    Uhm epSCUSE me, it is actually Very Important to have Good Art as it can only be produced and appreciated by superior* (*western, male) beings such as myself, see below for an important example

      That is legit a great sculpture too. Cloth is extremely difficult to sculpt.

        It's technically very impressive, and the artist is obviously very skilled, but I don't think it's good in terms of being interesting art

          Anyone know who the artist is? I'm curious what else she's done.

          I can see where you're coming from. How everything is flowing, the fabric and the hair, is interesting to me though. But I'm biased, I used to sculpt. So maybe the skill on display is all I need. I wonder if she's done anything that might be more interesting in a different way.

              Yeah looks like you're right.
              She found her niche, that's for sure. All "woman in flowing lace in bronze". Which is cool. I always wanted to do a bronze sculpture. I have no talent compared to Luo Li Rong though.

              This one is cool. What do you think?

                About the same as the other one. There's no doubt she's good as hell at what she does, but it isn't really for me. Probably id appreciate it on a technical level more if I had the experience you have

                  There's an artist I have to show you guys. Idk if anyone will like his stuff, but it's definitely interesting. I can't think of his name right now, but I'll try to tag you when I do.

              That's a perfectly reasonable opinion but realism as a movement is defined by which part of reality the artist chooses to depict and that's where the artistic expression comes in.

              realism is in art history the begining of the modern art movement and rejected traditional ideas about what could be depicted in art.

                There is basically nothing interesting in terms of content about this, it's just horny with bordering-on-cartoonish anatomy and good cloth and hair. It doesn't express anything except objectification laundered through technical ability and detail.

      also I don't understand why I would have to fight or die for that statue. Maybe I'm an idiot here but if you want more sculptures how about instead of killing people make statues

        Ah, but you see, if the Asiatic Hordes Judeo-Bolsheviks Cultural Marxists win, there will be no one superior* (*western, male) left to build such statues! up-yours-woke-moralists

    It's amazing that Jordan Peterson delivered his most based material inside a fucking university.

    And now that he has infinite wealth he can only deliver platitudes.

    I have to stop, this could go on forever

      It's amazing that Jordan Peterson seemed slightly more normal when surrounded by peers and held to some level of accountability (not much)

      Oh but now that he's much more wealthy and unaccountable to anyone suddenly his life falls apart. Weird

    this feels fascist

    this is basically the nazi obsession with removed art (the fact it was removed implies worse words than what I actually said)

      If "Hints at Forgotten Values" and "Believes in, and tries to produce, beauty" weren't enough then "Good art is man's divine right and terrible duty" should remove all doubt. Its most definitely Fasch.

      It sucks that perspective, color theory, light logic, and anatomy don't exist anymore. I wish it took even less than a single google search to find art tutorials, artists with open commissions, and professional artists posting their work on instagram. This is coming from the same jokesters who deride people for studying art for their occupation. This is a funny one because it doesn't even feel like they're saying poor or queer people shouldn't exist, this is just them being uninformed hypocrites straight up.

      Edit: Noticing that Fun with a Pencil (Pain with a Pencil), came out in 1939. Loomis' work has been wildly influential on how people do figure drawing/portrait drawing but somehow standards were decreasing and continued to decrease despite his influence in the realm of "art"

    makes you feel weird

    Waaah, all art must exist as shallow, uplifting slop!

    mocks the concept of values

    How dare an artist endeavour to make something that questions my values!
