62 Artist: Marios Prassinos (Greek, 1916–1985)
Title: Une maladie mortelle - Mort de Don Juan, 1935
Medium: Oil on Panel
Size: 46 x 33 cm. (18.1 x 13 in.)

More abstract than surrealist, at least at his [French-language] WikiArt page. I see this one is the earliest -- 1935 -- so I guess he changed his mind. [One cubist -- I think -- one too in 1946.]

115 I'll give the artist a bit of a pass:

"Prassinos volunteered for military service in 1940, was seriously wounded and later received the Croix de Guerre (Cross of War). He also worked with the French Resistance during World War II, helping Allied soldiers escape Nazi-occupied France."

Posted by: Tuna at July 08, 2024 09:56 AM (oaGWv)

116 Let's just say I'm not a fan. That this painting, and the artist's other works, is worthy of respect is one of many reasons I think the art world of the last century is a pretty much a lost cause. I don't care about the supposed 'intellectual' allusion. If I want to see a disgusting, horrifying image I'll watch a Biden appearance.

I'm not saying the artist is a bad person. He worked with the French underground during WW II and earned the Croix de Guerre. It's the mindset that accepts the hideous that makes me sick.

Pardon me while I go look at some John Constable landscapes or Low Country still lifes.

130 Dvontaye Mitchell, 43, died in front of the Hyatt Regency[...]

Police said Mitchell caused a disturbance inside the hotel. Witnesses said he had gone into the women's room, made threats, and was tackled by security.

He died minutes later.According to family members, Mitchell struggled with mental health issues.

Leftists: Why are the police [sic] always killing black men!!!

150 Orwell wrote in his critique of Dali's autobiography that he was a completely disgusting human being and should have never been allowed to emigrate to the US, or be tolerated anywhere. He never really specified exactly why, other than to obliquely note that Dali was pre-occupied with cannibalism and necromancy and dead bodies and other really sick shit. In other words, you probably SHOULD be checking under this guys floorboards.

"Art for Art's sake", and why the binary choice often allowed is incorrect. He says it is a mistake to discount the fact that disturbed people can be very good at some things. Orwell points out, why does the West give someone a pass, on say murder or cannibalism, just because they are a good dancer or whatever?

Simply rejecting all of their works isn't sufficient. The latest iteration might be Mike Jackson, late of the Jackson 5. Everybody knew he was a kiddie fucker, but he's so talented!

I think Orwell was right. Manson wasn't too good on guitar, but he could write. I can envision a scenario where, if he weren't *completely* insane, he would have had quite a successful career in the music business.

211 Le mort de Don Juan (1935) - Mario Prassinos

In the first half of the 20th century Western classical composers pushed tonality to its limits and then eliminated it, with 12 tone serialism being a logical conclusion. In 20th century art a similar progression, at least to me, occurred with "reality" based imagery pushed aside for ever increasing abstract/conceptual imagery. The skill of Prassinos is obvious, but like 12 tone compositions, the sum of the parts often leave me cold or in the case of 12 tone running for the exits. My sensibilities about 20th century classical art/music prefer other styles and for me I find these to be more of carnival sideshow freaks that are the result mutant evolution.

224 201 He is doing a GREAT job. Too bad we didn't get this at the debate. But we are where we are, and it's time to rally behind Joe and beat the shit out of Donald Trump.

i just turned it on and its replaying. His voice and his laugh are refreshing.

Best was Joe saying come to the Convention and challenge me! He is calling out the Doubting Dems. Kicking ass and taking names. Then Rev Al called orange guy out. Said to put down your donut and come out the house.

I like to take a quick look at the picture and then guess what the comments will be. I usually get a couple. Called the Horde mind, I guess.

But today was a real stumper. I knew the bush would be mentioned, I just didn't know how. I did not guess German shrubbery and the like, for instance.

There is a lot to comment on, but it was anyone's guess on how the conversation would go.

I think the painting is absolutely horrifying, but it's a great conversation piece!

This is the only way things have even a chance of being successful. It isn't an attack on blacks or females or anybody - only that the Left, in the current vessel of the Democrat party, has only a single criteria - reliable political views. Nothing else matters.

This is correct. Western Europe is done. I cannot see any way to undo the damage without a for real cataclysm that wrecks the entire continent, and results in the kind of population exchanges seen after WW2.
Eastern Europe and the Balkans are holding the line, and that's about all that's left. England is irreparable.
The others have reached the tipping point.
