Why do people spend money on art? It's just oil on canvas, it's not backed by anything.

explain picasso.

Nowadays art is just used to launder money

But I couldve told you Vincent, this world wasnt meant for one as beautiful as you.

Back in the game!

Basically good art is bitcoin.

>Only familiar with Picasso's cubism
He had a masterful grasp on perspective and geometry and his later pieces are masterful expressions of how the human mind render shapes color and texture to form full images

>Old art
Has value as collection. Have them all, and it's value increases an fuckton
>Modern art
Literally money laundering

No he didn't. That's an extremely pedestrian painting for the period.

You must have a double digit IQ if you think Picasso was talentless

You can’t pop this bubble, it’s made of metal

Please don't kinkshame dude.

That left hand looks off.

I just stated pretty clearly his paintings were not outside the average for a period when a large influx of artists came to be.

Why are his paintings worth more than the highly talented Giotto? Why are andy warhol's joke images bought for 50 million dollars?

Because art is a joke. It's an industry based on creating a faux-value by merchandising from people who buy the pieces after the fact.


The painters originally made very little in comparison to the value these pieces of (mostly copied now) canvas do.

Why is a rembrandt worth 50 million today? Because people know his name and can pretend to be cultured, like yourself, when they own it.

Are you really this clueless. It isn't a bubble, art pieces are just used as tokens to launder money

Came here to post this because it is literally my job

Why would anyone want to look at a hot woman? She's only a collection of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen

When picassocoin?

Unironically: money laundering for the ultra rich. It's a convenient way to pass a shitton of money to your kids through government contracts or private auctions with little oversight, because it's not like art has a market value like real estate.

because at the end of the day everyone is nihilistic and a pretty picture is better than nothing

art is priced artificially high because people use it as a way to launder money

It's called money laundering. When something's value is highly subjective, even the IRS wont blink when you spend millions on a canvas that a feminist took a dump on.

Money laundering.

thats a meme, money laundering is only a small fraction of the art market. art and entertainment is so highly valued because people like to escape. then mix in human ego, and you have people driving the price up for no reason other than to be the only person that gets to experience it.

speculative investments (like stocks)
mondey laundring
and the mass stupid people who think it is something intellectual

Please elaborate. Sounds interesting
