I wouldn't rank artforms, but I do believe that sculpture is the purest form of art because it is completely subtractive from the medium. 100% creation by subtraction, like controlled destruction of the medium.

Most of it*.

Some of modern sculpture wrecks with your Renaissance man ideas.

Todd Hido, Patrick Joust and Wouter Van de Voorde are some of my favorite contemporary photographers.

I just checked /p/ and none of it seemed related to fine art, also appears to be a slow board

this really doesn't look like great art to me, more as if a teenage mind had produced it and thought it was really important
I don't really have a fixed taste in photos yet but I generally don't like things that are overblown or grainy, probably why I like shibata

https://youtu.be/Lg98qwI2Mio That's not the case, thought you may interpret it that way.

Perhaps you might enjoy the works of Andreas Gursky. Quite a famous photographer.

I follow photographers mainly on Tumblr, Insta, Facebook and Flickr.

I'm unaware of any website which curate photography, if you are a Tumblr user (I doubt it and expect backlash), you can follow or browse selected works here: input-invalid.tumblr.com/

janson's history of art includes art photography from its origins to 1980 more or less, you can find a pretty good list of names there.

>>8236631
again, looks too arranged and overblown, too "scenic"
I think I like photos that are self-aware (lo-fi is terrible, probably), but not highly "aesthetic", as in, the laguna, the hill, the chairs, especially the steam aswell as the light, but I suppose it's an improvement over those art-y houses

I can't properly evaluate theater because I'm a poorfag, meaning I either a) read a play's manuscript or b) watch the film version.

Novels > animation > live-action film > comics > music > television > paintings > short stories > video games > photography > poetry > sculpture > architecture > pornography

video games is so high not because it's artistically superior but because OP said "according to your tastes" which I interpret as "how much you enjoy it"
>>
I literally can't. I know a few art forms deeply and I see how each of them offers experiences that no other can. They are too different to be compared.

A straight line is stupid. Let's think of it as an axis of speed in which data is delivered (where visuals is the apex), how much attention it calls to the mind (aural beats the others) and how prompt it is to call for meaning and remembrance (symbolic stuff beats all); lastly a medium also can have a negative value, i.e. which of the aforementioned axises it doesn't deal with.

So for example read literature is almost purely symbolic with a vestige of aural, and usually no visuals; as such it delivers meaning and memory almost perfectly, but slowly, and requires attention. Music calls to attention and emotion by its very nature, and optionally has language in it; like literature though, it has a fixed, set time. Single images are timeless, and can have meaning in various ways, but by their immediate nature they can be disregarded easily and can take a lot of attention to understand and perceive throughly.

vidya (hasn't been done properly yet) > cinema > music > architecture > literature

sculpture and painting are ancillary to architecture

theatre is obsolete

Music is the highest art, no question.
The tune "moonlight sonata" by Beethoven is my evidence.

>>8236228
Literature = Theatre > Music > Painting = Sculpture > Architecture

I left film out because I know too little about film to be honest. I'm sure there's a lot of potential as a medium, but most of what I've seen has been worthless trash IMO.
>>
>>8239367
Literature is the highest art, no question.
The book "Infinite Jest" by David Foster Wallace is my evidence.
>>
Baroque music > Circa WW1 prose > Proto-modernist poetry > Late-imagist painting > Opera > Roman sculpture (imitating Greek originals) > English theatre > Vocal Rromantic music > Gothic revival / Venetian architecture

I probably forgot a few important artforms and eras, and didn't bother to list pleb shit.

They're hardly comparable. Architecture, which is the meeting of art, engineering, and philosophy, affects our lives in more ways than any of the other arts listed. It can in a moment create an atmosphere of romance, wonder, and excitement, and at the other end of the spectrum it can make one depressed and listless. Sculptures, however well done, are typically little more than decorations.
