I'd think that any artist worth a damn would without a doubt be a fan, to put it mildly, of the single greatest moment in history when it comes to Art.
It peaked then, and we haven't come close ever since. Some would probably say that we're straying even further from the apex nowadays, and I would have to agree in a general way (thankfully we are still gifted with a few pristine gems from time to time).

I feel similar to

everything to do with the art market and the rise of art dealers as the driving force behind general perception and consumption of art.
I guess the cancer of postmodernism played a part too.

that later/present postmodernism has along with the market got messed up by people selling crappy and/or hired to make crappy art(subjectivity of art) and dealers/"agents" trying to or succeeding to trick people in to thinking that some art piece is amazing;may general feel is that there should be less art galleries(unless the artist(s)is paying for it)and installations

I remember complaining that a blank canvas got sold for a ludicrous amount and an "artist" told me I just don't understand it, you need to read the description. I dunno, In my humble opinion the art should speak for itself. If I need to listen to a lecture while looking at a picture to understand or feel it, I won't consider it good, especially if it is obvious low effort. Tho I can still appreciate the work someone did on a piece that obviously took long hard work to make, even if it isn't to my taste. Anyway, whoever buys a blue canvas with a white line through the middle for 44 million dollars is either laundering money or an idiot.

The point that you really nailed there, especially in regards to the blank canvas or banana canvas artwork, is a lot of the high end art world (and the value associated with the art works) is a money laundering scheme. In a lot of cases "overinflated" art prices are actually just a way of moving money from point A to point B while keeping the facade of legitimacy. It's not about arts objective or even subjective quality or value, it's about circumventing tax and law entities.

I was thinking about getting the art investment account that is being shilled on YouTube currently. (Masterworks).
It does seem like a good investment...BUT when there is an actually recession it is more likely to loose money.
During the last global financial crisis the first assets people tried to get rid off where art pieces and their value crashed hard. The only ones who made any money of it where
the dealers and banks who bought them for peanuts and resold them again when the economy was doing well again.
So it's only a good investment when you are in the middle of a recession and you should get rid of them as soon as the economy is doing well again. Shares and other assets can crash as well, but unless the economy crashes so hard that you need to exchange Vodka and Cigarettes for bread, they are still a more stable investment then art. At least from what I have seen, I'm not an expert.

Hey. I'm the developer. Could I please keep the ownership of this thread.

Looks like the game is almost finished. How do you feel after all the sweat you've put for this?

The update, not the game.

Wait, SERIOUSLY? Just how long of a game is this going to be? Not that I'm complaining tho.

I blame Picasso for making it okay for 'artists' to not be able to make the images they paint and draw look anything like how the models for the images actually appear. Just imagine if people really looked the way he painted them to look. Nowadays you don't even have to be able to make your 'art' look like anything at all, just tell those that don't like it that they aren't smart enough to understand it and those desperate enough to fit in with the crowd they want to fit in with will go along with anything to be accepted.

Y'know, nazis are obsessed with Realism, because they think that art is all about showcasing the technical skill of the artist and thuswise prove the superiority of their culture over others through technical achievement. They despise (post-)modernism, decrying it as jewish influence attempting to destroy white civilization, because they can't see why anyone would value art *except* for this display of racial chauvinism.

Are you seriously trying to argue for "modern art" by justifying this direction with how much it was hated by some of the worst criminals in modern society?
Those guys were wrong in the worst way with pretty much everything in regards to their racism... can't say the same about their art taste though.

I mean, I kind of understand part of it. Nowadays you can draw a red line on a white canvas and sell it for a million pounds (in fact, there's a painting that it's exactly that). The author can just say that the freaking line represents whatever bullshit they make up on the spot and give their work a value it may not have otherwise. At least Picasso's works have actual meaning, but some current paintings are literally bullshit. I understand people wanting to see technical skills. In fact, artistic preferences change from time to time precisely because people are tired of it, so it wouldn't be strange to go back to realistic artworks again in a few decades.

Given that humanity trends towards takeing the easier road it's more likely that the digital art will become the new haute de couture... or what ever that crap is called.
Drawing normally is a dying art in it self sadly

Let me tell you a secret about the art world: Those plain white canvases that sell for millions at auction? They don't sell for that much because the ultra-rich are really into dadaism, they sell for that much because the ultra-rich hate paying taxes.

 

[SuccubusLover69]

I wonder when the entire game is gonna be finished.

 

[trash.can.1815]

why are y'all discussing art, lol

Everybody hates paying taxes, we just do because we have to .

Most likely, but what I mean is that the art, even if it's digital, will change again. Eternally flowing, like the ocean of time.

 

[Lewyn Collins]

I just casually found that reply and threw my opinion, no idea about the others.

 

[babykeem]

the game will take a while to come out so people just kind of chill here discussing shit

I was reffering to the "unique art" that had been auctioned off on the internet recently for some crap, when an A.I. mixed pixels in some algorythm and called it "Art"
