Frank Frazetta vs Norman Rockwell

[linebaugh]

You see this with the kind of art that goes viral these days. It obviously takes skill, but it's often stuff like timelapse footage of someone doing a photorealistic portrait of Chadwick Boseman.

I just saw an instagram vid of woman who does photo realistic tattoos of john wick and the joker and things like that and she'll book end the videos with her going 'would you let a woman tattoo you?'

mr tea is a bald literalist he dont understand subtext and that sort of thing.

The type to make the hebephillia distinction

Is being a high artist about something formal/material, or is it simply about sticking to the subject matter that's traditionally deemed 'high'?

Norn dont have a soul plus hes a pedo. Fanzettta has the soul of a 7 year old boy.

Can't say I entirely approve of this trend of saying obviously moronic things and then following up with an accusation of being a "literalist."

Version you should make this your pfp

There's another bloke I learned about recently, can't remember his name, but he did loads of stuff for magazines and comics with soldiers and gangsters and cowboys, guys fighting tigers in the jungle, and stuff like that.

He's called Mort Kunstler.

There's an insane cover for a magazine called MALE. A real historical artifact.

bit ott shooting dogs, clocked it was a hyena and somehow such a point made the act less wicked

got distracted by the dog/hyena culling, his characteristic goofyness, teeth and irksome smile

Do you like Photorealists like Chuck Close and Ralph Goings?

Never heard of them

A cursory glance - it's extraordinary how close to (indistinguishable from) photography they have managed to make paint.

But I can't say I find this stuff particularly interesting beyond the trick of it.

It seems at least on a scant acquaintance with it to be about removing the visible impression of the artists vision and imagination from painting.

Again, useful for bringing into focus what is so great about Van Gogh, Munch, Turner, BLAKE (who I saw some stuff by today at Tate Britain) etc.

Richter seems to have done some interesting stuff with photorealism, by subverting or dispelling the illusion with blurring and so on

theyve moved the blake downstairs its probably better now.
