Why did we stop creating beauty, Sup Forums?

From art to architecture, why did we stop creating beauty?
Is there a way we can restore society to those good old days?

When was the last time u met a stonemason?
people capable of working stone and marble like that are very few nowdays due to a shift in what people want (are told what's in fashion or not)

take any basic architecture course. It's simple to see how Jews destroyed all traditional architecture.
take any basic art history course. It's harder to see but still evident, jews destroyed all traditional arts, mostly through patronage because no Jew can ever learn to create art

jews

thats overdesigned

minimalism is best

Lol, you guys are so fucking stupid

Hello Canada

Real subtle, shlomo

not even the butchers are taught every part of the process anymore. The best we have is automation and an army of stem grads

>anarchist

The lack of God. There's a reason churches are always the most beautiful structures in old European towns, they were monuments to the glory of God. God was understood as truth, beauty, and goodness, therefore erecting beautiful structures was an act of reverence to Him. With the death of God in western society the only ideals we strive towards are comfort, efficiency, and edginess.

>Jews destroyed
That's what Jews do - as they themselves will admit.

While a feast for the eyes, will this cathedral make you think?

Modern art is great.

really switches on the almonds

no it's pretty awesome, minimalism sucks
but i guess it's just preference
modern art is shit
you don't have to degrade visual excellence to send a message
just look at 16th-18th centuries

I'm going to say capitalism is the reason we no longer build things like this anymore, it just wouldn't be cost effective.

>why did we stop
Did we?

because shit like that is just way too expensive, and there will always be a corporate jew CEO justifying his exorbitant salary by cost-cutting and maximizing the bottom line.

Beauty is a symbol of inequality.
It's much easier for everything to be made ugly, than everything to be make beautiful.
Disfiguring someone is easier than plastic surgery.. Besides beauty is subjective, haven't you noticed all these beautiful double plus sized models lately?

Blame the equality agenda

In case this isn't bait, pic related. Modern art isn't good. It never was good, and never will be good. It was literally a tool used and propagated by he CIA as a form of psychological warfare against the communists. We destroyed our own culture in order to destroy Soviet culture, selling our modern art as free and expressive and meaningful because that was what Soviet society lacked. If you legitimately like modern art you need to reexamine your life, your tastes, and your principles, because you have been deceived and duped. It is not free, or expressive, or meaningful, it is poorly crafted shite by talentless hacks who were only successful because people were deliberately mislead by CIA "art experts" into believing that their work was all of those things.

Fuck me, compression loss. Reverse image search it or search the article's title. It's worth the read

See

Only knows how to destroy instead of build.

Typical leafcuck

There are still plenty of masons, but they build ugly modern brick buildings.

We didn't . This was just recently finished.
There's still hope.

Stupid as fuck

>this was just recently finished
>recently

Yes, get rid of the blackos.

That thing still has 20 something years before it's finished

can't wait for isis to destroy it

Breh that won't be "finished" for another 10+ years maybe.
Under construction since the late 1800's.

>t. Mr. Goldstein

>wasting society's resources to build a useless temple to a god who doesn't exist
We got smart. Then we started using our resources for real things that actually matter. If you want to waste money worshipping a fake god, go to Saudi Arabia and visit Mecca.

JUST

Prince Charles got a traditional little town called Poundbury built and it triggers the hell out of Leftists

Here is a Bosnia and Herzegovanian town recently built in old styles.

There's no incentive to create beauty in a world that only cares about money. No this isn't a fuck capitalist thing, it's about the morals and values of the world.

Everyone knows the answer. The reason the West stopped caring about beauty, and stop building beautiful cathedrals is PROTESTANTISM.

Protestants, with their anti-intellectual hatred of creation, think any beauty is a "graven image and idolatry." So, they destroyed art / cathedrals / beauty and shamed Catholics into focusing on it for the past 500 years.

Freemasons created these massive structures, not peasant protestants.

I was wrong. It was recently consecrated and services began. It is still a beautiful building.

Modern art isn't great, but your post is interesting: It highlights the shift of work from the artist to the consumer in modern art. The modern artist can essentially put out anything, and put as little work as he pleases into his product, and then burden is then on the consumer to look at it and find some meaning in it. The work has essentially been shifted on the consumer to try to solve the meaning of the art. In a way, the less meaning a piece of art has, or to put it another way the more meaningless it is, the better it is from the consumer's point of view (assuming the consumer to be a Modernist) because it means he has to think all the harder to find a reason for it, and when he finally has created a meaning for it, the art can be seen as deeper or more profound.

We will again.

GREED
we don't care about beauty anymore we care about function

Look at how triggered he is.

The Left have this strong urge to house the people they profess to care about in the most depressing environ possible.

NOW FILL IT WITH SOMALIANS

>EU YES

It's not hard at all to see in the art world. It's like Jews practically run the whole thing from top to bottom. I honestly believe whites will never outwit Jews until they figure out they need to always maintain control over A) Banking B) Art and Entertainment C) Politics D) Schools. Banking is the most important part though, because with banking comes the ability to fund projects such as entertainment, arts and media as well as schools and to sway public opinion and the whole legal system in any direction within a democracy.

It looks quite a genteel little place. You can see why the Left hate it.

That's very pleasant looking, good initiative.

Daaaaamn

Oh yea. Muh jews. Muh brutalism. Muh Christian values. Muh Western artistry. I do admit, Catholic Cathedrals are top tier aesthetics and priceless pieces of art.

Overly complex and old do not mean beautiful.

>That's very pleasant looking, good initiative.
Do you even know what it is? I'm not sure if actual info/criticisms are available in English. To put it short, it's a private project that falsifies history and is basically built to be a private playground for film festivals etc, using stone and materials from actual historical monuments, and paid mostly with taxpayer money (while those taxpayers live in literal crumbling shacks in run-down villages with a few dozen inhabitants).

cool. it's like if Tim Burton designed a city.

I puked in my mouth. This is degenerate architecture.

Rebellion against god.

its fucking ugly compared to the Burgos or Toledo cathedral

I think you need a little bit of the fountain head

It's not functional for modern uses idiot. Imagine running power cables through that. Or even modern HVAC.

At least it's pretty

Do I have to remind you that we flattened that building? and that Cologne was a major city so they needed to rebuild the main train station asap so they can fix their infrastructure?

CIA backed post modernism in the west

Nuclear weapons, like the space program, are totally fake. The USSR and America covered for each other. The occultists run everything from the shadows. The profane goyim get puppet leaders and sham ideologies and conflicts to argue about.

That is legit breathtaking. What country is it from?

>cherry pick the ugliest buidlings imaginable to put against pretty old buildings
Sup Forums has no fucking idea how to be fair and balanced. I challenge you to find some modern buildings that don't completely suck ass to end your circlejerk.
