Went to an art museum recently and they had a whole room of a particular artist's "curvy women lying around nude" phase. Would recommend.
paintings are great and all but statues are better for this sort of thing imo
Picasso could easily smoke the guy on the left in the term of realism.
Fun fact: Plenty of "modern" artist can do "classical" art just fine, it's that they choose not to.
Yeah, Picasso could paint like that at 16.

Truly ahead of his time
Pretty sure there’s nowhere in the world a painting from 1897, where the artist died in 1973, would be under legal protection but another user hooked you up.
As a bonus, a lovely realistic painting from the year before which should be open:

Which makes sense, Raphael had to pioneer techniques which Picasso could use, but Picasso had to make new techniques to make the stuff he wanted.
Edit: this is the fourth time autocorrect has made what i say sound bad.. i don't think Picasso made "jew techniques"
The hilarious thing is that both Picasso and Godward are common in galleries, he's not some fucking obscure genius, he's a well-known, respected but conservative painter of the time. He's just not fucking Picasso.
Art is when you make something as realistic as possible and the more realer it is the artyer it is.
Creativity? Subjectivity? Expression of the inner soul? Trying something new? What's that?
Oh, for sure. Realistic art is cool, it's just not all there is.
“Art is not a mirror held up to reality but a hammer with which to shape it.”

Islam is right to ban realistic images of living creatures. Islamic art is mathematical beauty .
land of gimmicky “photorealistic” sketches
And 80% of them without exaggeration are just Waltuh Breaking Bad :jesse-wtf:

We need to sterilize humankind's creativity to maintain our decrepit reactionary culture
i'm not even a Picasso stan but the immense anti-intellectual cope here is rich. they're obsessed with the construction of a canon of Objectively Beautiful Works but they can't accept that the defenders and creators of the canon, the people who have actually devoted their entire lives to the creation, criticism, and study of art, don't share their subjective but strongly felt opinions about what ideas should be totally excluded without any consideration.
because JWG was soooo classical that's why his art would be out of place in any gallery with pieces before 1870
jfc these people literally stan art & artists while knowing nothing about them the subjects of a lot of godward's art are classical, but the composition & craft are anything but. MF find me an 18th century painter with that advanced a grasp on detail & dedication to backgrounds. find me the conservatives who were championing his breed of orientalist erotic shit & not heralding it as the end of western civilisation. and then find me anyone before the 1870s who could create 'classical' paintings with a firmer grasp on the clothing and fashions of the ancient world than 'vibes'. fucking hell look at a David and compare it to late 19th century shit dudes were literally painting opera costumes as historical fact
He is literally the opposite of everything both the Pre-Raphelites and the Impressionists/Post-Impressionists stand for.
It will be Picasso. Not because he was objectively 'better' but because he was objectively 'new' and from that style dirived a thousand copycats, each trying to express themselves the same way. I've always had a penchant for Futurism myself, it's a shame most of them were fucking fascists, but I've always thought socialist futurism would be an interesting historical genre if it existed.
Do you think it might be the most famous artist in human history who isn't named Da Vinci? Or the guy I've never heard of?
Art folks - you know it when you see it.
Aesthetics is a real thing: can this object speak to some subconscious understanding and resonate with a voice of truth. Technical skill may help approach that point, but I'm fully of the opinion that artistic expression is a gift bestowed on a select few. I always thought of myself as a artist until a true genius came to my community. Their work made me realize I was an amateur, and even if I studied for years I could never approach their expression. It threw me into an existential crisis, but made me realize that pursuit of expression and self-actualization is in itself rewarding. Coming to grips with my own limitations allowed me to more fully enjoy my expressive creativity.
Your average conservative coomer needs legibly drawn and highly detailed paintings of le traditional woman that he can beat off to
