not. For example, the frame in
>>115691 aligns with the rustic theme of the painting more broadly. A gauche gold frame would have felt out of place. From what I understand, frames are replaced with some frequency alongside long-term repairs, like carefully removing layers of dust with solvent, making patches where the canvas might have frayed, and placing the canvas onto new stretcher bars and replacing the original staples. Repairs like those are done maybe every 50 years or so? It probably depends on the environment.

>>115727Yeah, I feel somewhat the same way. It kinda makes me feel a bit inadequate at times that I can stare at more of the fine art stuff and only feel complicated feelings about what I'm
supposed to be feeling rather than actually feeling something, while I can look at pic related and take comfort in that I feel happy and pleased with the shininess and bright colors. It always caused me extreme discomfort whenever I went to a museum or art gallery because I felt out of place, unable to understand what the philosophical significance I was meant to gleam from looking at the various displays.
Makes me wonder if rather than thinking about and trying to figure out the meaning of it, I'm meant to take the same approach and simply appreciate what's shown for what it is. I like
>>115690 as I think it's doing an artistic interpretation of the dust bowl.

>>115758>what I'm supposed to be feeling rather than actually feeling somethingArt is created for many reasons and there's not always an underlying reasoning that's visible in the art for why something is the way that it is. A lot of modern art is simply created for the purpose of being appreciated. You don't look at that Precure butte and become confounded at its raison d'etre, do you?
Now, it is true that a lot of fine art does have some meaning to it, but its important to understand that when there is meaning there is often just as much an emphasis on beauty, for someone to be able to appreciate an artwork without understanding the underlying reasoning for it. For example, pic related is a romantic artwork depicting an emblazoned sky and a ship navigating treacherous waters. On closer inspection however you'll see hands and chains reaching through the water. The emblazoned sky and crashing waves are an analogy for the raw emotion and turmoil of the hearts of the slaves cast overboard. You might have been able to guess part of that, but for many people you require the additional context to appreciate it. That's nothing to be ashamed of, or embarrassed by. If anything, learning the context should allow you to be able to appreciate an artwork more.

I went to a museum that I had visited as a kid back in 2019 and it was all gutted out and everything was replaced with "modern art" and minimalism bullshit. Haven't been to one ever since. Would be interested in going to an actual good one if possible.
No.116643
I've been trying to draw and paint as a hobby for a couple of years and I think it has made me appreciate art in general more, but I think it helps a lot to know the artist's approach. Things like if they're trying to paint a picture that looks real in as few brushstrokes. Then you know what you should be looking for when viewing it. I've not been to a museum in a long time but I think it would be hard to make that kind of connection if it's not a space dedicated to one particular artist or movement.
I think the shapes in these ones here
>>115695,
>>115696,
>>115699 are very interesting, the way the artists can make these big shapes, like how the back of the cat is largely one big angle, and make it convincing.
I like the tag faux_traditional_media for seeing how some of these methods carry over. This artists use of color is always amazing to me, if you used a color picker on many of these they won't look like how they look relative to the other colors in the picture.

>>116643I absolutely agree! In the shameimaru picture you posted, the white background which would ordinarily be the canvas itself makes up the clouds in a similar fashion to what was done in
>>116624. The lack of paint can itself be a color to the advantage of the artist!

>>116624>>116625>>116628Trying to learn about what qualifies as high art the other day, I ran into the idea of a hierarchy that placed painting historical and religious scenes at the very top, in part due to the technical skill involved but also due to all the values associated with it compared to still life or a landscape. Very interesting stuff.
I don't know how pic fits into all of this, but it's a painting I REALLY like. It makes Richelieu look so powerful in the middle of a very dangerous situation, with the burning ships and rowboats placed inbetween the spikes alongside the mobilized men in the background on the left. His position at the center standing out with his red and black, the posture, even the reflection beneath him, it's just perfect.

>>116639Abstract art isn't (necessarily) worse than representational, it's just different. Trying to compare a Caravaggio to a Picasso is like comparing a novel to a poem.

I really like this sculpture of Pope John Paul II being hit by a meteorite. It is very funny to me.
>>116648>I always thought The Swing was rococo...I think you're correct. Some places characterize Rococo as being a sort of sub-movement of Baroque, specifically late Baroque artwork, but The Swing is definitely Rococo.
