photography is usually done in series. meaning is generated through difference (or sameness) rather than being able to accurately render the physical world.
in both cases of repin and photography the rendering of the physical is the first step, but photography goes one step further in using that means to a further end. in comparison, mimesis is the end in repin. there's no depth.

The symbolism of this painting is subtle yet amazing.
Russia - an outdated sailing ship that moves only because a bunch of starving misers drag it.
At the same time, a steamship passed and moves in the opposite direction.
The youngest of burlaks seems like he's throwing away his yoke, as if Repnin subconsciously felt the upcoming revolution that he was still around to witness.

This is exactly the problem. If art is good, you don't need to read up on it in order to enjoy it. Learning about its context is great and should increase your appreciation of it, but it shouldn't be the only reason anyone recognizes it as art. You don't need to understand religious symbolism to appreciate the Book of Kells or some Hindu statue, you could appreciate them without any knowledge of what they are or where they came from because they actually look good. If you saw a painting of a dot without knowing what it is or why it was made, you probably wouldn't even give it a second thought.
Abstract art can be great, but that kind of stuff just isn't.
Love paintings like this. Martial, regal, fantastical. Lots of "big emotion" in a single painting.

that is exactly malevich's point. you don't need to know any form of references to appreciate art. beauty can be found in something as simple and basic as a circle, something almost all humans have an almost innate understanding of. the circle is perhaps the purest of all geometric shapes in the simplicity of its definition yet the interesting things you can derive out of the interactions of other geometric forms with circles (trigonometry comes to mind). a newborn child can enjoy malevich because there's literally no other deeper meaning. its just pure shapes. you spouting that as a criticism of malevich only shows your ignorance of his work i'm afraid

>you don't need to know any form of references to appreciate art
And yet, you need to understand Malevich's point in order to care about his painting in any way. That's my point; it's not good, it's just trying to make a point. If you don't know that point, there's nothing to appreciate. If you do know that point, you're appreciating the point itself, not the art, because there's nothing to appreciate in the art itself.
>the interesting things you can derive out of the interactions of other geometric forms with circles
Maybe if he had depicted that it would have been a good painting, but he didn't, it's just a circle.
>>1424348
it was a revival of medieval painting styles from 1880s to the late 1900s so they tried to imitate the composition and themes of painters from the time, especially raphael.

no you dont need to understand malevich's point. he just explained why he made said painting in that way. you can enjoy it without having read about why he made that painting if you were not conditioned to find for indicators of skill or meaning and just enjoy it as-is. its just a circle, there's literally nothing else to "get" about it. can't you appreciate pure shapes or are you so pretentious (and i use this in the fullest sense of the word) that you always want something else?
Water Serpents 2, Gustav Klimt
Hello.
>>1424379
Anon, just be honest; would you enjoy or care about that painting if it wasn't by a famous artist? If I drew a circle in MS Paint, would you call it a masterpiece?
>you can enjoy it without having read about why he made that painting if you were not conditioned to find for indicators of skill or meaning and just enjoy it as-is.
I don't see any 'skill or meaning' when I look at the tree outside my window, but I still think it's beautiful. If there was a big ominous circle floating outside my window, I don't think I would. The fact is that while circles can be beautiful, a circle on its own with no context is not.
>can't you appreciate pure shapes or are you so pretentious (and i use this in the fullest sense of the word) that you always want something else?
Well yes actually. I'm not a newborn baby, I'd like art to have some kind of complexity or beauty, anything at all. If it's pretentious to expect more than a basic circle and nothing else, then I'm pretentious. If I want to see a circle, I'll look around me. There's a glass of water beside me, it's rim is a circle. I don't need some artist to show me what a circle looks like. There's more beauty in that glass of water than that painting.
There's nothing to appreciate in that painting, you just act like you 'get it' (which means knowing there's 'nothing to get' about it, funnily enough) in order to feel superior to everyone else, which you've made clear in your accusations that I'm the pretentious one here.
>>1424415
>would you enjoy or care about that painting if it wasn't by a famous artist? If I drew a circle in MS Paint, would you call it a masterpiece?
if you drew it in ms paint i would call it shit because its been done before
>The fact is that while circles can be beautiful, a circle on its own with no context is not.
why cant a circle be beautiful at its own though?
>There's a glass of water beside me, it's rim is a circle. I don't need some artist to show me what a circle looks like. There's more beauty in that glass of water than that painting.
you are only seeing a circle through the context of other things - glasses, clocks, etc. the painting is about the purity of the circle and enjoying the circle as-is
>There's nothing to appreciate in that painting, you just act like you 'get it' (which means knowing there's 'nothing to get' about it, funnily enough) in order to feel superior to everyone else, which you've made clear in your accusations that I'm the pretentious one here.
i don't get the painting as there's nothing to get. its just a circle. thats it. the lack of a point can fly over others heads though who always seek to find some point in a piece
>>1424445
