What was his legacy? Or what will it be?I’ve been thinking about KJG a lot, particularly about what his long lasting impact on art will be. People like DaVinci and Michelangelo will undoubtedly be remembered as long as people are around. I think KJG will be remembered , but not nearly on the same level as these individuals, or even Picasso. His drawings were undoubtedly impressive, especially with so many done off dome, but is that all he will be remembered for? Being the most “imaginative” artist? Being able to produce so much? Is there a particular drawing that will be remembered? His legacy just feels so…incomplete as of now. Not just because his life ended so abruptly, but because people don’t know what more to talk about. Thoughts?
Who the fuck is KJG?
>>7840144Kim Jung Gi
>>7840135Davinci and Michelangelo are remembered because some eurofags decided that it was worth remembering. Basic propaganda that was revised during the unification of Italy>picassoMeme artist. Most of his works were done by assistants, working in nearly factory scale. He just signed or, being generous, worked as an art directorOnly time will tell if KJG will be remembered. It depend on how many artists will keep being inspired by his art and his work ethic in future decades. Today we live in this post truth, AI algorithm driven world, futorology became a useless skill
>>7840135Lived like an insectDied like an insectIt is rough being asian
>>7840208This. KJG will be remembered a bit like how Da Vinci and Michelangelo are; for his so-called “artistic genius” more than for his art. They will probably be a small KJG museum in Seoul where mouth breathing retards will parrot the same shit every few minutes “hurr all from imagination! all from imagination!”.
>>7840248The Mona Lisa and the creation of adam probably the most popular pieces of art to exist. They’re remembered for their genius BECAUSE it was shown in their art
This dude died from the vaxHe was murdered.
>>7840135It's unfair to compare him to artists like DaVinci and Michelangelo. They were the people creating the greatest art during the greatest part of the Renaissance, and they were creating a lot of notable works. The Sistine Chapel was the most iconic gig on the entire planet at the time, and the richest and most influential people in Europe were the ones seeing it. Everyone in the world knows about it today. Compare that to other artists people might know, like Norman Rockwell. He was painting the cover of the Saturday Evening Post for five decades, painting presidential portraits, and his paintings were hung inside the White House. His art was mass-produced and many people were exposed to it. Thomas Kinkade, another one of the most popular artists in the country, was inside of everyone's homes through jigsaw puzzles, posters, and calendars.But how many people know about John Constable? JMW Turner? Edgar Payne? I love painting landscapes and environments, and so those names mean a lot to me, but most people aren't exposed to landscape painting. They may see one and think it's beautiful, but unless it's by an artist who was already notable like Van Gogh or Monet most people don't care about it. It's just trees, mountains, and grass. They have a legacy, but only to a small group of people. Kim Jung Gi will be similar.>what his long-lasting impact on art will beYou'll see a lot of artists say they were inspired by him. A lot of art instructors, especially on YouTube, make videos like "LEARN HOW TO DRAW LIKE KIM JUNG GI!" and "10 drawing exercises to LEVEL UP your visual library" and they'll be showing off his work as an example of what decades of practice can do. There are a lot of people who try to draw like him, very detailed perspective-heavy work with no underdrawing, and it looks like shit. He'll have a lot of imitators. I can only talk about America though, he was a Korean artist and he's got an entire museum over there.
as much as I like him, there aren't any concrete works that come to mind when I think of him.Leonardo has the Mona Lisa, Michelangelo has David but KJG..? I dunno.Bunch of cars, tanks and restaurant chefs, I guess.Plus, I think you only really appreciate his draftsmanship when you draw yourself. Normies don't understand how impressive it is. Especially when they see only the finished product and not the recording of how it was made.
>>7840135TRUTH NUKE: KJG was as artists artist, the only people who will remember him will be other artists until they themselves pass on. He wont have a lasting legacy. The issue is that normies don't find his work impressive because he draws the way normies THINK all art is drawn. When in reality the most impressive thing about him is his process
>>7840274lol no. It’s the other way around
>>7840388You're blind
>>7840325He already does have a lot of imitators. Those people in the videos you mentioned are basically trying to draw like Kim jung go beyond just a technical view. I didn’t know he has a museum. Well deserved, he worked his ass off
>>7840368Normies find his work incredibly impressive lmao. It’s because he doesn’t have a super insane process but can make such detailed works, which is what normies enjoy. He essentially just has a thorough, intense knowledge of perspective
>>7840306This is true and fucked up
Extremely talented and skilled? Yes. But he had no vision, he didn't do any world building or expand on his imagination. His art is just a bunch of tropes and familiar imagery.
>>7840135above all, the thing I was most impressed about with his drawings is how he just draws a line once and leaves it and moves on. I'm constantly CTRLZing and liquefying and it doesn't even feel like I am drawing, but rather coding or building a picture.
