It's been a while now. Let's have another non-degenerate art thread.
As always, you're free to post any art form, as long as it's non-degenerate
>Painting
>Sculpture
>Architecture
>Photography
>Poetry
>Music
>etc.
And as always, we invite people who are in favour of degenerate art to come here and argue their points. In the past, we've had a lot of people try to argue that art should not be about producing beauty with skill and talent, but about provoking people by invoking disgust, repulsion and so on (performance "art", modern "art" etc).
I'll start dumping!

IMHO there is a difference between clearly staged paintings (worst offenders are propaganda/political/power stuff), and others that just seem so natural and take you right there.
But yes, in the latter case, depictions of old times are plain awesome.

Yeah, Mormonism has almost no influence from the Catholic church which is probably why it is demonized so much. It's cultural roots are from American pioneers during the time of "Manifest Destiny" so they are die-hard patriots.
Pretty much all the stuff the Mormon tabernacle puts out is beautiful and unique. Highly recommend it to anyone who likes choir.

I've read a lot about Amish and Mennonites, who are pretty much unique to North America as well, and we even had a former Mennonite anon here once who said they're not very good at theology etc as one might think.

I was kind of disconcerted to find out that Bierstadt was a ruthless self-promoter. If he had lived in modern times, would he have been more like >>67803431? It's difficult to think about.
I'm not really sure if anyone here is aware of what Viz is, but they have (or did, I haven't read it in years now) a strip called The Critics. It fits in with this thread though because it's anti-degeneracy and sums the art world up pretty perfectly (I'm sure the fact both Critics having big noses is coincidence).

It's hard not to be when it seems like I'm in front of a person who managed to capture the every day aesthetic of another time, when people didn't just put beauty in museum but incorporated it in their daily lives.

I'm an outright anti-degenerate and everyone knows it in my department.
I have never revealed my power level, but I've got a copy of Reagan's biography on my desk and I happily tell others that I think art received a mortal wound in 1917. It's been dying every since, or at least in painting it has.
Very few professors are anti-degenerate b/c so few white, straight males are professors anymore. they're all old and dying. they're also in red-pilled subjects that are no longer an interest to college kids b/c they dont have muh womyns and muh minorities (anglo-saxon england, Louis France, etc)

I'm sick of seeing the shit popping up everywhere. Remove traditionalism, make everywhere look the same and this will aid multiculturism and the "culture shock" will be a thing of the past. That seems to be their thinking. Pieces of shit.

You should really aim on replacing a good professor and keeping the legacy alive. You'll be able to inspire more students to continue the anti-degenerate mindset and actually actively support real art. Modern/expressionist/performance art needs to go - challenge the very concept of it as art. It's not even art!

I'm no history PhD, so would you mind talking about the ways in which art received a mortal blow in 1917?
I'm pretty open to even the more abstract arts, which I see as "artist's art", which are more study of "pure form" or "pure perception", that can only be appreciated by trained artists. I think we have toxic relationship with it because we've forgotten what it's proper place was, but I don't see that it has no place at all.

Nighthawks is his most popular work but I've always been a bigger fan of Automat.
A man has told me god is good,
and stands above all men,
that he will never cast us forth,
though drenched with lust and sin,
That though we heed him little,
and pursue our own accord
he will not seek our bane nor yet,
unsheath his deadly sword
that he forgives excesses
and will not our prayers reject.
There was rumor in Gomorrah,
to that very same effect.
A friend avers that government,
has all our cares in mind.
And will not neglect the comfort of
the poor, the halt, the blind.
he maintains unreservedly,
his faith in policy.
to bring the fruits of honor to
the strong the just, the free.
he says the great in power seek
the profit of all men
It was mentioned in Treblinka,
but I did not heed it then.
Technology will save us,
i have heard a stranger say.
The wonderment of science,
skill, and tools will win the day.
Our comfort and our safety
we may leave to wise devices.
And men who build and train them up,
will coddle all our vices.
they’ll see the futre clearly
and avert all waiting dooms.
I think I heard it spoken in
Titanic’s smoking rooms.
The forgiveness of the strong is great,
I’m sure most meen agree.
The wisest and the best of us
will surely all be free.
the bold men, wise in letters
with their eye on public weal.
will never be cast out or forced
their knowledge to conceal.
Time alters soon the hearts of kings,
and all will be put right.
I heard it in the Gulag
almost every single night.
So go forth with the banner
of of redemption wafting high
and shout the slogan “Liberty!”
in land and sea and sky.
Of justice, peace, forgiveness, love,
proclaim the coming reign.
And cry the truth to power,
and the vanity of gain
That mercy always triumphs,
and that men will all be free.
Go tell them in Gomorrah,
but you didn’t come from me.

