15 (Pretty Big) Differences Between Good Art and Bad Art

— "GOOD ART CLARIFIES THE MIND AND HINTS AT FORGOTTEN VALUES. GOOD ART IS MAN'S DIVINE RIGHT AND TERRIBLE DUTY. THE WHINING, COPING, HAM SANDWICH RACE WISHES TO DESTROY THE CANON."

this feels fascist

this is basically the nazi obsession with removed art (the fact it was removed implies worse words than what I actually said)

If "Hints at Forgotten Values" and "Believes in, and tries to produce, beauty" weren't enough then "Good art is man's divine right and terrible duty" should remove all doubt. Its most definitely Fasch.
On the offchance anyone doesn't know, it's the word that's the opposite of regenerate

One time I recommended Uncut Gems to a coworker, and she gave it a shot. She said it was the most bizarre film she had ever seen and it was completely contrary to her values.

I asked what she meant, she told me she thought Howard was going through a redemption arc. That he'd eventually see the error of his ways after winning the basketball gamble and go around to everyone he wronged to apologize, hand them money, and then convert to Christianity (yes she said this). She told me she felt weird for days after seeing it. I think she's more used to watching creepy evangelical propaganda movies.

So that's what this guy reminds me of

convert to Christianity (yes she said this)
mf thought it was A Christmas Carol meets Merchant of Venice
Hallmark Movies be like

How are these losers still crying about Duchamp's fountain over 100 years later?

People still get absolutely furious at it decades later, so Im going to go ahead and say it's good art
- The ironic thing is that since the fountain exists to question what counts as art, any critique of it that frames it as bad art has already conceded that Duchamp is right.

Long way to say that according to them, good art conforms to their biases, while bad art challenges them.

I'd argue it's the opposite. Good art should challenge the way you think, it should be capable of making you uncomfortable.

Uhm epSCUSE me, it is actually Very Important to have Good Art as it can only be produced and appreciated by superior* (*western, male) beings such as myself, see below for an important example

That is legit a great sculpture too. Cloth is extremely difficult to sculpt.
- It's technically very impressive, and the artist is obviously very skilled, but I don't think it's good in terms of being interesting art
Good art is when
also I don't understand why I would have to fight or die for that statue. Maybe I'm an idiot here but if you want more sculptures how about instead of killing people make statues
- I think they mean fight and die for booba
- Ah, but you see, if the ~~Asiatic Hordes~~ ~~Judeo-Bolsheviks~~ Cultural Marxists win, there will be no one superior* (*western, male) left to build such statues!
Classic
Calling myself Dark Triad man because I piss the bed

every single descriptor for "good art" makes the most sense if you're thinking it's talking about porn lmao. i wonder if the author would agree?

Produces Momentum

Good Art^TM solving entropy.

Real kino art is back on the menu boys.

Hell yeah. Makes me feel weird. Confuses my mind. Spit on beauty. Weed. Perfect image. 10 out of 10.

Some twisted, malevolently bad cartographer somewhere:

:sicko-yes: i'm making this map wrong on purpose

Pokemon GO players editing Open Street Map

A seething, unstructured, arythmic thing that made you feel weird, sapped your energy, set off a downward spiral, confused your mind, spat on beauty, mocked the very concept of values and enfeebled life itself? That is not bad art. That is a Great Old One.

Beyond a certain level of intensity, ambition, and drive, of course "normal" people will start squirming around you. Elon knows this and has made his peace with it a long time ago

Only Ayn Rand was smart enough to predict that incompetence and an ENVY for excellence will lead to dystopian social outcomes.

It's amazing that Jordan Peterson delivered his most based material inside a fucking university.
And now that he has infinite wealth he can only deliver platitudes.

I have to stop, this could go on forever

It's amazing that Jordan Peterson seemed slightly more normal when surrounded by peers and held to some level of accountability (not much)
Oh but now that he's much more wealthy and unaccountable to anyone suddenly his life falls apart. Weird
It has to be satire.
Right?

makes you feel weird

Waaah, all art must exist as shallow, uplifting slop!

mocks the concept of values

How dare an artist endeavour to make something that questions my values!

I am "instinctively recognized as a scam".

Only thing that really fits is NFTs.

Idk, that was my experience of Pilgrim's Progress
- I really enjoyed it other than the one bit about the Ethiopian

It sucks that perspective, color theory, light logic, and anatomy don't exist anymore. I wish it took even less than a single google search to find art tutorials, artists with open commissions, and professional artists posting their work on instagram. This is coming from the same jokesters who deride people for studying art for their occupation. This is a funny one because it doesn't even feel like they're saying poor or queer people shouldn't exist, this is just them being uninformed hypocrites straight up.
Edit: Noticing that Fun with a Pencil (Pain with a Pencil), came out in 1939. Loomis' work has been wildly influential on how people do figure drawing/portrait drawing but somehow standards were decreasing and continued to decrease despite his influence in the realm of "art"
The world was created in 1800.
1859 had so many fucking bangers
Lord give me the confidence of PragerU when they make these graphs. They know their audience is a bunch of clapping seals who will unquestioningly believe this affront to knowledge as a concept.
Art reduced to personal expression
Damn I wonder how and why that happened :pollock-cia-cool:
"despues de altamira todo es decadencia" "after altamira all is decadence" missatributted to picaso.

