>>199122402that's made by a chinese woman, I know the meme
>>199121166This is technically impressive but that’s all it is. It’s not beautiful. For some reason, modern artists confuse beauty for a demonstration of technical ability, being novel, or politically faggy. It’s all an exercise in ego.

this one is for the trap lovers
>>199122770proper lad roight there
>>199122848Yes. Western art, music, and architecture was the greatest to ever exist on this planet. You’d have to be blind, deaf, and dumb to not detect its superiority to all that’s ever existed. It’s surpassed only by the ancients and only in the art of sculpture.

>>199122770>noooo don't leave, the water was a little cold haha
>>199124129she is a curvy lady what else do you want
>>199124005>The term rape originates from the Latin rapere (supine stem raptum), "to snatch, to grab, to carry off".
>>199122402maybe it's just the angle, but the proportions look weird. her neck and head are too big for her body
>>199123913wmaf is beautiful
>>199123189well that is definitely a shapeyupit's a thing
>>199124256I think the main thing is that it lacks a lot of the gesture and meatiness old, good sculptures hadAll the shapes in general are more confused and less elegant, if we compare it for example with the first two images in the threadShe's still a very skilled artist of course
>>199123771looks like shitty anal beads lol
>>199124863
totally not the anti-christ right here
>>199124863But Paul McCarthy is American
We all love art, but who here also MAKES art?I personally love to draw paint (trad and digital)
>>199123871he cute
I'd post paintings and such aswel, but seems this thread is sculptures.>can't post half the pics because they subjects are naked and it'd get me banned
>>199125138I draw concept/illustration, but it's mostly commercial stuff
>>199125138i have a crappy heart so my hands shake uncontrollably but i am a great admirer of art going to various museums is the only reason why i travel
>>199125196Pyw anon, woud love to see it>>199125387That is good. Art is what makes us human and unites us as people. It's a repressentation of the creativity, soul and spirit embedded in us.Sadly there is less love for the arts nowadays. A combination of multiple factors ofcourse. But still.
>>199125437well said
>>199125194>they subjects are naked and it'd get me bannednot even jannies would be this retarded
>>199120949how do you even make this
there is a church in napoli where idk if its the madonna but a full body sculpture with a thin veil, all in marble. anyone know what im thinking of?

