get ready with me, moids!(this painting is from 117 years ago btw)
>>84500552women have eternally been fascinated by shiny baubles and meandering about for their entire day, accomplishing nothing worthwhile, not even the pursuit of a fulfilling hobby. Always slaves to their own self obsession, even when the realm of vanity spites them for their unremarkable features. I wish women were real people.
>>84500552>(this painting is from 117 years ago btw)It's wild how contemporary it looks from a cursory glance. Other than the candlesticks, hair pins, and perfume bottles, it looks like it could have been a shot from any fashion magazine
>>84500616The face is very modern looking, not typical to the art of the era. My cousin looks a lot like her.
>>84500552fembots have been doing the same shit for 100+ years
>>84500552Serebriakova really has some interesting art.
>>84500616It's because she is in her underwear
it's because the weather stops at a certain point so i'm led to believe it's something more
>>84500616and she's doing le Dreamworks smugface
>>84500552why did you point out that painting is from 117 years ago?do you feel like it's very contemporary?
>>84500552cool painting
>>84500585It was evolved into them over (literally) millions of years, just as much as your eyes evolved to spot moving gazelles out of the corner of your vision. Learn to accept our differences instead of being a bitter waste of space.
>>84500616zinaida serebriakova has an excellent ability to make her faces feel alive and playful. shes like a nondepressed version of the expressionists or symbolists that dominated the art scene in the 30 or so years prior to the 1909 self portrait in op.>>84501133that is typically why people say things
>>84500654in 1909? portraiture wasnt as formal as you are treating it by then. this is the artist herself. gerda wegener and tamara de lempicka would have been contemporaries and their art has similar facial styles. nell brinkley too if you include illustrators.
>>84500585>The mirror was often used as a symbol of the vanity of woman. The moralizing, however, was mostly hypocritical.>You painted a naked woman because you enjoyed looking at her, you put a mirror in her hand and you called the painting "Vanity", thus morally condemning the woman whose nakedness you had depicted for your own pleasure.
clowngirls then, full of personality, wit and charm, light on their feet, always dancing, bringing a cheer
clowngirls NOW, obnoxious, cringe, outrageous, always bring trouble, always high and wanting more, spiralling BPD crashouts
>>84500585>This world taught woman nothing skillful and then said her work was valueless. It permitted her no opinions and said she did not know how to think. It forbade her to speak in public and said the sex had no orators. - Carrie Chapman Catt>It is not that women are really smaller-minded, weaker-minded... but that whosoever, man or woman, lives always in a small, dark place, is always guarded, protected, directed and restrained, will become inevitably narrowed and weakened by it. - Charlotte Perkins Gilman>My own sex, I hope, will excuse me, if I treat them like rational creatures, instead of flattering their fascinating graces, and viewing them as if they were in a state of perpetual childhood, unable to stand alone. - Mary Wollstonecraft>Taught from their infancy that beauty is woman's sceptre, the mind shapes itself to the body, and roaming round its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison. - Mary Wollstonecraft
>>84500585>>84501565>I earnestly wish to point out in what true dignity and human happiness consists. I wish to persuade women to endeavor to acquire strength, both of mind and body, and to convince them that the soft phrases, susceptibility of heart, delicacy of sentiment, and refinement of taste, are almost synonymous with epithets of weakness, and that those beings are only the objects of pity, and that kind of love which has been termed its sister, will soon become objects of contempt. - Mary Wollstonecraft>I love man as my fellow; but his scepter, real, or usurped, extends not to me, unless the reason of an individual demands my homage; and even then the submission is to reason, and not to man. - Mary Wollstonecraft
>>84501506>>84501516but anonymous, i *am* pagliacci-chan!
