>what's the appeal in this
Context. Very little art is simply "pretty".

Read Malevich's writing or something on Suprematism to understand what he was engaging with. It's an attempt to develop non-objective art. It's usually understood to be seen an attempt at the universal & infinite but people forget that the OP's much more famous companion was exhibited in the upper corner of a room, where a russian cross would normally be long - in other words, positioned as a divine icon.

kek. I don't get why normalfags hold their ignorance as a mark of honor. you've the internet, there's really no excuse to be so uneducated.

it's actually funny that malevich is the topic. there's an anecdote that goes how the avantgarde pushed for works like his black square to be exhibited to the greater public, as they wanted art to be universal, appealing to all humanity, not simply the upper class. but the insecure petite bougies and stupid working class figured it was just the rich playing some sick joke on them, and refused to accept that this was serious art. they cried "my kid could do that!" and "emperor's new clothes!" etc.

in the end, it was their own pretentiousness that lost them art - ironically telling themselves it was lost to pretentiousness. fucking retards. when will they learn?

>Read Malevich's writing or something on Suprematism
thanks man, will do

That's a dumb place to start. get a phaidon book on modernism.

>my Malevich painting when I see a Malevich painting on Veeky Forums

You pretentious cunt.

fuckn hell that's sick

Oh Fuck off and read a book.

>pretension is bad
>not being willing to learn more about things that you don't know much about

how can someone attempt to be pretentious while posing as anonymous

Look man, there's always a risk of being either too pretentious or too banal and I'd much rather be pretentious.

Being open minded about what art has to offer is a good trait to have.

Sitting there pouting and trying to draw lines around what is legitimate and what is illegitimate is really childish.

this got me pretty hard dood

Alexander the great!!!

none of the ones i posted are postmodern but modernist works of art

op here, in addition to what said, read Mondrian (the guy who made ). here's an excerpt i like:
>You will agree that if two words are sung with the same strength with the same emphasis, each weakens the other. One cannot express both natural appearance as we see it and plastic relationships, with the same determinateness. In naturalistic form, in naturalistic color and in naturalistic line, plastic relationships are veiled. To be plastically expressed determinately, relationships can be represented only through color and linein themselves.In the capriciousness of nature, form and color are weakened by curvature and by the corporeality of things. To give the means of expression of painting their full value in my earlier work, I increasingly allowed color and line to speak for themselves.

user above gives a great explanation of the social function of abstract art (appeal to the experiences of everyone) and the above link goes into more theoretical aspects of how an artist ought to represent a work

nice user. w2c?

are prints on canvas so they actually look sort of like an oil painting, or are they just expensive posters?

This is important.

also wondering this

Buy a couple of litho blocks.

Buy ink in correct colors. Maybe get screen printing ink instead of block ink.

Buy nice paper.

Carefully use your blocks to print.

Wow that was easy.

(This shit is easy when someone already created the concept for you.)

user here posted some chinese website that supposedly does high quality repros of the works

...

Veeky Forums has shit, pretentious, or special snowflake taste as usual

it was op's taste, post something if you want to contribute.

>ctrl+f: no Francis bacon
disgusting

...

>good art are only those that conform to my perfect, infallable opinion of art

I love this so much. You'd think it would lose most of its impact viewed on a screen but it holds up pretty well.

>prints on canvas
>"prints"

you answered your own question

Yeah probably, this part especially:
>Context. Very little art is simply "pretty".
I knew it was typing it but I was too lazy to put in the effort to reword it. it's not even true really, it implies that critical content takes precedence, when it's really distinguishing 'beauty' from simple 'prettiness', acknowledging that content is a factor in that beauty (ie knowing the narrative behind a painting contributes to understanding it, but you don't need it to feel its emotion).

also seeing it in person is relevant. they're paintings, not digital drawings - I've not seen anything but malevich's sketches in person but the brushstrokes in black square are brought up in every commentary on it, if it's anything like rothko, i can see how it's relevance.

I'm surprised 4 separate anons defended me for being a pretentious cunt. that's never happened before. pretentious & cunt is pretty on the mark, though don't conflate smugness and wrongness, pleb

Thank you for posting this, I've been looking for it everywhere!

have this on my wall, but cats have ripped it up :^(

Really like this guy

Are you that same user who posted about inspiration is a process?

Yall been to the new sfmoma yet ? The Ellsworth Kelly rooms are gorgeous

>he actually has an understanding about something I don't
>it's an upper class kinda thing
>i know, i'll call him pretentious

Can't believe I fell for this bait

Printing out high art is like having a laminated version of the Mona Lisa on your kitchen counter.

Its kitsch bruv, don't do it.

Pay someone to reproduce it. Its not like it hard.

You can paint that on your own for cheaper, it's two fucking squares, probably one of Malevich's works. It's abstract art.

Bruh, were you in my art class? I took an abstraction class and learnt all about these artists.

Confirmed uncultured, arrogant and bigoted schmuck.
I agree with the way you described the boogies and the working class. You know, I hate both the bourgeois and the working class. They have similar mentalities.

You don't apply objectivity to non-objective art you uneducated swine. It's like comparing a skyscraper to a fucking tent.

Damn I love that painting too. Something about the nice blend of soft greys, Browns and whites mixed with the many curves of the painting makes it a soft and comforting scene. Probably the only image of fat people I like.

probably not m8. i discovered this via the internet and these are famous works in abstract art

great painting definitely. color really makes the subject look a lot fatter than they really are

>You can paint that on your own for cheaper
god dont tell people to do that

if someone sees it and they know Malevich, its going to look more kitsch poorly painted by some random user than if you had a print. and if they don't know Malevich, they probably wont care that its a print

They literally can make their own though. It relates to how Malevich was trying to make art more available for the working class.

It really isn't hard to paint a few squares at all. A little practice can get the freehand right, else a stencil or screen print works too.

but that painting is a century old, user could never paint an accurate reproduction unless he happens to be a professional. its just going to look like a cheap copy

if youre going to paint something yourself because its easy, might as well make your own abstract composition (more fun too)

Jenny Saville

I like the one on the right a lot, do you have any more of her or anyone like her?

None saved, her work is easily found on Google though. As for more like her I'm not really sure, I'm sure someone will stop by eventually in this thread who could help you more though :)

That never occurred to me, the aged look of originals vs reproductions. There are reproductions of famous paintings at the art gallery in my city, is there some sort of artificial aging process? Maybe uv lamps or something?

Stefan from Death Grips is actually an amazing painter, sorta similar style

Gute Nacht

I'd really like to know this, actually. Hoping someone chimes in