>>7840703Time to move to trad buddy
>>7840135A bunch of pretentious ``artists`` that misunderstand what made him good to begin with, not drawing in huge canvases but the joy of doing what you like, that's his legacy
>>7840732I feel like I can draw that way on trad already, but I want to know how to do it on tablet. On tablet its like I'm begging the computer to give me a good line.
>>7840737Someone described him best by saying he’s essentially doodling at a high level, which is a lot of artists aspire to
>>7840739>I feel like I can draw that way on trad already,You can always Add friction and take off the 'undo' shortcutOtherwise work with more challenging mediums, like felt tip or brush and ink directly for a while, If you do it long enough, that fear of messing up will translate towards your tablet (not 100%) drawings. You can also do 15 mins of line exercises on the tablet as a warm up, maybe a page of straight horizontal, another vertical then some ellipses then the plotting of points and connecting them. If all else fails try to fiddle around with some stablizer settings, and try other programs (I hear Krita is very slippery while PS less so and CSP feels more tight while drawing)
Extremely talented and skilled, but he didn't make anything to satiate my weeb fantasies, so I shall dismiss him. humph!
he was too good. success breeds jealousy.
>>7840782>Yoo, KJG here with take 10,000 of a bunch of tattooed naked chicks and a tiger in a bomber jacket floating in an empty void, please enjoy!!
His legacy will be that he was shilled on the internet as a master of perspective and draftsmanship. He was very good at what he did, but his reach and influence was significantly overblown because it was covid, people were stuck at home and getting into hobbies like drawing. Pretty much anybody who blew up during covid became a passing phase if I'm being quite frank.
>>7840208>>7840248>>7840388lol at the cope
>>7841265>muh covid this>muh covid thatHes been getting popular years before covid started. Thats what got him dead. Before covid he started traveled all over the globe doing drawing convention. And he didnt stop when the jabs started being a requirement for airports.Had he took a break for those 3 years, now he could continue doing what he was doing. By the time he would be dead in 20 years or so his legacy would have grow even more. His teaching could have created a positive loop, where what he teached, in 10-20 years would appear in the young artists, which in turn he could have learn himself and develop even further.
>>7840135I say this not to take away from his accomplishment as an artist. But his legacy will be short-lived because he was a performer. His craft was drawing as a live performance. It's not something one can fully appreciated through the fixed art, and it's not something one can experience again because he's gone. It's very lamentable to us, but won't mean much to those after.We still talk about Shakespeare, but we do not talk much about the best Shakepearean actor of his time.
>>7841292covid is what made him popular to normies, it's why he's only spoken of in artist circles now.
>>7840135Forgotten in 50 years tops.
>>7841313>artists are only speaking about him now, after covid made him popular to normiesOk kid. Go and cry in an ai hate thread #8476. You would be just as wrong, but at least you wouldnt be shitting on a real person.
>>7841325I'm not hating on him lol. I'm stating a fact. He is very skilled. His legacy is just not going to be as far reaching as it gave the appearance of during covid.
>>7840208>>7840135They are some of the progenitors of art and actually made completed pieces that inspired people for centuries. Kim jumgee was a professional sketcher that never made anything impressive; he put on a performance like the hibachi chef juggling spatulas but the end result was bland.
>>7841377His videos got over a million views in 2011. You were only 7yo so I don't expect you to have known.
>>7840135Ain't no way a skinny person like this gets a heart attack at 46
>>7840135none. yes he is very skilled but im also extremely skilled at this one obscure tower defense game.his works have 0 social value, some pointless doodles, at best they are ads for some gigacorpoif he is to have a legacy its his students so lets hope he trained them up so when they do something actually valuable it will be good.
>>7841810>skinny personhe had type 2 diabetes. his heart attack was an aortic dissection.
>>7841958*same age and cause of death as yoshifumi kondo. drawing to death.
>>7840135He won't because he contributed nothing to pop culture and no one but artists even know about him. He's not referenced in pop culture. There's no way for the normie masses to know about him.
>>7840135He won't be remembered because he didn't create anything worth remembering. All skill and absolutely nothing to say. Endless walls of pretty noise is his legacy.
>>7840135his childrenbut I know this dude still has amount of work that can still be compiled upt o 2030 Sketchbook. I guess SuperAni can focus on their other artists.
>>7840135>comparing some Chinese motherfucker to Di Vinci, Michelangelo, and PicassoWhat the fuck did this dude really done in his career? Seriously? You're want to know why Di Vinci is remembered, dude was the archiver of anatomy, a general for his kingdom, created blueprints for machines we use today; Michelangelo did allt types of art, a sculptor, a painter, a draftsman, an architect, a diva- some commissioner didnt want to pay some paint for his painting, Michelangelo threw the painting on the floor and was like, "You get what you paid for" and he still got paid full commission. Even Picasso whose a fucking hack, made art that made political and social commentary of the shit that was going around him, acraully changing the way he consumes media, what the fuck did Kim Chalk Sock do that warrants him to be remembered in history, dude looks like a total push over.>let's see, he does le naked women wearing military shit>some old Chinese fucks eating noodles >le wacky Chinese graffiti you see in shitholes in China>using le details to cope out actual subjective substances Chim Bong Fuck hasn't done anything worth shit! Just shoving fingers up his ass with his other Chinese friends hyping him up, he represents the average Asian artists, technically competent but painfully hollow in any meaning or subject, a journeyman! The artists you mentioned had a personality, what the fuck is his? He's just some secluded fuck, "Oh im sorry Chinese emperor, chin chun ching, im sorry emperor of China!" Like fuck you!
