How do people analyze paintings like how the fuck is anyone supposed to know what this lainting is about without the artist telling them.

Good one OP. Professional knife catcher, kek.

Read Livy you ignorant fuck. Even better, read Machiavelli's Discourses on Livy. You can understand most Western Art from Greek and Roman myths and Christianity.

What about Indian art?

The fact you have to ask is its own answer.

Art was made for the educated european aristocracy not for modern wagekek scrubs like us.

This one is literally in the title

How can wh*te bois compete with black men?

I guess this is how professional athletes feel about special olympians.

This is off the top of my head: Oath of the Horatii

>Symbolism

Yes

use the meme lines

it's called context

These fags are basically going to sacrifice themselves for muh country and the womyn are crying
Such heroes brb going to enlist

This one is my favourite Jacques-Louis David. What do you think of it?

Use of light, space, emotions of figures, Fibonacci sequence, use of distance etc

Modern art is retarded though

Yes, it's mostly due to corporatism, media and consumerism. Corporations are more interested in making money so they use media to manipulate people into consuming shit art since nowadays middle class have a bigger buying power. The art must be easily accessible since middle class didn't receive a good education like the aristocracy did centuries ago which results in modern art not being intellectually stimulant.
Before, it was the aristocracy who would commission and finance art. They had a good education and had better taste than the average middle class normie nowadays because of that education. The artist also had a lot of free time since they were supported by the aristocrats and didn't need to worry about money so they could focus on their work 100%.

Can you figure out what a meme means without the meme-crafter telling you?
