Pic related is the best /trad/ fags can do. What is even the point of spending years on learning to draw and handle paint if the end result is such a bland result?You can see the rest of the winners (all of them just as uninspired) in here: https://www.artrenewal.org/17th-arc-salon#/introduction
>>7437307Even trad painters have to virtue signal.
>>7437307>nubile brown girl with exposed nipplesdaddy likes
>>7437307Outsider art is the only place to be right now, the industry is a shitshow and the art world even more so
goddamn you fuckers are pathetic, please die so your organs can be given to someone who needs them
>>7437326>nubile brown girl with exposed nipplesFucking lol. I remember the last thread where we discussed this ARC shitshow (thread from one or two months ago, there's the russian guy accusing everyone of nihilism), somebody in that thread said there was a pedo among the jurors because it was always young kids in semi-erotic poses that won first prizes. I'm starting to believe you, man.
>>7437335I'm not a donor
>>7437307painting black people gets you so many awards
>>7437371This won first place in the portrait category
>>7437344trad and based
why are amerimutts so obsessed with nubians?
This one is probably not even traced from ai but just printed out. Americas """""""""culture"""""""" is a joke.
Best landscape, fuck my ass
>>7437307They should ban drawings or depictions of Africans or African-adjacent subjects, because the self-hating white judges and white-hating black judges give Afro-centric pieces infinity points and we rarely get a fair competition.
>>7438001That eyebrow...I think you're right.
>>7438005counterpoint black girls are hot as fuck; but you're never supposed to represent them sexually thats the fucking problem with visual arts around black women. in art black women are all mammy earth goddess bullshit. if you ever portray a black girl as a slut in ur art youll be crucified by these weirdos
>>7438005true, look at the one who posted a drig addict to you dog.Westoids are ruined
>>7437377no it didn't you lying cunt
>>7437307I am not sure if I like ARC.The works are impressive but the idea of doing a competition like this, as if taste and appreciation of painting can be decided upon by a jury, is just blasphemous.And looking through the entries, a lot of them are just bullshit stories with an artwork that suffers from too much rendering and doesn't show any kind of creative spirit.Anyway, the painting is well made but doesn't really grip me, and the story behind it just feels like filler. It is fitting that it wins a competition from an organization like ARC.
>>7438124>black girls are hot as fuckYour point might have some more merit if you didn't post an octoroon, that girl is "hot" because there are a bunch of European genes heard carrying.
>>7438215competitions like that have been going on for hundreds of years, dumbass, did you never hear of the salon?
>>7438220I know all about it.
>>7438216You could say the same for why Italian men are always rated most attractive, but they’re still “white men” by majority opinion. Italian men are also historically stripped of eroticism in art, and Italian men are widely lascivious weirdos
>>7438224That's a retarded comparison, wtf are you smoking? So I can't discount "black girl magic" because the "black" girls you keep dredging up get all their desirable features from European miscegenation, because Italians exist? Christ on a fuckin cracker, sober up you simp
>>7438224
>>7438215>oh no i dont like competition, taste is not real, nothing is real>nothing means anything, everyone is the same, everyone has the same worth>everyone should get a participation medal and then we will build communism all togetherYou cant imagine how much i despise modernist assholes like you and how much i hate the nihilistic """art""" people like you produce
>>7438001I thought you were trolling but that actually is a submission. Holy shitI like this one though. The artist ist japanese
>>7438246imagine fucking her into the carpet while gazing at the tapestry
>>7438246>In 2012, his painting titled Maya was estimated to bring £3-5,000 and sold for over £52,000 ($82,000); then in 2016 Adelaide hit the market with a £7-10,000 estimate and brought a record £80,500 ($106,000). As a result, he has been able to move to Kyoto where he notes that “there are many historical cultural assets and delicious food.”Holy shit.
>>7438260sounds nice before you realize the guy was born in '59 and pursued art since he was a kid
>>7438246>I like this one though.What do you like about it? I don't see much more then technical masturbation in this one.The hole thing is extremely busy, there is no hierarchy for color or design. If at least the chair would be without this ugly ai-artifacts. You would have a calm middle without unnecessary details.Its a painting of a man who has nothing to say to the world.I render cunny, i render cloths, i render wood, i render carpets... no mater what, i just render everything as much details as i can.Blank mind, just an npc painting something for 300h. He could as well play world of warcraft or watching porn in this time.Pure nihilism.
Imagine someone would enter the competition with something like this.
>>7438301Or this.
>>7438301Or this
>>7438317I mean, this one got second place.
>>7438317Okay well how about you make something like that and enter it
>>7438349I will, I have been studying Brueghel for a while but it's intimidating, there's a complexity in his work that I don't grasp let alone be able to emulate.
I love how modern realists are basically just nigger photocopiers. No offense, but they literally move heaven and earth to scoop up only black models and worship them. Without black models modern realists would have zero inspiration. They need to learn the hardest forms of art as humanely possible to properly depict blacks as the transcendental gods they are.Also why are all the works 12 inches by 12 inches.
