@EoinW.
Why hate of everything that you were and spent so much energy to become? People of rural Indiana may know-sense that you looked down on them for the good part of your life (if that’s how I understood your post), so brace for the surprise. Love of expertise and competence in any human occupation and endeavor shields one from feeling of superiority and “looking down on somebody”. Incompetence, ignorance and stupidity…..well, we know when we see it and can not be compared to someone doing “lesser job”, just like it may be a bad idea to compare art and science.If one scrolls (very) fast by Jesus vs Horus chart – it does not exist.
Although cute, one can watch only so many Emmanuel videos.
NAM 1.0.
Never in the history of the world, such a small and not that powerful country had that of a clout and presence on the planet stage. Just a two decades back, before WWII, it was a backward kingdom.@oroboros. Image is most likely of late retrofit and may serve the function with the help of two persons. BTW, building contractor is not in charge of concept and design drawings. He just “builds sh*t”.
Jim K’s brilliant writing is full of unfunded optimism about justice delivered. Goes great with the few glasses of wine.
Number of comments are laced with and can not have enough of “stupid Davos crowd”.Dali paints photo-realistic paintings that that does not look like photo-realistic, if you get my drift. Enigmatic cloud figures,
one coming to her and other running away?Most of visible “elite” often have a secured phone call before they go to bed. Conversation on their part goes like this:
” I got the memo…I understand Sir…..Yes, will do…god night to you too, Sir”.Universal health care. Replies worth of reading.
“10k replies on tiktok, nearly all of them Americans bending over backwards to defend our health care system”.
Potion of “Stalin, Mao and P-Pot” in the mix and daily fed to the pop does wonders.In addition to studies, real painting gave him a good run of struggle. Revisions are documented in series of photos that Dora Maar took in his studio. At the end Picasso won.
“Vanishing vaccine mandates in Australia” after “spectacular public health failure”.
Mandates are not meant to go away, on the long run – no evidence to the contrary. “They” had enough of terrorizing Australia, for the time being that is,which was a test how far “social experiment” can go. Steam pressure valve opened a bit – that’s all, while bold “new chapter of the plan” is implemented on the other side of the planet, in Netherlands.
When some will understand that we are not subjected to decisions of “dummies”.
“Smart-gotcha” comments that start with: “Ooops…”, “Hmmm…”, “I wonder…”, “Ha, ha…” make me physically sick.
Michael Reid posted yesterday an article “The End of the Industrial Age”. THAT is the real problem of the world today.
Mandates, cutting a food production, even a possible war is “Elite’s idea” of solving it while staying at the top.Exceptional skills in cutting that wood block to print so many values and gradations resulting in……… not an art, but illustration.
Two guys at the video look to me like young architects or later semester architecture students having fun being away from the computer screens.. Concept, scale, proportions and details are just too good. For example reveal at the wall following the descend of the steps would have never be conceived by amateur in million years. Another clue is at the begging of the video, when they “drew the plan”.
The only puzzle could be if there was an additional crew involved, but that is not pressing issue. Pure joy.@ John Day.
Of course. Debate, bit long but one have to find the time, is especially interesting to watch from decade time gap and see how all progressed where we are now in eerie continuation. I may add it is not only about the desired wars but introduction of control of movement (familiar?) – starting with air travel which, at the time, was mainly out of sight for many ordinary citizens, thus successful and we passed it with flying colors.
Mr Kay, gate keeper in the “debate”, has a degree in metallurgy, no less.Ten years old debate but interesting to watch from today’s perspective, so I decided to share. Bit long but shed the light to dawn of events that is deeply connected to what we are living through right now. Shows what fine art of gate keeping by the “moderator” and one panelist can do and lead to drum beat of “trust the science”.
Greenfield’s “A permanent shortage of everything”.
I wonder when inventing the “Monopoly”, Parker Bros were thinking: “Let’s create the game where “Marxist and
Soviet” enterprise wins”?
Indoctrinated lime pit instead of brain.Calm arrogance of re-posting the same content that is single wheel of the mouse turn to scroll-up to the host’s offer bar is beyond me.