LOL! I think a lot of common people understand that postmodernism and performance art isn't ACTUALLY real art. It's just political bullshit. It reminds me of that image from some modern art installation where someone dropped a glove on the floor and everyone walked around it, unsure if the glove on the floor was part of the art installation. Or that case in Canada with some beauatiful traditionalist museum building getting some glass cube extension on the edge of the building by some Jewish architect.

Any suggested reading for understanding the decline of art?
I'll give it a shot.
All of the paintings and photographs posted, are of still subjects, and the paintings strive for photorealism.
I partially share the same viewd as you, I think that urinal piece is awful, and that blank white pieces of canvas are just that. So, shit, basically.
But would it really be wrong to start experimenting with exaggeration, or maybe start painting things that aren't true to life, that one paints completely out of imagination? Yes, of course the same standards except realism are still present, but there's a lot of ideas that cannot be observed in real life. I'm not particularly a fan of paintings or photographs that show humans sitting still, doing mundane things with little movement involved. Why couldn't there be fantasy creatures instead, in locations that don't exist, with poses and actions that couldn't possibly imply it was completely still?

>>67810635
I'd love to.
Marcel Duchamp was a abstractist, cubist, dadaist, etc.
he created "ready-mades": art that he believed was already partially made but just needed the touch of an artist to make everyday, ordinary objects into art.
He created L.H.O.O.Q. in the 1910s (I cant remember exactly and can't be bothered goggling something so degenerate)
In 1917, he created "The Fountain": a urinal, named something it is not as a funny little joke that art historians who are part-time enormous faggots, like to interpret as philosophically ground-breaking. He signed it with a pen name.
I think Duchamp is the result of Manet's 1863 bomb. Manet was a reformer and wanted to reform the standards of academic art in France, not destroy all notions of objective beauty and aesthetic standards.
Manet was to art what Martin Luther was to Christianity.
Attempted reformer, but ultimately encouraged degeneracy and the ultimate downfall of authority related to their speciality.
Don't get me wrong, I think some art still existed. In a watered-down way, American gothic and the like are quite artistic and beautiful, but in a simplistic way.
But after 1886 and the rise of post-Impressionisms, our notions of art become confused, subjective, and arbitrary.

when i held my eldest offspring, and the ones that followed soon,
The stairwells to avernus were as vacant as the moon.
Now i walk beside the tombstones, of those who went before
and I thank those awful absences for deserting this sad shore
for the sure and certain exit, when i come at last to lie
In the still and blessed silence of gehenna when i die.

Random fact, which you may or may not know:
During the period of the "Biedermeier", it became extremely popular to paint sun sets. This was mainly due to the fact that the eruption of the Tambora in 1815 released enormous amounts of ejecta/aerosols, which caused the sun sets in Europe to display vibrant colors of red and orange.
It also created extremely bad weather, like prolonge winter and rainy summers. These rainy storms caused Mary Shelley, who was in Switzerland at the time to stay in doors for a very long time. She wrote the masterpiece "Frankenstein" during her stay there.
TL;DR: A volcanic eruption gave us a lot of paintings of sun sets and Frankenstein

That's true, and we're not opposing that. We're opposing degenerate art, new or old. There are great modern artists who make non-degenerate art, like Robert Batefrom from Canada.
>>67802578
>And as always, we invite people who are in favour of degenerate art to come here and argue their points.
Let me play devil's advocate here and argue thus.
Let us suppose for a moment that art, more specifically representative art, is the fusion of the subjectivity of the artist with the objectivity of the subject being represented. What, if we adopt this model, does the artist create when he paints or create something? Surely, it cannot be the subject matter or the theme, since it is objective and does not depend on him. It must, therefore, be the subjective, that which he himself adds to the subject, his own perspective, which is of value, which truly adds something to the piece of art.
Now, how does the subjectivity, the perspective of an artist, manifests itself? It must be in the form of representation of that which is represented. It is not, in other words, a mater of the subject of the painting but matter of the style.
Suppose now that an artist, realizing this dichotomy, wanted to express not so much something about a certain subject matter but something about form itself? In other words, the artist wants to talk, in painting, about its own subjectivity and the pure form of its craft, independently of any theme or subject?
It would be rather abstract.

Im Nebel
Seltsam, im Nebel zu wandern!
Einsam ist jeder Busch und Stein,
Kein Baum sieht den andern,
Jeder ist allein.
Voll von Freunden war mir die Welt,
Als noch mein Leben licht war;
Nun, da der Nebel fällt,
Ist keiner mehr sichtbar.
Wahrlich, keiner ist weise,
Der nicht das Dunkel kennt,
Das unentrinnbar und leise
Von allen ihn trennt.
Seltsam, Im Nebel zu wandern!
Leben ist Einsamsein.
Kein Mensch kennt den andern,
Jeder ist allein.
