What are the historical canon books in art education?
Like what has been historically the books artist from all arts have used to learn painting, music composition, sculpture, writing, poetry, architecture.
What books did renaissance artists used to read to learn?
How bout baroco, roccoco?
Pls, nothing from the XX century.
>baroco
*Baroque ("baroco" is a logical syllogism)
Anyway, here are some that I can think of (desu, I don't actually know much on this subject):
Aristotle - Poetics
Vitruvius - De Architectura
many renaissance painters wrote essays and books which I suppose were quite influential (Dürer, Leonardo's "Trattato della pittura"...)
critic Vissarion Belinsky had strong influence on Russian realism
But keep in mind that artists such as painters and musicians learned most of their craft from a...

thanks bro.
I'm aware of the atelier system, but I found it pretty weird to believe there wasn't simply some art books made by philosophers or some art admirer or any person after the printing press was invented and commonly avilable.
Let's say there should be something written in the 16-17 century, I refuse to believe people didn't wrote anything.

I read one when I was 12 or so, that had a great twist/message about greed that has stuck with me many years later.
Infinite Jest
Why do so many fans of The Lord of the Rings seem to miss the terrible melancholy that suffuses the series?
It's like they don't notice how everything 'cool' in the books--The Shire, Rivendell, Moria, Lothlorien, Isengard, Fangorn, Minas Tirth, even Mordor--is in its last, bitter days. A new age, OUR age, is dawning, and everything awesome and terrible and beautiful in Tolkien's world is about to go away forever. The series is great, but it's so, so depressing.
It would be depressing if that faggot didn't destroy the ring. The ring gets destroyed everything's good nigger. Don't fret.

>everything's good
>everything's
>'s
no, no it isn't
>>7787094
The melancholy was really put into context for me after reading the Silmarillion
Everything is so bittersweet yet beautiful

Books with odd subject matter?
Weird books?
Weird, odd, out there, what
And I'm referring to subject matter of the book, not the prose. I don't mean weird as in inaccessible (joyce) or textual gimmicks (danielewski). I mean weird subject matter (I guess danilewski still fits).
Can be fiction or non-fiction. What's the weirdest book you've ever read?
The Book of Mormon. Weirdest Bible fanfic ever.

the boys i mean are not refined

one carves a cross on her behind
they do not give a shit for wit

who cannot read and cannot write
who laugh like they would fall apart
and masturbate with dynamite

Anyone got some good extistential books?
>>7786881
Read that one in high school. Great book tbqh, but doling out assignments and papers, being forced to see it from a teacher's perspective kinda kills it.
>>7786881
if you want novels I would say "The Hermit" by Eugene Ionesco
Anything by Kafka.
The sheer poetic power of this book humbles me. I feel I have fallen under a spell reading Quentin and Jason's parts. The sounds, the rhythms, the meter Faulkner translates into prose is so invigorating I can't contain my enthusiasm.
What are some books whose sheer beauty in prose and construction has blown you away, /lit/?
Quentin is my favorite Faulkner character. That 2nd part (the shadow of the sash) is brilliant.
If you think TSATF is good, then you really need to read Absalom, Absalom! It's even more fun. And I think it's Faulkner's best.
And get some whisky while you're at it!
>>7786895
Not op but I feel the same way, quentin's whole section was fucking chilling in a great way. I've only read sound and the fury and as I lay dying from faulkner so far so I'll check out absalom absalom next.
Where does it stand on comprehensibility from TSatF to AILD?
>>7786929
Absalom is more comprehensible in the sense that it isn't AILD / Benjy style, but it's a much more difficult read. check out Light in August, The Hamlet, Go Down Moses, Sanctuary, Old Man (one half of the novel Wild Palms, the half in Yok. county)
Im only 35 pages into this book and I'm already getting the cosmic slap from Friedrich Nietzsche!!
What a brilliant mind!!!
This is the worst and most obvious shit post I have seen this month.

But one thing I noticed about him is that he was very condescending towards religious people and plebeians.

Any advice on learning Mandarin as absolute beginner? I want to learn this language but I don't know what literature or materials to use (websites, apps, etc.).
Also how difficult is it? Will I be able to understand the basics by the beginning of this summer?

>Also how difficult is it?
Hardest language, because the Chinese can't into efficiency.
Recommend me a fantasy series or book that has a similar atmosphere to the video game Skyrim.
Cheers.
