My wife wants to buy a painting for the mantel, I want something that isnt degenerate, she does

How do I convince her otherwise? She wants "something abstract." I wanted something like pic related. Maybe a Union Calvary charge or another nationalistic painting. How do i explain to her that degenerate art erodes morals, institutions, and civil society?

How are we supposed to know how to talk to your wife better than you do?

you cant go wrong with that one "dies irae" painting
its pretty gnarly

>something abstract

How is abstract art degenerate you faggot, she just wants something that looks good in the room. It's not like she's putting up porn or something.

>no family portrait
What op, arent you proud of your wife and her son?

One and only option unless you're a commie faggot. All Americans must have this in their homes.

>abstract """art"""

fuck off, some faggot throws paint like a ape and it somehow it's art

My line fought in the Revolution but we weren't at that battle. That is like putting up a picture of Iwo Jima when granddad was at Normandy. Fuck off.

Do you know how hard a good splatter painting actually is to make?

At this point consider yourself lucky she doesn't want some Podesta Molesta shit or a form of degeneracy that can't be contained on a single sheet of canvas.

>Do you know how hard a good splatter painting actually is to make?

now you sound like a huge faggot. fuck your stupid wife too

Rorke's Drift

What battle then?

The civil war rifle can go in the den (wtf does that mean). The living room is to be filled with shit, I guess.

Being a woman, she might not appreciate the military art. Show her some other classic art from the days when artists had skill. There are magnificent landscapes and beautiful Victorian scenes, all public domain now.

>She wants "something abstract."
Anime is an abstract kind of feel.

Proceeding to dump random shit.

t. ape

>Do you know how hard a good splatter painting actually is to make?
this better be a fucking joke

...

Compromise and get something Impressionist.

Give it a go if it's so damn easy.

...

Op why not an agreement? Find some American realism painting like Hopper or Coleville, instead of your old gaudy painting.

Lake Champlain (1776)
Battle of Brandywine (1777)
Battle of Paoli (1777)
Battle of Germantown (1777)
Battle of Monmouth (1778)
Battle of Springfield (1780)
Battle of Bull's Ferry (1780)

Nice

...

Look up Romantic art. Pic related is one of my favorites.

...

This, check out the Art Renewal Center.

She likes french impressionst stuff. Apartment was full of water lillie shit before I got to her. She was going to be a nun before she met me. Im the good, God fearing protestant patriot. She i German catholic (with a very healthy dose of Alsatian), very European.

what does your wife's son's bull's prepper think?

Compromise on an abstract nationalistic painting.

Stop being a faggot and put what you want on your mantle.

Now you can both be happy.

Are his balls hanging out?

...

Honestly assuming this is the living room you want your piece to be a conversation starter so something a little more personal and introspective. A lot of people do scenery which i find dreadfully boring but its safe and could be a comprise. Something like your pic related is a little too gaudy for a center piece. Maybe for a office/ study type room I could see it. How would you feel about pic related

Good idea. Might be the best bet.

This is probably a better option if you want landscape painting. Its also a good way to signal that your redpilled

Get a non-degenerate wife.

One of mine, too!

i would but i don't feel like puking

Here's an example that might fit. (It depends a lot on what the room looks like, of course.)

I suggest you have her look fir what she wants first - it might not be all that degenerate. If it is, argue that it wouldn't fit well with the house's interior

...

Compromise on getting representative (as in, non-abstract) art, but of a pretty thing.

>How would you feel about pic related
She stated several times it is to be a conversation starter. Good call there. Yeah I want something that has meaning other than some squares like you see in the dentist office.

...

That's not Romantic what the fuck are you on about dumbcunt

get a clock

...

no shit.

Pollock was literally a CIA asset.

pic related is pretty autistic. just get a portrait of the führer or something.

>not getting a Chinese master race art

You fucking degenerate

...

Really enjoy this but I would never find a place to hang this up.

Explaining that to a women is pointless, women don't care about those things.
Just explain that it feefeelz better, use buzzwords, lots of them.

...

Yes this

Don't get a military painting (visual art is a terrible way to convey the feel of a battle too, read a fucking book), get a classic landscape

tell her that the abstract "art" of today exists largely for money laundering - which tbqh, it is.
Thus, the actually value behind it is bar none, and you might as well be staring at someone who shat the paint onto that canvas inside eggs

>doesn't know what romanticism is
>is the great great grandson of a pleb convict
it all makes sense

i didn't know tibet has internet service

What does she want?

Well said cousin.

pic related is another possibility.

Im not surprised American can't read right, I don't blame you tho, you are in the land of free so you are free to be dumb

Impressionism is breddy good

Your personal library. It would go well with books.

...

...

>being this uncultured

Here's a portrait.

If you want to control your power level, you only get to sperg out once in a while.

Now is the time.

Pepe must be the one to sit on your mantel, so that the spirit of Kek may bless your abode.

...

Favorite painting is Pollice Verso, google it. It has a great bit of meaning behind it as well, really shows how easily people are influenced when they look to people they think are more knowledgeable then them.

Very France 1944 painting

...

Why am I not surprised

Abstract enough ?

Her parents have mostly needle work done by her mother, which is fine. But they bought these awful paintings that look like the came from a department store, which they did, and she has taken to them. She said tonight she wants "abstract." I taught a humanities course and abstract is shit tier to me. You basically make up the meaning. I dont know if she understands the term or not. I am big in the romantic era. I am going to try and direct her there. Problem is she wants something original, not a reproduction.

This is the one that hangs in my parents dining room, classic and not uncommon in Minnesota.

>Yankee calvary charge

Kek her libcuck abstract shit is less degenerate than that

more like a very magical /k/ painting
picture the conversation about where you found the painting

Jan Matejko, Reception of the Jews

For you, Chinese friend.

...

>not uncommon in Minnesota.
Lutheran art I assume is verboten here. Im a good methodist. She is more catholic than the pope.

Google some of them and some art of the battle would show up.

...

>lives in America
>wants a painting over the mantel and not a gun

Dude, gas yourself.

This is defo going to be hung on my bedrooms wall , if I have a house that is ...

Why not just split the difference and pick some art nouveau or a Flavian?

I have a great idea!

Last image, presenting the full cast of the eternal anglo, this one is a gold mine of reaction faces.

>Problem is she wants something original, not a reproduction.
Hmm... that is a problem. I've seen a few modern originals that are pretty good, but not many to choose from.

Impressionism and all art movements that followed Impression are absolute fucking trash and if you disagree you are a communist and need to find a new board.

Not everyone shags his cousin while kissing his toothless mom, billy

what's wrong with abstract art, user?