I'm Bad Art making you feel weird rather than good.

Is that picture good art?

I'm UNSTRUCTURED AND OBSESSIVELY ANTI-RHYTHM

I'M COPING. I'M SEETHING. I'M A WASTE OF TIME.

oh is there a picture in this post? haven't seen it

I'm destroys the canon

Hayao Miyazaki vs Junji Ito is my favorite meme too, but you don't see me going around generalizing it.

I think this does a disservice to Miyazaki. He's a snob and you can criticize the writing quite easily, but he at least appreciates the connection of animation to one's experience of life rather than as an abstract exercise in pleasant stimulation.

i'm MAKES YOU FEEL WEIRD

I'm weed

Do they consider the abstract artists who were backed by the CIA art? That's really the main thing this makes me curious about.

So we agree, Pregnant Vegeta is good art.

I never agreed to that. Don't hold me to that.
- Too late, it's on the blockchain.

The only real difference between good art and bad art, if there is such a distinction, is whether the art is revolutionary or reactionary. Art that serves revolutionary politics is good while art that wallows in some reactionary nonsense is bad. It's quite telling that values has to either be hinted at or mocked, leaving little room for openly politicized art. Could it be that this loser has reactionary ideas but understands that those reactionary ideas can't be openly expressed so they must be hinted at?

Nah, great art transcends the binary of revolutionary or reactionary
- One could argue that great art has to have some level of creativity. And thus by deffinition cant be reactionary.
  Even if a reactionary makes good art. The art has to have creativity in that sense the art is no longer reactionary.
Where can I learn more about reactionary in this sense?
- I guess a lot of black metal artists are just outright nazis. Though to be real here, metal seems to be one of the rare occasions fascists can do art. Usually they put out shit.

ART CANNOT BE QUANTIFIED. Whatever joyless turd made this chart needs their soul examined.

What is "bulletproof coffee"? Is it just some fascist coffee company or something else?

Just looked this up.
Apparently it's a thing some people who are trying to skip breakfast do where they dump unsalted butter in their coffee.
- Like the mongols do with tea and tallow? Thats prety cool.
- which is apparently what Leonardo Da Vinci was trying to convey

A lot of the bad column describes Nier Automata

(But in a good way? Art is supposed to be many things; provocative and thought inducing as expression of the human condition is worth remembering.)

Some art is very good but as a person that wants to be happy I don't really like sad stories that are also good.
Can you think of art that made you cry but appreciated it's introduction to your life?

I'm a malevolenty bad map

Put me down under whining, coping, and seething

A malevolently bad map

I don't like those Balkanization fantasy maps either.

I wonder how this guy feels about David Lynch

Fuming with rage as he watches Lost Highway:
"This is a malevolent, bad map!"

dude is a pro at making site taglines

[16. Gives its old man] [A cold one] [grief]

I'm "SETS OFF A DOWNWARD SPIRAL"

Also, this feels like a personal attack on my art.

IDK, maybe he just really hated Uzumaki.
Maybe his next list will have "MAKES YOU WALK INTO YOUR HOLE" as a criteria for bad art.
Also on Trent Reznor

I'm weed

I'm a malevolently bad map.

I'm wishes to destroy the western cannon

The irony here is that, based off the conclusion’s definition of bad art, the chart itself is bad art.

I AM WEED

I mean who would want to be shitty right wing coffee anyways

I aspire to be WISES TO DESTROY THE CANON

So Hollywood is bad art, got it

The guy who made the chart just thinks it’s because it’s too Jewish or something though
- sigh Why am I not even remotely surprised
Tbf most Hollywood productions are "motivational" slop

is this a tonyzaret alt account

god just like, the one thing that sticks out about this guy, about all the roman statue guys, is how obviously phony it is. like they're preaching a doctrine of universal beauty and nietszchean inner strength but their actual life is desperately trying to craft the 280 character summary of c. s. lewis' theology that will give them lots of followers and likes and eventually let them profitably drop-ship brain supplement powder from taiwan. i'm sorry if you are trying to make twitter your job, you are eating the bugs and living in the pods.
- It's hilarious how un-Nietzscheian this chart is. Upholding the Canon and past values, and this whole retvrn to tradition thing, enfeble, not empower, life. But what's a more classic combo than rightwingers and not getting Nietzsche?