>>7438391They don’t have black models though. These are white liberals using photo reference of black people in nigger spearchucking situations. This isn’t Winslow Homer painting former slaves in the Jim Crow South or Alice Neel painting her actual black neighbors in person in Harlem. This is 1% Cherokee pale white Jew funded institutional artists basically painting racist caricatures of places they’ve never been and people they’re never around. It’s just Orientalism. It’s gay and not based. Either move to Tahiti and fuck/paint brown bitches all day or stfu and stop projecting, in my opinion.
>>7438445>It's just OrientalismSave for the fact that it isn't even aesthetically pleasing.
>>7438364>I have been studying Brueghel for a whileShow me.
>>7438391>Also why are all the works 12 inches by 12 inches.literally only 4 top 3 entries across all categories, why are you a faggot
>>7438446Right? If you’re going to do weird costume scenes of black ppl at least have them smoking opium with a big fuzzy red hat. Society is doomed
>>7438448Check their collection for the upcoming 2026 Sothebys gallery, it's all works 12x12 inches.
>>7438391>photocopiersThe main winner dont even try to not look like a traced national geography photo from the 90s.>>7438445>It’s just Orientalism.But even that old masters did better.
>>7438457>But even that old masters did better.
>>7438460
vgh, ye olde masters wouldn't stand for this niggerism
>>7438465Amazing that the 2025 perception of blacks somehow looks primitive compared to paintings that are centuries old. Yakub save us
And when its decent, its in a style ripped from a famous painter.I mean come on, i understand you liked Alla Prime 2 but didnt supposed to copy Schmid 1 to 1.
>>7438465To be fair when the old masters painted blacks they didn't paint them so tackily, or with such blatant fetishism as modern realists.
>>7438001>ARC purchase awardthis is a nepo baby
>>7438472Their continent hadn’t been hurled back to the Stone Age by Chosen People technocrats yet
I would say this is the least cringe entry by far. Traditional vanitas sujet and a quite good technique, even though it dos not look like completely, 100% authentic golden ages dutch technique.
>>7438479>back to the Stone AgeImplying the shit that's hanging in modern museums isn't worse, then what stone age Chads on shrooms were doing.
>>7438472you sure about that?
>>7438290ngmi
>>7438483>1797>old masterErm chvdley...
>>7438465and who was that nigger?
>>7438509A islamic cuck
>>7438194you must be stupid>>7438246the composition here is so lame. Busy wall, busy carpet, busy chair, completely static sitting pose, emotionless portrait full frontal.
>>7438500>ngmiNice argument, retard.
>>7438457i saw some of these big turban carpet cobra market paintings irl, they are pretty cool
>>7438504so now ingres and delacroix aren't old masters?
>>7438658Well you could call them old masters but it usually doesn't apply to them.The term loosely refers to masters that were active and a master painter before 1800 but through it's usage has become a bit of a fuzzy term. It made maybe more sense in the past when "master" meant something with the existence of guilds and painting workshops and student-master way of teaching.Best not to be too anal about what old painter is or isn't an old masters. Many people know the term but don't know any of the technicalities. So in this case I would describe Delacroix and Ingres as Old Masters.
>>7438562>the composition here is so lame. Busy wall, busy carpet, busy chair, completely static sitting pose, emotionless portrait full frontal.You should see the other shit that jap does. This one is quite subdued and "simple" in comparison with the other shit he usually paints. You can't say that the guy is a "hack" or a "joke" because he puts in the work in tit, but still, he managed to become some sort of a meme of himself. Typical white dick-sucking jap going beyond cringe impossible heights to idealize white european culture.
>>7438666>before 1800so like 1797, before delacroix was born
>>7438666Yup, it’s an important colloquial conversation though because it often tricks students into a life of revolving door art classes. When you see every “New Master” teacher say the “Old Masters, such as Sargent and Bougereau” it not only loses the essential meaning of Master, it even muddies the idea of Old. Even at the time, what Booger did was seen as archaic, and a pastiche of older styles that were once original. He’s Pre-Raphaelite at best, but a Disney ride at worst, and recent enough that people alive today had parents who had heard of him. Old Masters ran guilds, Old Masters have long since turned to dust. Sargents body is still fresh, his legacy unclear, his “Mastery” still scrutinized, but he’s marketable to dumb students the same way you could show a junkie art student a Warhol and they’d find a way to agree that it’s good art
>>7438669What is he even trying to do. There is an ungodly amount of fucker in the art world, who deserves hate much more then him. But what is he trying to do?Is he working from life?Why are the shelves full of stuff?He could at least make the still life more interesting, maybe telling a story through the items, otherwise is just modernistic nonsense.
>>7438246One can do so much more, with so much less, like pic related.>>7438678Old Master is not a very precise therm. If you want to be exact, you can name the time or the movement.
>>7438678Shut up Brian
>>7438678But we're not talking about Boogaloo and Sergeant, we're talking about 18th century painters.