>>199125560I believe it's called the Church of A Maronn
>>199125605>>199125618yep thanks alot! probably the most beautiful sculpture ever created
Art can inspire, induce awe, tell a story or moreSometimes all 3 at the same time
>>199125550start with block of marble???work of artin accademia (with >>199125437) they have a few unfinished michelangelo sculptures, those are probably even cooler to see
>>199125723this is what happens when northen europe tries to copy southern europe. bronze statues are easier though
democracy was a mistake
Civilization was a mistake
>>199125786>>199125828why
>>199125865it killed cvltvre
>>199125437it looks out of place here but sure, here's some sketches I did for myself a while backI stopped drawing basically for about 4 months now cause of muh depression though, so I'm massively out of shape drawing wise right now and have lost most of my drive to do anything.
>>199125957Nah man, looks great! I like itLove the futuristic/high tech styleMixed with some organic parts here and there?Would watch/play it. Reminds me of half life and similairAlso the guy in the middle/lower reminds me of solid snake or raiden from mgs
>>199125935trve and factval
>>199125865Any of these sculptures would command respect and admiration even from the most foreign of foreigners, maybe even from an alien species. Meanwhile modern culture is something so hideous that copes had to be invented like "beauty is subjective" and "you have to understand the context to appreciate it".No human ever would say David was a bad, unimpressive work of art, but later upon discovering that Michaelangelo was famous and that David was a biblical king, then they'd change their mind and say they love it.I get that there's some subjectivity and cultural context involved, but modern art is almost indistinguishable from children's drawing to the point that there are quizzes based on this:https://www.sporcle.com/games/bam_thwok/toddler-art-or-modern-art1
>>199126049thanks, I practiced drawing mecha stuff lately since it was always a dream of mine since I was a kid.though I usually humans/animals for work and I'm much more skilled in that regardhere's another mecha sketch, I'll stop since I don't want to flood the thread with this since it's off topic.
>>199126280fuck the thread continue bro
>>199120949Is this Chalepas?
>>199126361Pic rel
>>199126396strazza. beautiful statue tough. for me seeing them made with veils it just sends my brain into overdrive i cant comperhen how the old masters did that
many ancient greek statues were bronze, but not many have survived until modernity as they are easily melted down and the bronze reused. the romans made marble copies of many greek statues which are the only surviving examples of many of them(pic is charioteer of delphi)
When was the last time you saw a monument, a building or any art and it made you awe in it's magnificent beauty?I don't.
>>199126572*I don't remember
>>199126342sure, here's some more random stuff>>199126572I live in Florence so I'd say the Duomo
>>199126472https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yannoulis_Chalepas
>>199126635In America, you rarely have beautiful monuments in cities. The few true monuments we have are natural. The Niagara Falls took my breath away when I first saw it.
>>199126572i live in visby so every time i go to work i pass the old walls. but other then that i agree
>>199126572Well, i work in the center of Athens so there's the acropolis but this school mural actually made me rethink my life.It translates to: "Don't quit your favourite activities".
>>199126804Okay so did you follow what the mural said?
>>199126917To the best of my abilities.
>>199127225afaik they made them small so they wouldnt draw attention to the statue
>>199127225Lol that may or may not be true, but nobody dares say it due to a risk of looking like a guy with a small penis coping.I guess this guy made the ultimate sacrifice (or really has a small penis and is coping).
>>199127262I mean if you're making a statue, I would want people to focus and like the statue in its entirety. If there was a big dick people would just call it "that big dick statue"
>>199127275i am proud of my small pecker thank you very much
>>199120949Just beautiful
>>199120977It's very beautiful and more things should be made but at the time we were slaves with no rights.
>>199127329>bust from the 1850s>we were slaves with no rightsHistorylets be like
>>199127519You learn about hyperbole at a young age.
>>199127225This was a cope.A classist cope on top of that.
> otherworldly> found on Earth
>>199125090evangelicals don't understand art
>>199125935Democracy hasn’t helped but I think technology, money, and the decline of the aristocracy is more responsible to killing culture. Instead of making great sculpture now we dedicate our time to making iPhones and “content”.
>>199125957You’re pretty good. Interesting style. I see Eva and MGS influences.
>>199126572The National Cathedral in Washington, until they covered it in pride flags. >>199126719Washington is architecturally impressive at least. So are Chicago, New York, and a bit of Philadelphia.
>>199121710You gonna get a hard time with that>>199122326Is that supposed to be senusal? I have the same ass cheeks
Yes it is a pretty statue. And?
>>199128047These aren't actually true though. Far-rightists tend to be out of shape, illiterate incels. They think women owe them sex, so women avoid them. They're Very Online, and avoid the outdoors. They shit themselves over most culture since it's degenerate and hate their nations populated by sheeple. If they avoid drinking, it's because they have nobody to drink with. They definitely don't avoid porn, since nobody is fucking them.
>>199122764>ancient greece not even close you retarded plebbitor.Industrial revolution and 20th century was western peak.
>>199129107Damn bro. He was wrong when he said Greece but you said something even dumber. Anyone who actually reads a lot or gets deep into art and music can see that European culture clearly peaked c. 1500-1800. Now if you want to argue a civilization is more than culture then you might have a point but you probably didn’t mean to argue that. The Industrial Revolution was basically a disaster. It’s when European civilization started dismantling itself all for the pursuit of impressive technical feats and money.
>>199128948You are clearly the only one who is chronically online because you have a fucking internet meme caricature in your head.
>>199129164cant really argue it wasnt the peak of absolute power THOUGH
>>199129164no industrial revolution was the time when europeans not only created wonderful art in multiple fields:Painting (Symbolism, realism, romantism, even neo-classical)architecture (neo-gothic and even neo-classical which I detest.)Literature (romantic movement, realism of french and russians)music (again romantic fucking wagner, classical),but also created a foundation of modern sciencegerm theory, thermodynamics, vaccines, non-eucledean geometry and so on and on.they also crated steam engines, cars, telephone, etc.20 century was completely different game, absolute titanic technological progress, people walking on moon and microchips, transistors that enabled entire technological proliferation unseen in all other centuries combined.Even art had revolution, because during 20th century new field in art unheard since antiquity developed such as movies.
>>199128909You could never make that in a million lifetimes so the best you can do is act unimpressed.
>>199122402You just know all the chuds calling it shit saw the meme.
>>199123001The people who know you wish they were blind and deaf to not deal with you.
>>199129213Arguably, right now is the peak. Every country in the world is totally westernized. Arabs wear blue jeans and Japanese eat KFC and put their kids in classical music lessons.
>>199129184The meme of rightoids being freaks and losers with nothing going for them predates the arrival of the internet.You'll never shake the image, since it's rooted in reality.
>>199122430you have to go back to the sewer where you belong: /pol/
>>199128909>chuds: it’s…everything!
>>199121166>wastes superb technical ability on cynical, pretentious work of anti-beautyI do not care, I will not remember this, I wish vague misfortune on this sculptor at the time of viewing his work and I will proceed to never think about him again.This is your "legacy" when you succumb to modern brainworms: nothing.
>>199133054>I am contrarian
>>199133054few will remember because everybody are to busy to worship old masters just because is what drone school taught you like a good bourgeois
>>199133146>saying nice things are nice = contrariantrue>>199133166I would worship that sculptor too if he hadn't tried to be a heckin subversive badass and made something as ugly as possibleas it is I won't even look up his name

