You spark a riot by speaking freely about the depraved doings of the royal court in a crowded marketplace

>We have photography for that.

This is what nerds really believe.

What the hell are you talking about? Theres a fuckton of comics and graphic novels with a fuckton of gory shit about those wars.

Here is your (you). Comes with painting of congo genocide.

It's a fact. Photorealism fell out of favor in the (painted) art world when photography became more and more accessible. Why try to imitate life with brushstrokes when we can replicate it perfectly with technology?

No user, if I don't know about it it's because it doesn't exist not because I'm an uncultured retard who use an anime japanese image board as his only source of information.

Because a painter can paint 'realistic' things he could never see.

...

The St. Bartholomew's Day massacre was instigated by the royalists/catholics.

That's why there aer so many other styles than photorealistic. The problem is that we live in the age of postmodernism which swung radically in the other direction: from static art that purely seeks to imitate reality to utterly ruleless "muh feels" art that seeks to actively avoid beauty rather than express and celebrate it.

Modernism was muh feels in the visual arts. Post modernism brought representation, thinking about your subject, and occasionally photorealism back to painting.

>Post modernism brought representation, thinking about your subject, and occasionally photorealism back to painting.

What does "Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue" represent?
What thought is there behind a signature on a mass-produced urinal?
What significance is there behind Piss Christ?

It's all part of the post-modernist philosophy: there is no truth, nothing is objective, it's all like just your opinion man. This is why especially Piss Christ is painful in this regard: it literally exists solely to offend. When the shock has faded after the first ten seconds, it has zero value.

What also helped these morons get the status of respected artists was the fact that the CIA was desperate to compete in an artistic dick measuring contest with the Soviet Union and started weaponizing 2deep4u.

Most of that sort of thing is modernist. Kandinsky, Pollock, monochromes, pink in a corner, and the like are typically classed as modernist works.

Postmodernism includes modernist offshoots, but a photorealistic screen print of a house made using bubblegum is also pretty typical for that set. Or hyper real wax sculptures of kids but with dicks for noses. Or paintings of desserts framed and scaled like landscapes.

Mission accomplished, I suppose. Why else would I be speaking about it there if not to start a riot?

If I just wanted to undermine the aristocracy, I'd spread rumors or have urchins paint explicit graffiti. This way, the king would have no idea where it's coming from.

If I wanted to shame a particular aristocrat before his peers, I'd go after him in particular, making the allegation publicly so that everyone else would be forced to act like they don't do it too and so destroy him to protect themselves. A variation is to use such an allegation both to weaken my opponents and to make an example for other aristocrats to clean up their acts.

The other reason to rail publicly against corruption is as extortion against the rulers. "I'm the only one standing between you and the pitchforks, so pay up." In that case, you have to be recognized as a leader and rabble-rouser so you can let yourself be bought off. Stirring up an actual riot proves that you can do it (see the crown heights riots and murders in the early 90s in NYC) and improves your bargaining position.

Your timing, rhetoric, and political position had better be very finely calibrated, though, or you're toast if the king decides that it's cheaper in the long run to buy an assassin and kill you rather than paying your protection money. Priests are good for this, because they're supposed to be morally outraged about stuff and because theoretically they are non-combatants and so untouchable. Or at least protected by the supernatural forces they worship, depending on the setting.

>Instigated by the good guys.

I doubt it.

>That feel when Catholic and Republican

>That feel when Catholic and Republican
No conflict there. Just convert to being irish.

You call this art...?

>IRA
>Actually Republican
Sinn Fein is borderline theocratic and they're the moderate wing

They're not Catholic either. It's a Marxist organization if I'm not mistaken.

I'm aware. I assumed frogposter was referring to american republicans, since he made no distinction. The irish bit was a joke, not a deep political commentary.

>You call this art...?
Watch out gang, the Art Police are here.

Where do I sign up?

I guess that is the logical consequence of a critfail when trying to recruit for tonight's orgy.

He said paint war like it's happening. Not paint war like you're tripping balls. Your example is "The War: On Drugs", not "The War on Drugs."

This is some horrid garbage, not art. Awful stuff, technically, morally, symbolically and in every other way. And this is the best you can do? Pathetic.

Modern art is literally a meme made by the (((CIA))). And you fell for it. Google it if you don't believe me. Dumb sheep

>What the hell are you talking about?

He's just another /pol/tard fishing for replies. In this case, "we don't see images of war anymore because Tumblr doesn't like it", I guess.

It's cool, brah.

Every game I DM my players do this, EVERY single game. Doesn't even matter what system.

>Left-wing
>Capable of art

Art is against Marxist principles. Deconstruct everything!

It is. The IRA was getting funding and guns from Moscow and Boston.

I wish there was some art police. Classical skills and proper draftsmanship have almost died out. It's next to impossible to actually be taught them in the West.

To be fair, that painting looks like shit. Hitler painted better than whoever made that. pic related

I love it when people say that hitler's art was actually OK when the Academy was 100% correct about him

I didn't say it looked good, just that it was better than the Congo painting.

Sure. But we're discussing things that the photographer did see.

Literally nothing wrong with this.

>6.5 heads
Stop drawing manlets, user.

It's better than 99% of modern art.

I wonder if those art school admissions guys ever felt guilty for rejecting Hitler. You know, since they basically doomed the world over complaints about perspective.

>implying anyone cares what (You) think about art
You gotta choose your battles, user. Besides, it's not like you can't paint and then go into politics later.

>If we don't give babby exactly what he wants he might start killing peopel so let's give babby everything he asks for

All they had to do was let him in the door and the world would be saved.

We let Saudis in when they got no talent. At least Hitler was eager.

>Art is against Marxist principles
So is gun control. I guess right wingers are Marxists now.

Zero to /pol/ in three responses.

Dunno, maybe it's just hard to make pictures of war when using paint enemas and then farting them to the canvas.

>bad at letting it fall off the board

>Sheeeit

But that's St. Bartholomew's massacre, you should have spoken about the church, not the king

To be fair, it's pretty clear these days that /pol/tards are constantly checking the catalog for any thread that can possibly be related to political shitposting, no matter how tenuous the connection.

I miss read that as Depraved dongs of the royal court.
I called the inquisition and the inquisitor deals with the slaanesh cult while helped by angry citizen who know there enemy's dong is mutated.

Why choose and pick?
Instead of comparing thid to congo pic compare it to /pol/ was a mistake.
It took 3 post and I contribute to the problem.

Our party would do the only sensible thing and go to the next duchy.

Maybe they filled up their "potential dictator" diversity target after accepting Mecha-Hitler and Negative-Universe-Mr-Rogers.

>>only paints architecture
Not really a bad thing.
>>still has shitty perspective
Something that did need work, perhaps at some kind of educational facility.
