POST ART DECO ARCHITECTURE
literally the reddit of architecture
>>1133609
I wonder why art-deco is so underappreciated.
Not all modern art is bad right?
Of course not.
>>1122942
art is neither bad, nor good, it's art.
Sure it's not.
Recommend me some decent books.
I know knowthing except that everyone hated everyone.
Lets solve this once and for all, boffins.

I'll start at the beginning, which is end of WW1. The Serbs were always the majority in Yugoslavia, and in the 'Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes' the Serb king split up country in such a way, that the Serbs were also the majority in almost every province (pic related). This caused considerable anger in all the other ethnicities, and most of all the Croats, who in return became Nazi collaborators and committed horrible war crimes against Serbian civilians (Jasenovac concentration camp).

Country was unsuccesfull for a long time, even umder tito.
War started when kosovo openly blamed serbs and system

>Hitler was bad
Am I on reddit right now?
Thoughts on him?
he's a pretty good actor I guess
>>1153329
Terrorism.
>>1153329
Hugely overrated
Three alt history questions.
Has Stalin died in november 1941 and had USSR collapsed, how would WW2 continue? If at all?
Would USA have the will to try and subdue unfettered Nazi Germany?
Would Britain fall?
>>1151136
Unless the Soviets not entering the war suddenly gave Germany a large surface fleet and larger Air Force, no, nothing changes except that the war lasts longer.
>>1151148
What if soviet supported Germany and nazi . I know it is very unlikely to happen .
>>1151161
They did support them until the Nazis decided it was time to take clay.

Is he right?
No, and he's British which furthers discredits his opinion.
>>1150999
He's British so its probably a personal biased opinion.
>>1150999
Everyone knows British people aren't allowed to own pocket knives, so why would they know jack shit about guns.
Why arent you a Marxist, /his/?

Oh look, it's this thread again. Little petit-bourgeoise me would love to see a different outcome this time, but I guess it's a historical inevitability.
Heaven is the spiritual dimension intersecting with the material, you don't make heaven by saying there is no heaven and let's have it strictly material.
What is the Christian version of Wahhabism ?
Christian Dominionism after America collapses and Glenn Beck the Anointed One decides to make Texas great again
>>1147040
White American Protestantism
>>1147040
Protestantism. It's not a fair comparison though, since Islamic dogma isn't centralized in Mecca like Catholicism is in the Vatican and as such can never have a "reform" because no one school of thought is the "correct" one to follow and repair. A muslim pope would solve a lot of their problems desu.
Are there any historical events that legitimately make you feel sad to know they happened?
For me it's the fall of the Weimar Republic.
It could have been wonderful.

It would've been a mess

For me it was the fall of the Third Reich.
It could of been wonderful.
Were there ever a more loveable bunch of shitflinging rebels than the IRA?

I wish I was irish
I don't know why the Irish have such a good reputation abroad if they're some of the scummiest, trashiest and dumbest people in Europe. Literally only Albanians are more retarded.
You're basically heaping praise upon papist ISIS.

So /his/ where and when is your comfy place and time?
Recently saw a thread about pre roman Iberia and it looked cosy as fuck.
Just imagine hanging out and fishing with your buddies and then nipping to the tavern for a night of booze and wenches as a squall rolls past.

>Just imagine hanging out and fishing with your buddies and then nipping to the tavern for a night of booze and wenches as a squall rolls past.
There are still fishing villages all around the world boy.
>>1136517
OP of that thread here, can confirm, constant warfare aside, iberian towns were comfy as fuck.
What can /his/ tell me about the Papal States?
>>1153398
The official land of the Papacy.

Any other questions, kiddo?
Ballet, classical music, opera, (musical) theater. Feel free to ask any questions and open up any topics, post your waifu, or state any opinions.
I'll post some topics to get us started:
1) Is art theater suffering? What can be done to help increase interest in the arts? What is being done where you live? Do you like it? Is it effective?
2) Is it your impression that choreographers are moving away from using art music as settings for their works? Why? Does this have implications for new composers? For the relationship between art music and art dance?
Ballet dancer here. Can you explain what you mean by choreographers moving away from "art music"? Which choreographers do you mean and define "art music"? As far as I know a lot of choreographers (mostly ballet just because that's my area of expertise) either use old compositions or newer pieces that tend to fall under the ambient umbrella
>>1149040here again
I want to ask about the pretentiousness of a lot of arts that try and keep themselves pure (I'm thinking of ballet again but there are plenty of others that also suffer from this). I've noticed that for the most part these arts have only a few wealthy, older patrons that support them and the audience tends to be mostly other members of that artistic community. It feels masturbatory almost. What do you think of it? Is it dangerous for the art form?
>>1149040
I really don't know much about ballet, but whenever I go to see local choreographers in the dance companies from my community (Midwest America), they seem to mostly choreograph to ambient, film or pop music.
I guess by "art" music, I mean contemporary music produced in an academic setting (Julia Wolfe, Jennifer Higdon, Pauline Oliveros would be examples. Don't ask me why I only picked women). My pic in the OP is a nonexample of what I'm talking about.
I (as a composer) worked...
