Tombe la pluie - Theespookje<p>Has populism gone that far to make us forget our will to build, create, tell, move, if it can't be marketed? It also doesn't sit right with me how much it fits the "degenerated art" ambiance that's been slowly getting in the air, alongside of <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a> .<br>As long as people will be allowed to be brainwashed people &amp; ai bots to influence elections for a facist entity, nothing is to be taken lightly.</p><p><a href="https://ohai.social/tags/populism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>populism</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/degenerateart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>degenerateart</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>censorship</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/artcensorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>artcensorship</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/forbiddenbooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>forbiddenbooks</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/bannedbooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bannedbooks</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>capitalism</span></a></p>
Tombe la pluie - Theespookje<p>Would you do that meme with an artistic semi| abstract photo of a woman vs one of a full portrait from your Lidl catalogue because there's more details, colours?<br>There has been a huge resurgence of people deeming art&gt;beauty, accuracy as a criteria, common since modern art appeared on the art scene, but is worrying as an absolute and a society level of art, media and global literacy. <br><a href="https://ohai.social/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>art</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/artdiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>artdiscussion</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/modernart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>modernart</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/abstract" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>abstract</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/abstractart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>abstractart</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/realism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>realism</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/degenerateart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>degenerateart</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/arttaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>arttaste</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/creation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>creation</span></a></p>

Hotspur🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦<p>"Nude Girl Lying on a Sofa," Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, 1909.</p><p>Kirchner (1888-1938) was an influential German Expressionist, the founder of a group called Die Brücke (The Bridge) that sought to move past formal, academic art and experiment with new forms. He volunteered for service in WWI but suffered a mental breakdown and was released. He later relocated to Switzerland, but as the Nazis came to power and declared his work "degenerate," and he feared a Nazi invasion of Switzerland, he took his own life.</p><p>There's a sense of mischief in this woodcut; the girl is guarding her nether parts and giving us only a peep of her breasts, and the smile is naughty. She seems happy it's Friday!</p><p>A lot of Kirchner's work was destroyed by the Third Reich, so let's be grateful this has survived.</p><p>From the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Expressionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Expressionism</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/DegenerateArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DegenerateArt</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/BannedByTheThirdReich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BannedByTheThirdReich</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Woodcut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Woodcut</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ErnstLudwigKirchner" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ErnstLudwigKirchner</span></a></p>
Hotspur🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦<p>"Self Portrait," Käthe Kollwitz, 1890.</p><p>Kollwitz studied at the Munich School for Women Artists, and gained some prominence thanks to her focus on women and the working class, especially depicting the effects of poverty, hunger, and war. She was the first woman elected to the Prussian Academy of Arts.</p><p>She stayed in Germany during WWII; while the Nazis disliked her works, they didn't destroy them and despite threats, never put her in a concentration camp, largely because by then she was internationally famous. She lost many drawings and works in the bombing of Berlin, and died herself just days before the German surrender. </p><p>The poise and confidence she radiates in this selfie (one of many) are amazing to me.</p><p>From the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/WomenArtists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomenArtists</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ArtOfWWII" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArtOfWWII</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/DegenerateArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DegenerateArt</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/SelfPortaits" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfPortaits</span></a></p>
Hotspur🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦<p>"Self-Portrait," Anita Rée, 1930.</p><p>Anita Rée is still little-known today, which is a shame. An independent German during the Weimar period, raised Protestant but part Jewish and part Venezuelan, straddling tradition and Modernism, she had an interesting perspective. Much of her work is haunting and intense and reflects the fears and tension of the time.</p><p>She died by suicide in 1933 when the Nazis took over and declared her work "degenerate." Thankfully, her paintings that were to be taken down and destroyed were hidden away by friends, and restored after the war ended.</p><p>From the Hamburger Kunsthalle, Hamburg.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/WomenArtists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomenArtists</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/DegenerateArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DegenerateArt</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/SelfPortrait" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfPortrait</span></a></p>