@Fattigmann
“Photorealistic painting looks suspiciously like it was painted using a camera obscura.”
Your very first post, quote word for word, that started “all of this”. All my replies are to that very first comment.
No more no less.
How from “that” you came to: “It’s disingenuous to compare with modern photorealism”? In addition to other flip-flopping word salad.
Actually it is disappointing that you did not use the term ” 15th century photoshop”.
It’s getting late.@Fattigmann
I have to give it to you: master of three cup game with your own words.
Now you see it and now you don’t. Hard to debate that.@Fattigmann
Why, then, use a word “photo” to describe work that is done four centuries before it’s invention, for one, while admitting that artist deliberately altered some features to “make a point”?
This is going nowhere.@Fattigmann
I never implied that you did not like the painting.You are correct in your last sentence only. Other artists, indeed, did use camera obscura, but if you imply that a “tool” was used (which was not) to trace this image, than result is a dismal failure. While area around the mouth may be, barely, called to photo realistic other ares, especially eyes, are “off”, for what you appear to be blind to notice (and our argument stops right there). That “off-ness” by no means diminish the quality of the painting – quite the opposite. While representing somebody, portrait is somehow otherworldly to be called photo-realistic. One may say it is a “portrait of that inner state of the person” rather than somebody that we may bump into.
Photo realistic portrait is something like this:
Scroll to see photo realistic image of living flesh and search further for more clear versions and full size painting.
One may ask what is the nick-picking about trivial micro-world-thing like an art in the era of looming WWIII, “pandemic” and other idiocies and my argument is that ignorance, of any kind, spreads like cancer and adds to greater ignorance that in return leads to “anything goes and nothing matters” and election of the “leaders” that we have now.
Pointing to that earned me a lot of rotten tomatoes by the ignorant.@Fattigmann
What is beautiful of the portrait is precisely of not being photo realistic. Examine closer.
The use of projector is the reason that I can not stand contemporary portrait or figure paintings since I can spot it from a mile distance. There are exceptions, of course.
@Dr D
Good paint (?) and good for 1400. We are talking Renaissance here, albeit early.It is not about art (although it is). Ignorance spreads like cancer and leads to the world in which “nothing matters and anything goes”. The one that we are experiencing right now.
Note to myself (English is my 2nd lang) – mindless re-post of an article about the plight of Assange’s family that was already included in TAE list was explained to me as an “overlap with a reason” in reply to my previous inquiry about the practice that, in my opinion, shows that poster is barely reading what’s offered on this site.
Since everybody is quiet:
In his multiple long posts Dr Buda is re-posting the staff that was already posted by the TAE day before.
And not only this time.
Bosko must be scratching his head.I can’t resist.
This painting is one of my favorite because of lover 1/3 of the canvas.
We are talking 1844 in here.TAE introduced me to treasure trove of vintage photographs that is a Shorpy site.
Interesting and recently, old photograph of stacked coffins during the 1918 Spanish flu prompted some commentators, including me, to point out how “what we have now” is far cry from the pandemic. To make story short, all comments and
replies that were supporting narrative of false and imposed emergency lasted for one day and were promptly removed from the comment section by the host. Seemingly innocent, yet another sample how far we had gone.I warned him but he apparently enjoys stepping on the art-rake over and over.
Encouraged by the TAE community and the host, he views me as his menace.Get well RIM.
Those two have a bunch of videos dedicated to sciatica and low back issues that you my find helpful.
Here is one. With YT subscription, an algo will lead to others.
Talking about derailed train of understanding, so one more time:

Re: unrestrained “opinions”
We are all pressured with all this Covid hysteria, so all the talk is more than encouraged. But, can any of us discuss mRNA
vaccine in equal footing with Dr Malone? How many of us really understand genome sequencing? I know that I don’t. I know wood veneer grain sequencing and that’s about it.
“Military insignia of Filipino’s 11th infantry brigade from Oct 12 1937 to March 30 1938 (I just made that up).
