When the artist starts painting objects in his own studio, he probably needs some sort of intervention.

I've told this joke before: an artist's model shows up at his studio one morning.
"I've got an awful headache and don't feel like painting," the artist said, "but why don't you sit with me and have a cup of coffee before you go?"
The model brews a pot and the two are just about to sit down when someone pounds on the studio door.
"Oh, my God, it's my wife!" the artist yells to the model. "Quick, take your clothes off!"

If only we had some sort of process for that. You know, like the person at the top had to go through some sort of "elective" campaign where they try to convince the country that they should be trusted. Too bad that we didn't have one of those with Trump. That way a far more qualified candidate might have been able to beat him to the position.

Saw a John Schindler tweet that Intelligence Community (IC) was withholding info from Trump because he couldn't be trusted or something.
One might think, well, Schindler is ex IC, so maybe he is just talking out of his butt. But I would think that the IC would be out front and center saying everything that guy just said is bullshit, we take the security of this country very seriously and we would never shirk our duty for any reason.
But, no, they aren't. Instead, they let that sit out there, and someone, either explicitly in the IC or not, is abetting that talk. Because they want to seem more important than they really are, or they are assholes, or any number of other reasons.
The impression I have now is that their little butthurt feelings are more important than my life. Yeah, well snowflake, I don't pay you to be in a snit and snivel.

I went to the Brandywine Museum of Art over the weekend. It's a great little museum, focusing on the Wyeth family - which isn't just NC, Andrew & Jamie. NC had very talented daughters & a son in law who were artists, too. Maybe we can see some of their work in a future thread?Posted by: josephistan
Yes, it's a great little museum. I especially enjoyed seeing the NC stuff. Of course Andrews stuff was good, Jamie, not impressed.
So many prints for sale, too. I think it's impossible not to leave without one.
For people in the upper Delaware, lower Pennsylvania area it's impossible not to identify with a lot of the scenes depicted.
Not sure if CBD would be a fan.

Jasper Johns is an artist. He certainly works hard at it, and has skill, and there is very little navel-gazing pomposity in his work.
And while "Savarin" may not be great, I find it pleasant and amusing to look at, which is far more than I think of most modern art.

Talk to the voters of Arizona. They just sent him back to the senate last year.
And when you're done there, you can give me a good talking to for not derailing Lindsey Graham in SC even though he's arguably the single most powerful politician in the state.

I honestly think they overplayed their hand this time because transcripts of the conversations are going to come out and I think they will prove that absolutely nothing happened. If the left had any proof they would have used it already in their attempt to destroy Trump.

I actually used that on a friend right after the election. He's a lefty, and we share Star Trek, but he couldn't let politics go in the immediate aftermath. He was acting very worried, so I told him, "Look, I know Mark Sanford. I'll make sure that you and your family stay out of the camps."
He laughed and dropped the subject. We haven't discussed politics since, but I think I defused some of his anxiety with it.

The development of photography had a lot to do with it. Painters no longer felt tethered to realism. They didn't want to do what a camera can do much more quickly and accurately.

Oh, I think it's way bigger than that. I suppose styles have changed over the centuries, with trends being somewhat enforced by patrons and all that, but really, when art is driven forward, it's almost always due to artist in the driver's seat.
Now, what influenced the artists? Was it photography? Was it politics? The industrialization of the world? War? Technology? Ease of travel? The rise of leftism?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, and a thousand things more, yes.
And yet still, it's the artist themselves. All those factors needed the people who pushed the art world into the direction they did.

The logic of retail groceries is that you make your money on beer and wine, at least out here in the West..
Refusing to sell a well liked product is cutting your own throat, especially if you can be shown, as a retailer, by doing so you dislike the strongly held values of your customers who can go somewhere else.
Further, it is only virtue signalling since no-one thinks Trump makes any significant amount of his income from his own wine

I think it goes beyond that. No one person is responsible for where we are and just removing a couple individuals isn't going to fix it.
It is, as it's always been, a fundamental decision of who runs the country, the people or the government. We've allowed over time the government to take on a role they were never designed to hold, our master. We've got to get back to a point where everyone or at least an overwhelming majority understand that we the people run the government and it works for us.

Nowadays, lots of artists have the skill to duplicate the Old Masters style, but that's only profitable as cheap reproductions - or, for those of lower moral fiber, the art forgery market.
Of course, some painters are of such rare skill that their canvasses can't be well duplicated - Vermeer is a good example. Fakes of his well-known paintings are usually easy to detect as fakes, and the guy who made his bones doing fake Vermeers (Han Van Meegeren) made up 'new' paintings from whole cloth and passed them off as early Vermeers to explain the less sophisticated technique.

