Does Modern Art still have the ability to inspire horror and despair?

...

I don't get why Goya is so celebrated
That's literally his only good work. And it still kinda falls short

really jerks your braincocks...

What fucking awful taste you have, every single one of the Black Paintings is a masterpiece

Fuck off, disasters are great

found the thread's resident funny man

That's his most overrated work

The only painting you can hear with your eyes

>Francis Bacon
>modern art

No

Not even the best of the Black Paintings you immense pleb.

The fuck are you on about lad?

Gonna admit, don't know much about the other black paintings

But what pisses me off is the goddamn 3rd of may painting
It's just so incredibly bad

Goya didn't even paint that.

pretty much
ISIS and their elaborate filming of real horror has raised the bar to a ridiculous extreme
look up ISIS slaughterhouse for a good example, mere art can't compare to the real thing made into an art in and of itself

>HIS POWAH LEVEL

I can't think of any art before Bosch that really inspires horror or despair.

Nah

he was inspired by modernists but he isn't a modernist himself

>sign in the back says kuntsmarket

Celtic Frost are pretty great

3rd of May is better if you take it with the 2nd of May. It was meant to be propaganda. But one of the things that made Goya so good was that he deliberately tried to not depict things perfectly, but rather projected his emotions and the nature of the subject onto the paintings. It's especially noticeable in his paintings of Fernando VII.

That said, if you don't like the style of the 3rd of May, Goya has some really good prints (he's considered a grand master of aquatint). Interestingly enough, his portrait of the Nude Maja is considered the first Western painting of female pubic hair that wasn't depicted in a bad way.

Three Studies... was '44. Struggling to see how he wouldn't be a modern artist.

This.

I was impressed not too long ago by the wax sculptures of Berlinde de Bruyckere.

Seeing how OP used "still", I suppose he meant contemporary art.

pic related is easily the most horrifying work of art i've ever seen and it'd be considered modern art.
There's something about the faces and poses which is just terrifying, you could almost say that it has demonic/evil energy.

Hmm phallic.

Hopefully, I don't come off as too pretentious : \/ This is a painting by Mark Rothko, part of his last series of paintings (black on gray) before his death, fitting because it is meant to symbolise death. Not necessarily a specific death or death in its particular but death as a concept, in its generality. This is one of the most dread-inspiring paintings I've seen, and the more I look at it the more desolate and empty it looks.

you bet your ass it does.

I found it very underwhelming

But I ain't black so maybe that has something to do with it

Nice trips.

I see a screaming, agonised face in the centre of that blob just to the top right.

...

Yes this is unsettling.

I can't seem to find that picture of the dog looking into a dark room
the suspense is real in that painting but it eludes the fuck out of me atm

>"And then I called out into the dark, but heard naught but the echo of mine own cry"

>horror and despair
both at it and with it.

thank mr banky

Reminds me of Garfields 9 lives

Rothko is absolutely amazing. I got to see some of his paintings in person and they're utterly magnificent.

I'm surprised no one's put up Munch yet.

Because it's so stupid looking.

It creates humor, not horror.

user get some of his true works on here, not repros

Any ode to Masahiro Ito?

Reminder that art is dead.

I assume you mean contemporary art since you say 'still' but also I don't think painting really has the ability to inspire horror and fear since that's not the primary medium in which we view the world.

But yes, what's called 'abject art' which builds on psychoanalytic, anthropological and surrealist ideas inspires horror.

Reminder if it doesn't use dates or evidence it's not a good opinion.

Reminder that only uneducated forest apes with a blatant political bone to pick think art is dead

>he pretends this has a point

OOGA BOOGA
*flings feces*
ITS NOT ART UNLESS IT VALIDATES MY SIMIAN NATIONALISM!
