    Wanderer above the sea of fog is such a famous painting it's typically used as a literal textbook example of the romanticist movement. As in it is in children's textbooks. It's as much of a fascist dogwhistle as Michelangelos David is. Kanye is a fascist independent of this

      Context, no? One, it’s not wanderer, it’s a different more obscure work, two, in an art textbook vs on a Hitler Fan’s album cover obv have distinct connotations

        The accusation here is that the painting is one made by the same artist as one popular with nazis (Wanderer above the sea of fog). But that painting is just fucking popular. It's like THE painting for when you need to show Romantic art. The actual context is what I'm pointing out and why the point is silly.
