Before. 1912, I think. He remembered this work in a letter to his wife during the War and wondered if it was a premonition. He was killed in action soon after.

Kris, maybe I just a heretic but why is it necessary that the viewer understand the context of any given piece of art to fully appreciate it?
Is it not okay to simply look at it and decide good/bad based on what I can determine of the artist's skill.
But honestly, I am a simple man.

Interestingly, the greek words often translated as "pale horse" can sometimes be read as "green horse". Given the contexts, I suspect the artist was aware of this.

It's totally OK to enjoy or not enjoy a piece without context. I do it all the time.
.
For me, I really like the stories behind the piece. I am a Traditionalist/Classicist by taste, but I love German Expressionism Pre/Post WWI precisely because of the historical context. If you see my name, feel free to skip over my BS. No hard feelings.

No, but. The point of the art thread is that a bunch of morons say it's pretty or not pretty. But sometimes y'all get talking about Jesus and Elijah and that sort of context.
In this one I immediately felt the War. It's hard to imagine that this was done before it started because of the horror involved. The thing about artists, though, is that sometimes their antennae are more closely tuned to the world than ours. The Expressionists could feel the world ripping apart.
Now I'm going to do a Kris thing. Let's read this painting the way you read a page, from left to right.
The colors start off primary, the animals are angry, there are streaks of blood. The animal in the middle may be mourning. Everything on the right is rust, devoid of life and color.
There is so much going on in this, and no, none of you mopes could have painted it.

Gaslighting is horrible no matter who does it - your parents, your church, your woman, the media, the culture. And I've been gaslit by them all. You have to constantly reality-test if you want to keep any vestige of sanity or grounding. It's really fucking difficult and it seems to get more difficult by the day.

Suspect a lot of those high-end art auctions are just dick-swinging contests for millionaires. Bounce a mediocre painting around between a few members of the club, and inflate the price (not the value!) to some obscene number, and when the music stops, the winner donates to a museum, and takes the tax deduction. Only real winner is the auction house.

Sure it is. If you're a parent you approach the schools and lobby for history to be taught in a more thorough manner . If they refuse (my kids school transferred them to a teacher who did a better job), then you supplement the stupidity with history. My kids both received additional instruction from us and from books and programs. Then they both took history in college, one school demanded it, one really didn't but it was an elective.

I hope this includes the Chinese students, but I think that the corporate types want them to keep infiltrating. They are getting a lot of help from the universities. Kid 2 works in DC, has had the staff from the alma mater try to insist there is an obligation to place foreigners in government internships. May the universities who do this burn.

Some of the artists and other sensitives did, as this painting shows. The Elites were giddy with confidence, especially the Ruling Classes - that's why they marched into it all with no second thoughts.
In hindsight, one of the most poignant/tragic bits of film to watch are clips of the Funeral of King Edward VII in London, in 1910. It was the most magnificent funeral ever stage, maybe that ever will be staged. At least 10 Kings and Emperors were in attendance, and members of over 70 different Royal Families, and half a million people viewed the procession. Over the top in every possible way - and not a single one of the notables realized that it was THEIR Funeral, the funeral of their families, their nations, their culture. It was all about to be swept away.

Expressionism is a Thing. Many artists in many genres felt that the world was coming apart.
No, prescient does not mean that they knew a Serbian hippie was going to shoot an Austrian manikin and that the hereditary upper classes of Europe were going to casually toss everyone's babies into an inferno.
They did know that something was up. You're all seen Munch's "Scream", even if only as a Halloween mask. That's 1898.

1917 was good
but after I watched a clip where the director explained that it was based on stories from his dad then I got it
it wasn't meant to show the war as it was, but to share how he as a kid (and all kids) lived the war thru their grandparents recollections
very much a visual history cognate to oral history
also, you vets - tell the kids your stories (in an appropriate way of course)
that's important

But prescience means a little bit more than just having a feeling that "something is up". Hell, by that definition every commenter here is prescient. Most of us though, are not.
I tend to think that this particular artist was representing past and present (albeit in abstract terms) more than future. The prescience notion is probably fueled by the fact that he died in the war, thus enabling a narrative to emerge after the fact.

