angy 5,950 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I like the first one Idk m8, seeing paintings irl feels different than seeing pictures of them so i like texture, bold colors and the meaning or history behind it rather than actual technique hmm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some art works were considered as non-worthy at all when they were created but now they are well-known masterpieces and their price increased 1000%. One of the best examples - impressionist paintings. The painting of Monet that was sold for 25 francs in 1876 was re-sold for 25000 in 1903, and now it costs millions.

Basquiat is hit or misses. there are nice ones, I can't deny that, that suck you in but overall, I prefer simplicity and beauty over complexity plus, old paintings teach us how old people used to live, their landscape, fashion. I mean you can even conclude racist/Marxist ideas in some paintings (for example how they portray rich people vs poor people or people of color). You can learn a lot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to love it but you need to understand the meaning behind it to judge P.S. Also Monet is an impressionist, not expressionist.