Half of US continent in unison: Filipino’s military insignia…I fucking know military insignia of Filipino’s 11th infantry brigade and goes like this…(not of the mark what I am trying to convey)”.
As with art it is different, you say. It is ALL about HART and LOVE and PERSONAL FEEL.
Is it?
Arnold had mention that he had a chance to visit Guggenheim museum in NY. So he climbed up the ramp, and one after another, a true treasure of great postwar paintings that he deemed as a junk as I can get from his comments, are starring at him. Yet, entire building is dedicated to “that junk”. Should one pose at the top of the ramp, scratch his head and ask himself some hard questions? I am being civil in here.
On the other hand, TDK had posted yesterday that landscape painting, that sings to many HARTS and FEELINGS Alas,
no serious museum, even the one that specialize in landscapes, would touch it with the ten foot pole. Sorry.
Kinkade, the one that I made joke as a candidate for the April the 1st post, was the most successful artist in sales. While adoring candy boxes, greeting cards and such, his work is nowhere to be seen in said museums too.
What is going on in here?The end and no more.
@ Dr D # 102986
BBee could not have made my point that I was making yesterday more clear. Point, that is, of “right to an opinion on just about anything” regardless how one is familiar with the subject.
WES yesterday, with his comment proved that it is perfectly all right not to “know it all” and feel good about oneself. True shame is when one is bad in the field that he or she is making living of.
Despite all those “proofs”, if you will, I am aware of sour faces and utter contempt from the audience so probably I will not bother commenting any longer.@WE
Double negative at my reply – no good on my part.
Glad to see some action and comments dedicated to the FIRST thing of each daily.@WES
Good one!
Quantum physics at work ?
That I do not know nothing about and, God forbid, comment further.@aspanz
Unless you have comfortable understanding:
Do you argue with an expert of economy of Bosnia between 1918 an 1945, and have your opinion?
Or with quantum physicist who is telling you that you’re nothing but vibrating particles?
Or….?@WES
That’s right attitude of a person who is comfortable with in what he’s good at (and artists or art lovers are not).@ Arnold
I was trying to save you from looking like the “guy from the symphony lobby” that I created as a visual of what does it mean when somebody ventures into something that is beyond his or hers grasp. Do you think that is good to be like (ignorant) “him”? Remember, I did not use foul language, or course at you. If you want to be like “him” is up to you.
Do not feel bad. There are academy educated artists who are lost when it comes to art work that is non-realistic. In your case I see that you are trying hard, so that’s good on your part.
My reaction is no different than those of, say, passionate and knowledgeable stamp collector, car mechanic, baseball fan, nuclear physicist.. upon hearing an “opinion”.@RIM
Bit of distraction from daily Covid and world affairs grind.
Oddly, even though drawing “is” 2D to 3D attempt (note use “of brain” to evaluate it), that’s not what I admire about it but
the “feel that radiates” and is recognized by the “receptors” that are developed through decades of interest. I am aware that it sounds mystical and annoying but even the aesthetic, branch of philosophy that deals with issues of art can not explain it any other way.
I am more than happy to let go of my “first impression”, from decades ago, of Picasso, Mahler’s 2nd or any other “heavier” art creation. “Guy in the lobby”, that I described in my first paragraph above, is expressing his “first impression” about the musical performance that he’d just witnessed.
With “..ask yourself what is it that you are not quite getting but doggedly commenting on” I was not being disrespectful
to Arnold but rather prompting him to realize there is more to it and to “take on the journey”.After the performance of a “heavy classical piece” a person, not only that he mocks, making faces and mimics performers while mingling with other symphony goers in the lobby but thinks that he has the “right to express his opinion” in the open.
Arnold?
Right of anybody to have an (uneducated) opinion about anything cheapens that field of human endeavour, regardless if the theme is a miter cut through the wood panel, kidney surgery or quantum physics. While people are wise enough not to subject those fields to their loud opinion, art is, somehow, a beloved target.
There is nothing wrong to “enjoy” the art in your way and by all means do so, but also ask yourself what is it that you are not quite getting but doggedly commenting on.