>>199127275Or third option, you purposefully raise an uncomfortable topic and boldly and impartially talk about it, fully understanding what assumptions about you this may cause and thus signaling that for you it's not a problem because you don't care to talk about it.
>>199122611It would be more impressive if it were multiple pieces of marble. Apparently none of you ever made soap chains as a kid.
>>199123189There is two kinds of culture.

>>199127262That's the bit I don't get. Just don't make a naked statue then.

>>199126732cool, it has med vibes
>>199126917yes i no longer have psoriasis due to this mural
>>199121058Since they had no porn back then they had to spend months making that shit for a fap
>>199138502they had porn vases
>>199122402Looks like Donald Trump
>>199125090>>199128439>The Resurrection (La Resurrezione) is a bronze and brass sculpture by Pericle Fazzini in the Paul VI Audience Hall in Rome. Intended to capture the anguish of 20th century mankind living under the threat of nuclear war, La Resurrezione depicts Jesus rising from a nuclear crater in the Garden of Gethsemane. Fazzini summarized the action of the statue as "Christ rises from this crater torn open by a nuclear bomb; an atrocious explosion, a vortex of violence and energy."I guess you kekgelicals find equally anti-christlike the representations of Christ's Passion and crucifixion, Him moribund covered in cuts, bruises and suffering greatly to atone for the sins of everyone.
>>199127225TRVKE
>>199133439>>199133452looks mesoamerican inspired but it's pretty coolyank art-deco is definitely underrated
>Yes it is a pretty statue. And?
>>199138385Why would they cover that up
>>199141001i would like to think it was some cope to preserve it (i.e cannot install lights into the original ceiling), but they probably just did it because it somehow saved them money

>>199129107>>199129164>Moving goods on rivers in the UK is the pinnacle of human culturehilarious take, but you have no idea what youre talking about. Culture died about 200 years before that, there wasnt a single school on the planet capable of harnessing genius during the industrial revolution. Ancient greece is the peak, no one non-retarded disagrees. The renaissance didnt even come close, I only included it as a distant second, its essentially a "nice try".
>>199143130>Ancient greece is the peakhow? roman cities were more advanced, especially colonias which were well planned, while greek cities were more rural-ish with just a few outstanding buildings and temples.greeks failed at urbanism tbqh
>>199121058>life affirming, honest expression of physical and spiritual beauty, a body in full splendour and pride>>199121166>ugly, old and wrinkly, weak and impotent, self-doubting display of meekness and timidity, aware that it is long past its primenigga just compare them.Not even joking, the post-modern aversion towards physical beauty is a clear sign of societal decay.
>>199143874just because of the unmatched cultural output. greatness is measured in works produced and all roman periods were anti-culture
>>199144114>Rome was anti-cultureWhat is architecture?Anyway ancient Greece got ruined by s*cratic "philosophy". The pre-socratics were all far wiser. A single poem by Parmenides mogs everything pl*to wrote.
And the actual peak of civilization was the middle to late bronze age but niggas aren't ready for that.