It reminds me of a shameful moment in US History, during the great 1927 floods (greatest ever) when New Orleans city officials dynamited the levees below their city in the hope it would take pressure off of them. It didn't, but it did guarantee that all of the parishes below them were annihilated.

Now, God be thanked who has matched us with his hour,
And caught our youth, and wakened us from sleeping!
With hand made sure, clear eye, and sharpened power,
To turn, as swimmers into cleanness leaping,
Glad from a world grown old and cold and weary;
Leave the sick hearts that honor could not move,
And half-men, and their dirty songs and dreary,
And all the little emptiness of love!
Oh! we, who have known shame, we have found release there,
Where there's no ill, no grief, but sleep has mending,
Naught broken save this body, lost but breath;
Nothing to shake the laughing heart's long peace there,
But only agony, and that has ending;
And the worst friend and enemy is but Death

Some kollidges are closing their Confucious Institutes, which is a good thing. They've been a nest of commie infiltration for a long time.
It's been interesting to watch the leftards go back and forth trying to decide whether we even have enemies or trying to designate Russia as our biggest threat when it appears that China is the one we should be focused on. And by "interesting" I mean a train wreck of inanity.
It's also good that Amash will soon be out of Congress, since he's a big ChiCom booster. DiFi should be targeted by the GOPe for defeat since she had a ChiCom spy in her employ for years, something that PROGDA covers well. With a pillow until it doesn't move.

,
The book The War That Ended Peace dwells on that a bit. The last "big" wars had been the Franco-Prussian and Russo-Japanese Wars; after that, the various crises such as Fashoda or Morocco had looked as though, were arms to be involved, to be short, controllable little brush fires. So while the Great Powers knew something was coming - "some damned thing in the Balkans" - most everyone expected it to be short, contained and over in a few weeks, at which point the march of human progress could continue.

About 27 years ago I had a very specific dream about an event that would have been extraordinarily unique, and wholly unexpected. When I woke, I even looked in the papers to see if it had actually happened, or if I had just dreamed it.
In my dream, I pictured EXACTLY what it would have looked like, if it HAD occurred. It had not.
About 2 weeks later, the exact event happened. And the exact details were in the paper.
My wife is the only would who could confirm that this thing had occurred as it did. And she's dead now.
So... all I can say is, I've never had anything remotely like this happen in my life, and I don't recall ever even having anything happen like it that DIDN'T come true.
Still, I just chalk it up as a remarkable coincidence.

A lot of Princeton carries the names of Witherspoon or Nassau. Nobody will ever be "pure" enough from the left except the left. Keep the names and clobber the left is a better choice, but I suspect Princeton will cave.

I don't think Mercantilism properly describes anti-China trade policies.
"Free Trade" with China isn't actual free trade, because China uses every trick in the book (currency manipulation, subsidy, dumping, intellectual property theft, etc.) to stack the deck in its favor.
China is cancer. Cancer needs to be cut out.

And that could have started the Great War, but it didn't.
Everybody, in retrospect, thought they were all right about The Great War, but most people were wrong.
A very interesting and lengthy book, entitled "The War of the World", by Niall Ferguson, takes a different approach to why The Great War happened, and why WWII followed.
A lot of people of brains and ability DID NOT see The Great War coming.

Yep, at this point the data is so corrupt and has been through so many hands we will never know the actual death toll from the virus.
One of the County coroners said they counted an acute alcohol death as covid. IIRC that was in Collin County.
At this point in time I trust nothing coming from any Government agency in regards to the virus. And I suspect that Gov. abbott finally figured that out too when he said he will not do another lock down after those news reports from Austin and San Antonio double and triple counting cases of the virus.
Plus South Dakota had the big 4th of July Trump event and their numbers have been falling ever since even though the media was screaming Trump is going to kill everyone by holding that event.

