It’s another thread where people just get to say things are shit, just yet more philistinism - tiresome.
If you don’t like something (and I am not referring to you @IdleRich cos you don’t do this) don’t call it shit, just allow others to enjoy it.

Yeah I saw some of his water lilies at the National Gallery, really abysmal aesthetic sense and compositionWeird though, looking at monet online now its better than in person. almost like the backlit screen is the better medium for the light experimentation he's doing.

But. And this might be difficult for you to understand. They are not shit. I am sorry if youve never got to sit in the Orangerie and see the magnificence that is the water lilies by Monet. If you’ve never got a chance to see Liberty Leading the People or the Raft of Medusa, the Dance to the Music of Time, Chardin’s still lives or Degas’ pictures of Paris or Ingres’ Napoleon. That is your loss don’t go dump a great negation on them. It is silly, tiresome and quite frankly ridiculous. There is a current philistine strand on the board that thinks it’s being iconoclastic, I’d prefer it to stop.No it's not
It's a thread where people get to say French things are shit, because they are, and it's important we break the strange hypnotic grip that region of Europe has on the rest of the world's cultural production
