I legit don't get 20th-21st century art history. When exactly or who exactly was the catalyst that transformed art from something that combine philosophy, introspection, creativity, effort & refinement as well as presentation...turn into such lazy, psuedointellectual, politically weaponized shit? That champions something like pic related drawn by an illiterate haitian junkie that larped as a intellectual whose message was literally just basic >whitey bad! Capitalism bad!And insisted himself and be insisted by others to be included in sophisticated art circles and be considered a genius.Like its all going good throughout history, there was consistency in that they took great time and effort and much creative thought.Even the early 20th century modernists while sometimes grotesque and degenerate, still took a great amount of talent and hard work. Like Dada, Cubism, surrealism, abstract art AT LEAST REQUIRED YOU TO KNOW HOW TO DRAW A STRAIGHT LINE AND KNEW HOW TO USE YOUR COLORS.But then BAM suddenly it goes off the rails into this stupid shit in the mid 20th century. Was it that fucker Warhol? Did all the destroyed art and dead artists after ww2 just let a bunch of opportunistic businessmen takeover and convince high society that a can of soup or the use paint drop cloth of a painting class full of parkinsons patients, was suddenly worth millions?How does something like painting which is as old as humanity itself just degrade that quickly into such retardedness?

>>187654531.) Photography was invented, which reduced the documentary role of realist artwork2.) Photography also killed the suspension of disbelief associated with Romanticism 3.) Romanticist Artwork became seen as unchallenging and plebeian by the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Think the art equivalent of Marvel SlopOnce photography got off the ground and people got sick of Romanticist slop, it forced artists to explore more abstract subject, reducing art down to form and tonality, which gave way to Impressionism and later Expressionism The generic Romanticist landscapes you retards goon over never went away, but people simply stopped caring about them outside of Hallmark Greeting Cards. Mouthbreathing retards who are only performatively appreciate visual media like OP are then shitting themselves over pieces that aren't just generic landscapes, because to them it's not actually about art, they latch onto Romanticism because it's an identity marker for their broader trad politics. Congrats on having the same opinions as degenerate fat drunk Podcasters OP.
>>18765453>Even the early 20th century modernists>Like Dada, Cubism, surrealismstopmodern art was creared by CIA as an answer to soviet art. it's well-documentedit's literally the first slop and because it wasn't censored by the state, it served to prove that the USA was "the land of the free"
>>18765814The CIA didn't create modern art, they promoted modern art. People like Jackson Pollock were going to make abstract expressionist works whether the CIA was involved or not. All the CIA did was showcase his work to European art snobs, it was to make America look cultured to an otherwise snobbish European audience.
>>18765814The CIA didn't even exist during the interwar period you idjit.The Soviets had their own modernist movements with Russian Futurism.>>18765762>hating postmodernist slop means you like romantist slop