Mexico and the rest of the 3rd world is going through a kind of techno version of what western Europe went through just after Rome fell. A lot of the cities and systems were still in place, but the government wasn't. And so local tough guys took it's place - today's Cartel leaders are not much different than the Feudal Lords of a previous era.

This was actually one of the factual contra-arguments that Ferguson went into with great detail, to show how a lot of people were blind to what was going to happen.
He makes some interesting demographic arguments to show how inevitable some kind of large struggle was going to happen, just the scale of which was unknown.
Again, these sorts of facts were not known to the leadership of pre-War Europe. A lot of the Empires were going to fracture for demographic reasons, which seem very clear in retrospect.

Yes, and while I find these types of commie actions irritating, it pales in comparison to how they own many of our politicians, media corps, and have many titans of industry in their back pockets.
Not to mention using university researchers to basically spy for them. So student groups are relatively minor on the spy front.

And military "experts" were blind as well - they were all thinking it was going to be a replay of the Franco-Prussian War of 1871, in large part because they had dismissed the American War as just "two mobs chasing each other around the country".
But in fact, by 1865, the American Civil War was using trench warfare, mass artillery bombardments, and better and better weaponry - including submarines and ironclad naval vessels' - with casualty rates that soared to levels never seen before. All things that would dominate the "Great War" 50 years later.

The trouble with classes like this is they convince midwits that they're Management Material because they have a piece of paper that says they learned something with 'Analysis' in the title. I've seen this over and over again in my industry-- guy goes to an OSHA class, or FMRA or whatever it's called, and sure as shit, next week he's on the supervisor conference call demanding new paperwork and process documentation that we don't need.

Yep, and they need to be effective to what you're trying to protect against.

Eh, better to just lighten up, it's all bullshit so just say "whatever" to anything. If they want to think it's a magic talisman against micro-demons, fine. This isn't science, it's magic, and people like to hang onto their majic wubbies because it makes them feel in emotional control of an uncontrollable, chaotic situation.

Now in 2020, the testing seems to be flawed and some are deliberately fudging the numbers. But the death toll is still far below that of 1918-1919 and the population is three times what it was then.

The NBA is also now a wholly-owned subsidiary of ChiCom Inc. They can move over there for all I care. I stopped watching them some years ago. Same goes for Disney and the rest of PROGDA.
Which reminds me, perhaps it's time that PROGDA got renamed to better reflect who they really are and what they really do, namely spread ChiCom anti-American propaganda. Can't think of anything right now because more cofveve. Suggestions from the Moron Horde are always welcomed.

Someone ran a story about Chicom contributions to political campaign, Dem and Rep. There are many.
Of course there are others who are in the pockets of Saudis and Iranians, but I'm guessing there's lots of overlap there, folks who get cash from China and the others. Double dipping, so to speak.

I agree. You can't argue with the delusional fearful. My husband wears an N95 in the backyard when alone. If it allows him to leave the house, there's nothing to gain by logic.

Not to mention the massive number of non-verbal communication cues that you get through facial movement.
If the choice is "in-person wearing a mask" or "on the phone," then I would rather talk on the phone. At least then everything isn't muddy and both parties are aware that they are on the phone and do things like enunciate and provide audible cues (like a sharp intake of breath, a non-word vocalization, etc.).

My wife was on board with that nonsense, but, it wore thin and she also realized it was nothing more than a political scam.
Now, she puts on her mask grudgingly.

I propose we tell people they need to soak their masks in freshly captured bull urine.

once you capture the bull, how do you make him pee while he's still fresh?

This work is both beautiful and tragic. The hope that Marc once saw in
nature is completely gone by this point, and the coming apocalypse of
WWI obliterates any purity the world had left. I love this piece.

Kris, I found this work after the thread you did on Marc's Cats a few weeks ago. Marc truly suffered for his art. Understanding what was going on in his life makes me appreciate this work so much...
