This video made me realize the modern art is nothing but pseudo intellectual nihilistic bullshit.
ОтветитьA child paints for pleasure.
ОтветитьHi just wondering what the value of time is as you mention it so often. Years doing something in itself isn’t worthwhile. But as you said, the journey is. Burning ambition or obsession, or singlemindedness in themselves aren’t worthwhile but are signifiers of something. It’s too complex. But you were right about that series of paintings you showed. Guess you have to know art and artists to appreciate them. See things thru glasses of knowledge.
ОтветитьPick Ass O
ОтветитьAll I needed to know about the end of that era I learned from Edward Hopper. Anyway, genres are something critics invent after the fact. Back here on earth I feel like art and music should be a form of expression for everyone. Sad that it all became a spectator sport.
ОтветитьProduct is measured not by the effort put in it but by the value it provides. This is why modern art is inferior and Picasso is wrong with this quote, it doesn't matter how long it, what matters is that modern art does not inspire awe which is the ultimate function of art.
ОтветитьI'll explain it with one word: jews.
ОтветитьI mostly take that quote as a symptom of Picasso’s outsized ego. No, he could not draw like Raphael. His traditional skills are always overblown because academic standards had already declined by the time his career unfolded. However he really, really good at being Picasso.
The humble version of this quote comes from Paul Klee: “people say that I draw like a child. I wish they were right”.
The challenge is "How to paint like with the understanding of an adult.'
ОтветитьDali - "I believe that the moment is near when, by a procedure of an active paranoiac thought, it will be possible to systematize confusion and contribute to the total discrediting of the world of reality."
These people are actually evil, and have evil intentions. Their work is ugly for the sake of ugliness. It spits in the face of human achievement, and holds aloft its downfall as its savior. Modern artists are the scum of the earth, and calling them artists at all is a contradiction.
So, in other words, modern art is inherently selfish and it exists to please the artist himself as he goes about doing whatever he feels like doing, destroying any potential concept of true and universal art in the process.
ОтветитьThere's another "napkin quote" of Picasso that makes me laugh... Picasso was eating in a restaurant... after he had finished to eat, he asked for the bill... and the owner of the restaurant told him : Mr Picasso, I offer you the meal if you accept to sign the drawing that you have made on the napkin"... Picasso looked at him and answered : "No, I let it unsigned, I'm paying for the meal, I'm not buying the restaurant !" 😀
ОтветитьWonderful, as always ☀
ОтветитьAs I have not read all of the comments I may be repeating, but I hear Picasso saying one must find a child's mind, as in the Zen reference of "a beginners mind": Open, free, with no sense of convention, of rules, of expectations. A free flowing of expression from within because a blue horse with five legs just felt completely right in the moment. My goal in my art is to find Authenticity. But damned if all those years of rules and expectations are not always breathing down my neck.
ОтветитьModern art sucks.
ОтветитьTo be blunt, I believe that Picasso lied, denigrating classical art because his attempts at it were sub-par. He knew that he would not gain world notoriety with his good, but not great raw skill, and could hide his flaws under the cloak of “Abstract” and “Modern”.
Classic case of “I can do that too, I just don’t want to right now.”
And “You just can’t see it, because YOU’RE not a artistically sophisticated as US.”
yea cool, but still doesn't make sense
ОтветитьThis suggests that anyone who criticizes 'modern art' can be compared to the Nazis - that is appalling. The reason this type of art is criticized is because (like a cult) it puts itself above criticism. The fact that there is no level of technical merit by which to judge it by actually does make it a fact that 'anyone could do it' and call it a masterpiece, and there is no way to dispute that claim, there being no way to judge it. At no time in his life did Picasso reach the technical level of Raphael, though he did mostly representational art, much of it very creative - and because Picasso says something doesn't make it a fact. Also, to compare Cy Twombly's scribbles with the great works shows how much of this modern art cult's snake oil you have been spoonfed and consumed.
ОтветитьI'll explain modern art n two words.......MONEY LAUNDERING.
Ответитьhi, sorry to bother... i'd like to use this quote for a school project but i can't find the source... when did picasso say this, or where did he write it? could you help me?
ОтветитьI wouldn't recommend painting like a child. I would recommend striving to be unique, but creating art that holds no meaning, tells no story, or expresses no wisdom, plot, or meaningful message is a failed artwork. This is what separates the Jackson Pollocks from the Leonardo Da Vincis'. This is what is killing the art industry, and in my opinion, I prefer someone attempting renaissance over a nonobjective, this even coming from somebody who paints in an abstract cubist and expressionist style myself.
ОтветитьPeople put too much emphasis on style.
ОтветитьLove this video 🥰
ОтветитьModern art was coopted by the CIA to fight communism. And launder money. That explains a lot.
ОтветитьWhat do you think about sketchbooks? As of December 2020 I've been using my sketchbooks constantly. I'm currently on my tenth and they've gotten me through a lot, though the worst year of my life and the uncertainty of healing after years of depression and worse. I consider them my best art. The "paint like a child" quote is possibly the only reason I have so many sketchbooks and definetly a reason I'm still around today. In my first sketchbook I did a detailed study of a statuette which my grandparents own, it was only a month later that I created page two. I had wanted to draw detailed careful studies on every page, but the moment I gave up on that and just drew whatever was on my mind, I actually improved faster and better. I think it could be interesting to see a video on sketchbooks and their importance to an artist and whether or not a scribble could be considered art when it was done to try to understand the world. I'm not great at expressing these thoughts, but it could make for an interesting video!
