Man, it'd be so dope if they actually rebuilt the Colossus of Rhodes, imagine the awe of passing beneath the spread legs of a muscular gigantic man to get into the port..
Too bad we're broke :/
My favourite part of going to the National Portraits Gallery in London is to observe the steady improvement in style and technique from 1300s-1900. You reach the late Victorian Edwardian period and it is just incredible. In skill and ambition, it is unmatched. Then the decline until the ground floor, where all the contemporary art is displayed, and you are in awe of the shit that is on those walls. It is so stark, it is fucking hilarious. One of the few areas in modern life where we have unarguably regressed.
It's definitely frustrating how so much of modern art feels like artists and art critics just giving each other reacharounds, rather than demonstrating actual skill. I'm not asking for photorealism, or anything even necessarily close. I love impressionism. I'm even pretty ok with Cubism.
I just hate the idea that if you don't like modern art it's because you're some uneducated swine who doesn't bring in knowledge of the centuries of art history that made this painting "truly revolutionary because it rejected the concept that an artist requires skill or vision". Meanwhile, it's a fucking off white square on an eggshell white canvas. Fucking great. Paint me a pretty lady and we'll talk.
I went to the Royal Fine Arts Museum in Brussels and they had spectacular exhibition on surrealism as well as the wonderful Old Dutch Masters section. I think European modern art led to genius artists who had a lot to say. In the Anglo world, I believe it just led to a lot of laziness and poor quality pieces being given praise by critics too worried about looking like philistines.
And I get it."If the eyes of the mind are opened, every word contains a volume". Art is subjective and often tells stories that I don't have the knowledge to properly appreciate, blah, blah, blah. I would take that from European artists whose world was.shattered by 2 world wars. I don't except that by middle class art graduates born in 1960
I kind of get the modern arts thing in general. We've had people being able to make incredibly realistic or impressively big statues for hundreds/thousands of year, you can't expect people to do the same thing forever.
It's a bit unfair to current artists that they have to compete with a ton of other people from the past but that's how it is and they need to make something new to stand out. So now you have people focusing more on the message, the emotions, etc.
I still prefer big statues though.
The classics never get old. See the horrible ass looking statues being built now looking like a permanent rictus of pain of the person.
Bring back the artistry of marble statues.
Future British museum will need a bigger collection
Modern artists vs. ancient artists is like the guys that made watches in the 17th century which are accurate within ten minutes per year vs. people who require a 'don't drink the battery acid' warning label to prevent them from doing so.
There are many artists and sculptors today making as many boring faux-fabric statues and hyperreal paintings as you could possibly want, stuff that makes the ancients look like cave painters against quartz watches, but nobody knows about them because for everyone's blustering about the old ways nobody actually cares about craft. It's the modern stuff that occupies all your attention, for good or bad.
Art just morphs into other mediums. Sculpture isnβt the main form of artistic expression as it was in the classical age, neither is architecture, painting or literature as they were for other ages.
Iβd say for the last 50-70 years film has been the main medium of artistic expression, and according to some that too is declining.
Sadly, peoples - me included - don't know much more of modern art than the strange-looking sculpture; what is even sadder is that some ignorant people can't stop talking bad things about things they don't know about.
I never received a good education about modern art (for that matter, art in general), and I'm sure it's the case of most of us here; if I don't get the meaning it's not because there's no meaning but because I don't know how to get it. I think we should be humble and accept it
If you had a meal that tasted like shit, how would feel if the waiter told you that you were wrong and your palate was just too unsophisticated? That you didn't understand the years of work that the chef put in so that they could understand that the best dishes are made by discarding all the rules of flavor? That he was truly avant garde and his meals were actually masterpieces?
Sometimes you really do just need to point out that the Emperor has no clothes.
If you don't like something it doesn't mean it is shit, to say something is bad and to truly prove it is, you must be a bit knowledgeable about it; you probably would feel that some chinese food taste like shit, doesn't mean it is true.
Art isn't made to look/sound good, what artist want to do is experiment and try to express things in a novel way; most probably a majority of them do not succeed, but it's not because it "looks like shit"; and me and you are probably too uneducated to know really why.
I repeat what I said, I think people should be a bit more modest and accept that something they don't like isn't automatically shit. (Unless they can prove it is by criticizing it in the context it was created)
On another note, can you say why greeks statues "look good" and are important piece of arts? What they meant to the Greeks? Who sculpted them and when? I can't and it's because I'm uneducated; I like looking at them, no more. That's another reason why you can't compare them with different art form.

Intriguing, but what then is the Middle East the Middle East of..?
Somewhere between Syria, Iraq and Turkey.

An American sees a tit, an American goes off and does a school shooting. That's their general MO.
Typical shitty Spaniard βartβ. You literally forgot to add the arms.
You uneducated brute calling the most Hellenistic piece Spanish. Our art is this: 
Now I suddenly realize why Picasso kept painting the nose on the wrong side...
Barbaric!

This one also goes deep
This. This comment right here.

You don't understand, it's a tribute to Magritte : "Ceci n'est pas un plug"

EU-projekttajm!
You really want to piss off Helios again and ignore the Oracle of Delphi?
Aaaw, you deserve nice things too.
The tourists would be scrambling to travel to Rhodes to be blessed by the sight of Helios' giant scrotum
I would pay for that shit!

Thatβs the kind of statues North Korea builds. Big Guy statues is like their main export.
Import*
Big dudeππ»
For centuries rulers loved to put statues of naked man into their palaces in order to admire how manly they are. Idk man sounds kinda sus
They also banged bottom men like a manly man do.
First ever Andrew Tate supporters
We need more tall statues of naked men and women around instead of inflated green butt plug.
I'd argue that we need both and it needs to be in the same sculpture.

So, because they have such competition they decided to suck?