>>7844233>pic related
not a single chinese illustrator has the kind of legacy you mean outside of china. probably no korean will outside of korea. only japanese artist are capable of that.
>>7840135>no jews to make money off of his art>legacy>west
kjg is insanely popular among artist circles but i don't think i've seen art consoomers talk about him>>7844233hi /pol/
>>7840208pyw nigger
>>7840208the old masters arent remembered because someone decided it. they are remembered because they are above 99,9999% of even modern artists despite being constrained by their timesthey didnt have colour theory or composition, they didnt have unlimited references on anatomyeven the tools they used were alot worse, and they still managed to create masterpiecesthe same reason we revere people like plato or aristotle, even though every 8th grader knows more about the world than they did, they were the ones who kickstarted the enlightenment
>>7840135His art on their own didn't leave much of an impact on viewers. It was mostly his skills drawing in front of a public
are we really minimizing kjg's work ITT because he was extremely technically skilled, but he wasn't a polymath born during a period where art still had problems to solve?kjg's drawing shows were his business. it was a source of income for him, much the same way da vinci's studio, high ranking patrons, and engineering work brought him income. there is nothing "special" about kjg's work the same way there is nothing "special" about da vinci's gesture exploration sketches or a lot of his flying machine sketches that ultimately had no merit, although some absolutely did, to his credit. a lot of his work on flying machines were rediscoveries of prior art from greece and china, and most of his paintings have unrealistically soft and pillowy renderings with major perspective flaws because perspective was still being formalized and its knowledge being spread in his lifetime. none of these things diminish his accomplishments, but why the hell would it diminish someone else's work in isolation 500 years later? da vinci did fantastic work, especially in the sciences, but is the expectation here that people should hang up art in all capacities unless they also become an engineer? wtf even is this thread>>7841292shut the fuck up. he was diabetic with prior heart disease that was known to him since before covid.>>7844233>a general for his kingdom, created blueprints for machines we use todayyou sound like the type that would be vicariously offended if someone called da vinci gay, who almost certainly was.
>>7845759>are we really minimizing kjg's work ITT because he was extremely technically skilled, but he wasn't a polymath born during a period where art still had problems to solve?No, people are wondering why someone so skilled doesn't have his own Mona Lisa, or David, or Guernica. At least one piece of art that he will be remembered for.
>>7840144>>7840135Samefag, bait thread
>>7849348You’d be surprised at who people on this board don’t know. Had to clarify who Loomis was to somebody one time. So no, that isn’t me lmao
>>7849335Unfair. Nobody has those in the modern age. (Unless you're also a writer)
>>7840135Literally nothing. His art is pretty boring and unimpressive when you take away everything about the process.
He was a coomer. A degenerate. One of us.
He was clearly motivated to learn to draw by his peerversions, like us.
Guy's sketchbooks are a comfort that I'm not a freak, and if I am, at least I'm in good, talented company.
>>7849469difference being this is like 10% of his content and 100% of yours. He was a veteran and married
this image stuck with me. when i heard he died of a heart attack, it immediately appeared in my mind.
>>7849478*full image
The world is a very lonely place for me. I have these same thoughts and feelings and I deal with them in much the same way. I never met him, but his sketchbooks, one especially, make me feel less lonely.
>>7849473No, most of my work isn't coom. But coom is why I had the motivation to learn fine art. Most of my work the last few years is still lifes of flowers and fruit I can sell.I'm more skilled than a lot (not all) of this board. no pyw though, I've never connected coom to myself.
>>7849466Apparently when his kids wanted to draw he'd just hand them his sketchbook and they'd doodle on whatever page was available. Imagine being a kid and seeing your dad's drawing of a pig man fucking a hooker up the ass.
>>7849480He was always weak on his comic panels. It never flowed good or had good readability. It was always confusing to follow his comics.
>>7849499Obvi the pig man is a self portrait, and that's his wife. He's a degen but not that much of a degen
>guy draws star wars fanart and superhero comicsyeah okay i buy he is probably the greatest artist of this pozzed century lol
>>7841810 >Ain't no way a skinny person like this gets a heart attack at 46Unhealthy lifestyle is unhealthy
>>7849717>guy draws star wars fanart and superhero comicsthat's like every fag at superani