Photography, in theory, can be used to create art but I think it's more difficult to do so for several reasons. I believe most photographers are too interested in the technical aspects of using the camera to give the scene enough consideration. They may get a shot that is 'interesting' but I don't regard it as art. I've made some artistic photos that would qualify, judging by peoples' reactions, but it isn't easy.
A painter can rough in a scene, make endless corrections to meet his desires, then spend huge amounts of time refining the final image. The photographer has to have everything in place before using the camera. Imagine "Night Watch" as a photo project: arranging the people, their outfits and accessories, posing them, arranging the desired lighting, framing the shot, choosing the camera and type of film to capture the scene as envisaged, and so forth.
The times I've done successful 'art' photos required the willingness to create the scene in my head, arrange everything repeatedly to match my thoughts, etc. I don't believe most photographers want to take that kind of time or trouble and that limits them. And with the advancement of digital photography, the user seems more content to let the camera do the 'work'. Another limitation.

True. Creative people want to do things differently from the way they have been done before. It's not that the early 20th century painters lacked skill - they didn't want to do traditional landscapes and portraits.
(Of course, I'm not sure you can say that about 21st century artists. I don't know what kind of technical training they get - maybe they really can't draw to save their lives.)

Yep. Look at how all of the agencies are reacting not just the intelligence community. They are almost all in open revolt from the EPA to the Department of Education to HHS, they truly believe that they are in charge of the government and they will attempt to crush anyone who tries to upset the natural order.
Draining the swamp won't be successful if all Trump does is chop a few heads. There needs to be fundamental reordering of things where these career bureaucrats are made to understand that they serve the duly elected government and if they won't comply then they need to leave or they will be made to leave.

Check out the movie Art School Confidential.
There's a scene where, in a first year art class, our main character is given a task to draw a portrait. He draws it straight with pencil. When he comes to class, every other student has drawn them in a variety of styles, but none classically.
Everyone heaps praise on every portrait except the classically done one by our main character. They tear it apart for being, if memory serves, pompous and egotistical.

Art is, simply, a vision of the transcendent captured in media. Its not simply the image its self, but what you see beyond and through it which is greater than the image or our ordinary lives that makes it art. Modern art is mostly about evoking emotion, which is sophistry in media, its just empty emotional manipulation without content or meaning.

Another thing that occurred to me later was the role glass windows played in painting and art. Handmade Glass for windows was either stained or if clear, rippled and wavy. Looking through a glass window in Rembrandt's home turned the landscape outside into an impression of landscape, a landscape through a prism. I think impressionists basically went with this when painting. I think this is true with Monet and Van Gogh palette heavy stuff.

It was the usual.

Followed by disgust, patronizing and invective because we didn't agree to her totally obvious and factual mindthoughts, you see. And the "pulling rank" via educational status because we're all high school dropouts or something.

I missed that day, but I'm guessing she was expecting some sort of indirect discussion that one might get somewhere like Fox News, where there is a lot of Trump hate right now, BTW. She was probably expecting "moderate democrats" and actually got Honey Badger.
Probably had no idea there were things like socks used here, and that this can be a rough room. Not because everyone is mean, but because there's a very low level of tolerance for liberal stupidity.

There were ALWAYS Soviet "fishing trawlers" off Cape Kennedy back in the day."
Saw one myself there in the late 80s. Challenger was on the launchpad, my dad and I were on a deep sea fishing boat, and there was an American nuclear sub in Port Canaveral. Got outside the harbor, and there's a "fishing trawler".
A couple of jets came by and flew over it a little bit later.
Didn't catch any fish that day, but damn.

So she learned we don't trust anthropologists who treat us like a previously unknown tribe.

"So she learned we don't trust anthropologists who treat us like a previously unknown tribe."
A relative in journalism had one of those benign-sounding "we must learn more about the people who voted for Trump" posts on social media, but when anyone engaged it quickly devolved into the ism/ist/phobe generalizations that some have a very hard time seeing are every bit as bigoted as what they ascribe to the people they so label.
I said avoiding "Meade does Samoa" might be a more helpful approach for anyone actually interested in learning anything about the people they supposedly wanted to "dialogue" with, and received a dramatic private message to the effect that I was a blood traitor who was stalking her for the purpose of relentless bullying.
I used to respond to about one in a dozen of her posts, if that.
Unfollowed.
