Well I guess he arrived to the stop
>>4513848you're gonna have to give us some context hereis this your image? if not, whose is it?if it's yours, how'd you make it? what was your process?if not, how'd the artist in question do it?if there's more like it, please post more.
I think this is a reference to David Hockney dying. Pop artist and pioneer of Polaroid photography in art. RIP. He experimented with photographic cubism. If /p/ had heroes, Hockney would be one of them.
>>4513851Yup. I saw a big exhibition of his photographs when I was a teen and it blew my mind.
This is how a person actually sees things. We don't see a whole. We see tiny fragments. At first glance Hockney's pictures look almost normal, but the more you look...
Some people might look at this and think this guy lived his whole life without a wider lens. But, this is how they actually see things. They see tiny fragments.
>>4513853>>4513854>>4513855Damn alright David I just thought you were making boring paintings I didn't know you had some real shit going on too. RIP>>4513851I have a hero and his name is eggleston
>>4513855This is absolute kino
yewah i'm thinking based
>>4513856>>4513893Cool stuff but i see things as they are, i am not mentally ill like you guys are

>>4513856Who’s this we? You know most people have good peripheral vision right?>>4513981You have zero theory of mind and a vision disorderThese are cubist, its an art circlejerk thing. He did this on purpose not because he had busted eyes and saw things like this. That’s what makes it art. The conscious decision to participate in some culture (however retarded and ivory towered it is).
>>4513848unc TS is NOT tuff bro
Skrrrt
Hockney is based bruh But I wish his subject were as strong as his style
>>4513855>>4513854>>4513853>>4514039These are cool as fuck. I still hate his boring paintings though.
In my opinion this is similar neurotic nonsense than Cubism>wow bro we see things from multiple angles and I have to capture that and show as one moment in time
>>4514097I've been thinking about your post for a while. I think if his subjects had too much import or gravitas, it would seem inappropriate by such a whimsical style. The appropriateness of his subject and his means of capturing it are matched.Imagine world leaders signing treaties or young rebels fighting a guerilla war. There would be dissonance at a few levels. I agreed with you initially but now I don't: I think his subject matter is fantastic. Makes me want to try this tight cubist style for myself.
>>4516001It’s not about the gravitas of the subject, it’s about the general interest. The story the subject is telling. Take >>4513855What is this man thinking behind the cig? He seems to be joking in some of the face shots but also contemplative in others. It’s a naturally intriguing subject that creates a narrative that is enhanced by the way he presents the subject to us. But a lot of the other photos are just unique collages of snapshits
