That's actually a teenager.

artfag here. how do i tell if my art is degenerate or not?

>pic is not my art, the gorious zdzislaw beksinski

Anything edgy (made by someone with no artistic ability) with stupid subjects as muh symbolism is usually degenerate.

I guess some artists with ability could count too, like those hyperdetailed cancerous sculptures

...

This needs to be on /hr/ if you want decent sized art.

How does Sup Forums feel about Japanese Art?

I feel like any art that strives for beauty and mastery is nondegenerate, western or not.

Degenerate art is that who doesnt reflects reality and perfection. Oniric surrealism its not degenerate, but abstract, cubism or graffiti is.

If you want to understand this, you should buy this book, Ortega y Gasset its based in many ways, but this little ensay its amazing.

HOD art teacher here, want to redpill my students on art. Aware of Roger scruton but need to formulate unit plans, any recommended further reading? (Currently reading the dehumanization of art by Jose Ortega y Gasset, interesting/alternative take on modernism but still predominantly liberal trash.)

Egoism is the hallmark of degeneracy.
emancipation over restraint
equality over hierarchy
emotion over order
self over society

So weird we just posted the same author. It seems ortega still submits to this liberal autonomous ideaology which removes objectivity from art... I will continue reading.

>Degenerate art is that who doesnt reflects reality and perfection
What about impressionists?

Who's this?

...

Edmund blair

someone make a thread on /hr/

Well, Ortega is a early XX century liberal, not a cultural marxist. He was father in law of Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera, and his thinking influenced the phalanx, and the actual constitution, and the secesionist from Galicia, Catalonia and Pays Basque, lol, he influenced everything in spanish think in the last 100 years.

see Impressionism is favoring the passing moments of sensation to the timeless structures of ideals.

...

look up the original definition of "obscene" for why this is degenerate art.

Degenerate art begins with impressionisms, but I would not call early impressionist degenerate. The downfall stated with impressionism, no doubt.

...or any painting with religious motives, the majority of the entire history of art.
It's a completely ridiculous argument.

...

these threads are gold of Sup Forums

...

And is there not value in that? The passing moments of sensation delivered to us by impressionists give us context to ideals that others preserve. If we do not find the human understanding of a society then we cannot hope to understand fully the ideologies that society has produced.

One may understand an ideology intellectually but they cannot bring that ideology to life without understanding the lives that produced it.

...

...

...

Why? Religious art represent perfection and reality every time, or can you put an example?

Normalno.

...

Giotto, Durer, Bosch, El Greco, Blake ect. ect. divert from realistic depictions and work within the realms of imperfections to create images from the mind as opposed to works created from reference.
They didn't even strife for realism...would you call them degenerate?
Is only hardcore academic realism the way art is not degenerate?

...

...

The characteristic thesis of liberalism from its outset was that society and government are not natural to us, but artificial; arising out of a contract or agreement of some sort (depending on what version of liberalism you subscribe), between individuals who do not have any preexisting obligations to one another or to any larger social whole. Indeed, there is no social whole of which the individuals are naturally a part, and thus no common good, and I see this seeping through Ortegas idea of art as art... It's somewhere off in the ether, no real fundamental objectivity but some kind of self-fulfilling blasé sentiment

...

...

Are you saying hell doesnt exists? Fucking heretic.

And if you look at my post I call oniric surrealism as not degenerate, if that picture were degenerate, that old man search perfection, the mimic of nature, what im talking about would look like madams of avignon. This its art who doesnt try to reflect reality.

You can argue querubins or unicorns or greek gods are not real, but they try to reflects reality and perfection..

Pic related Avignon whore, from the degenerate picasso.

This.

Also, Giotto would have to be considered as a degenerate by your stupid standards...

...

...

You've got this really wrong if you view art like a hierarchy.

...

Strange that a bunch of Brits run the place then. Wonder what that's about...

Yeah, but he was totally against the Social contract of Rousseau, his son in law especifically mentions that in the inaguration speech of the phalanx. Its liberalism in the sense he opposes monarchy, but doesnt believe in the social contract.

Gonna make a little dump