ОтветитьCan you give me a problem were their is no.solution as yet for modern art
ОтветитьI'm an abstract painter 🎨. I cross over to other styles, experiment in design texture colors etc. None of my work is finished, j just move in to another piece. Most of the time I'm disappointed in what I created but then I think ,wait a minute at least I did create something. I started painting at 24 I am now 62. The best I can say about my evolution is that the individual piece you look at was the best I could do at the moment of creation. If its bad or ugly, so be it, I was am true to creating something into our world...
ОтветитьI can explain it in one word...... Shit
ОтветитьThe quote also is a play off of Van Gogh, I believe, who said, it took him a lifetime to be able to paint a masterpiece in a few hours.
ОтветитьNo one cd paint exactly like Raphael, but other great painters could paint with their own skills. Modern art is about the myth that skilllessness is somehow greater than skill- putting aside vision.
There's a reason why a third or more of Pollocks and Ab Ex paintings are thought to be fakes, because they are, and are much easier to pass off than, say a Vermeer or Wyeth. It's why every so often we see Pint Sized Picasso child painters, nut mever a Little Bierstadt nor Diminutive Dali. Why? Because repetition does not improve natal talent. Yes, I may be able to go from a terrible singer to a bad one, but I'll never be the tenor at the Met.
It is a fundamental lie to claim anyone could be a Raphael , and it is done to advance the notion that all people are similar in talents, which denigrates the great artists out there.Nobody would have ever written Moby-Dick w/o Melville.
And no one but Dali could be Dali, in life or art.
But we are flooded with Pollocks and that ilk precisely because it is easy to reproduce, and the Picasso quote is one of the reasons painting has been thru such a fallow period. Fortunately, as the Ab Exers die off, their time in the sun is being seen for what it was- a waste.
"Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist" - Picasso
ОтветитьGreat video, and in most of it I totally agree. But this whole narrative sounds like painting academic is something bad… When somebody without any form of art education draws whatever he wants is “pure art”, and when somebody try academic or classical art is “eehh, boring, everybody can do that in four years”. I like abstract art, simple art, pure art, but not the way of rejecting classical or academic art.
ОтветитьDali also equated his signature with a work of art before charging for it. Never heard that story about Picasso though before now. Isn't virtuosity, knowing when to break the rules? It seems difficult to separate Picasso from the era he lived in. Before, painting like a child would never have been accepted. He came when the world was ready and expressed it's values.
ОтветитьYou Americans, you'd explain a simple joke and ruin it and the bored listener.
Picasso liked American money, not Americans.
Yes that is amazing but i still like raphael
Ответить4 more years!!!
ОтветитьI would argue most people, even artists and academics, in general, fundamentally misunderstand "art". And are misled by personal or subjective views. Further aggravated by the use of various terms, words and ideas thrown around without comprehension of how they actually apply to "art" or a creative process.
ОтветитьThanks for your video! Kind regards from Ásgeir in Iceland, who owns a few books about Picasso´s life.
ОтветитьAlways so much for me to think about in your videos.
Ответитьit will take you some years to perfect the elements of real-world representation, but to find your own way, to have true ownership over your creation, now that's a journey that will take you a lifetime.
ОтветитьI don't agree, modern art is the personality of the artist, dosent take skill it need an idea, anybody can take a blue canvas scribble whit red trow some line whit some darker red whit the word purity or virginity and call it modern art. Academic art perosnaly think is the best era of art ,yea a little more creative liberty cold helpt but shows more raw emotions then fucking modern
ОтветитьWhat is of great importance, in my opinion, is honesty in artistic approach when developing a unique way of creating art. If someone's art is characterized by "my child could do that" that does seems brutal, especially if we don't pay attention to whole body of work of a certain artist.
But, what cannot be denied is that, especially today, we have people who produce such pieces that only resemble to something that could go "shoulder to shoulder" with "40 years in making child art". I believe, reason for this is, at least partially, influence of, and desire to instantly be as these great artists in history with such specific styles. And then, when mentioning memes, we have people in art galleries looking at fire extinguishers among 10 or so abstract paintings, which are all of work of some artist, being amazed.
In short, honesty is important. And that also means that, even someone invested years of creating, not everyone can be Picasso. Today, a lot of products are presented as art.
That's my favourite quote when I teach Art at Middle school, assorted with the story of how Pablo Picasso's father gave up painting.
Oh and there's that other quote I like, about Picasso drawing on a napkin to pay his meal at a restaurant. The waiter remarks that he didn't sign, and Picasso is said to reply "I just want to pay for my meal, not to buy your restaurant".
I'd like so much this quote to be true! But you never know with those bragging Spaniards :D
this is a really nice channel! :)
ОтветитьAmazing video with insightful interpretation, thank you!!
Ответитьi’m so grateful to have found this channel- i was looking for quality video essays on art history and i never quite found a channel that had the voice and vision that this one has. thank you for making these videos!
ОтветитьI really like your channel and the quality of your presentations. Even though we have radical differences in our view of art, especially in the context with what we call "modern art". Thanks for sharing.
ОтветитьAlright, alright i get what abstract art is now. You can invent your own way of expressing yourself. I just think this sort of art is worthless. It is ugly, unappealing just very random. Broadway boogie woogie has to be on my top ten list of the most ugly painting i've ever seen. I'm honestly trying to convince myself even to see it in other ways than my own and i always come back to hating this stuff. I just think this stuff is created by lazy talentless painters who ran out of ideas. What is easy is to scribble random drug induced visions onto a canvas than to think long and hard with a sober mind about what you're gonna paint. I'm sorry, i think thats just it. Abstract painters are lazy drug addict's. picaso was a known heavy drug user, he had no time to even think about making real paintings. the guy probably didnt even wash himself.
