I've always felt Dadaism is where art historians put anyone who worked in the 1900's to post WWI period who wasn't doing classical style works. What is that? Dada. Yup. Yup, yup, yup. Totally Dadaism. Yup, yup.

I try not to stay in my preferred rut, which is pretty obviously Caravaggio, the Dutch Masters, and a few others. So I poke around the web looking for interesting stuff like this one. But there are whole schools that I find unpleasant to look at. And when I have to click on the image and find a description to see whether I am looking at a piece of art or a spoof I know that I have plunged headlong down the art rabbit hole.

As the Impressionism style was exhausted by near end of the 19th century, Cubism came into style.
It ran up through the era of WWI, or The Great War.
Like Alexthechick said, everything that didn't quite match up became Dadaism, which was the art world's middle finger extended to the cultural chaos that began in WWI and extended for quite a while.
Cubism was generally a style that instead of the smeary colorations of Impressionism, enjoyed more stark disconnections of patterns in the painting.

I don't disagree but I compare that phenomenon to Saturday Night Fever. When it was released , the dancing by Travolta was considered cutting edge and only the skilled could copy it. Fast forward 40 years and the most uncoordinated white boy can imitate his moves when making fun of the movie.

I'll eventually see it when it hits Netflix streaming, though from everything I've read it's just terrible, because Aronofsky (whom I keep calling Almodovar) makes interesting movies. Now, mind you, many of them aren't particularly good movies by which I mean most of them are hot messes, but they are interesting and I have a soft spot for interesting failures.
Hmmm. That may be why I keep calling Aronofsky Almodovar, now that I think about it.

Cubism gets a bad rap, by the way, mainly because Braque was full of ideas but a poor technician and Picasso felt he had exhausted the possibilities of the idea and moved on, never looking back.
If you want to see what Cubism can accomplish, study the works of Juan Gris. He made some truly beautiful paintings employing Cubist ideas. Gris was the best of the Cubists, in my view, but died too young.

The "Biblical theme" from what I can tell from what I've read about it is supposed to be a take on sacrifice and redemption but this is a version by someone who is viewing the Bible through a copious amount of acid.
Aronofsky's been playing with what he thinks are religious themes since Pi. He's, you know, horribly wrong in his interpretations though. The weird thing is that I don't think he means to be blasphemous, there's a bizarre streak of solemnity to what he does.
That is all a polite way to say that I think Aronofsky has some mental health issues that color his work and I don't think he knows it.
Also it's the issue of mistaking incoherence for high art. Oh you just don't understand it! You don't get it, man! No, I don't understand it because it's incomprehensible because you lack the talent to make something actually challenging.
Take David Lynch. I maintain my position that Lynch believes he is telling a completely normal narrative because in his head he is. The surrealism is the rest of us are outside of his head.
Black Swan is an incoherent mess of an attempt to portray a mental breakdown that just isn't as deep as Aronofosky thinks it is. Requiem for a Dream mainly succeeds because the medium matches the message.
If we're going to discuss fractured identity, I'll go with Moon over Black Swan any day.

Duchamp looks like he's channeling Georges Rouault and some Maurice de Vlaminck. Fauvism as an "official" movement has a lifespan of about 5 years. But Matisse, its leader, would become one of the two powerhouses of early 20th century Modern art (the other was Picasso).
Fun Fact: It was Matisse that named Cubism because he hated the style.

I know it's not your specialty, but I do greatly respect your opinions.
So let me struggle with trying to put this rather convoluted argument into an understandable format.
Historical revisionism vs "Living in fear if this is not changed"
I am constantly hearing about individuals demanding not just a denunciation of, but a complete erasure of words, and inanimate objects which pose no threat to them, due to a claim that they are unable to function due to a debilitating fear of said words or objects.
And in most cases, we simply recognize these stated fears as a reason to force actions to be taken.
Here is a different way to look at it.
Take them at face value.. Honor their claims of an inability to function.
Is it better to remove every object or written phrase that exists allow a person in mental health crisis to function, or is it not better to face the mental health issue head on, and attempt to help the person to face these objects and words, while mastering their fear of them?
Trying to gain some traction on this with conservative blogs, as it would seem that there is a way to help these people become emotionally stronger, and function more effectively in a non-perfect world, riddled with a sometimes unpleasant history.
Thoughts?

Lynch does movies and TV so he can bankroll his paintings. All he really wants to do is make art, and he's said as much in nearly every interview and documentary I've seen about him. Nothing surreal about that.
Insofar as incoherence is concerned, I don't find Lynch's films incoherent. There's always a logic to his movies, even ones like Eraserhead and Lost Highway. The thing about Lynch is that he knows the truth about art: Art isn't what is hanging on the wall or standing in the round or showing on the screen. Art is what the artist makes happen in the heads and hearts of those experiencing the art. Art is experience.
I love 'The Straight Story', by the way. I think Lynch did a straight-up narrative to show he could.

Duchamp is known as a Cubist, although as I mentioned up the thread this piece looks like someone who is trying to reject the enormous influence of Impressionism, and failing.

I can try.
There seems to be a national movement to remove any trace of past events which offend some individuals.
Most recently seems to be an examination of old historical deeds and covenants which may at the time of their writing prohibit the sale of properties to minorities.
The Supreme court has struck down those provisions as unenforceable years ago.
Yet there is an emerging national trend to not just amend existing deeds to reflect the unconstitutionality, but to completely strike or erase the text from the past documents.
And it is always explained as an individual being in so much fear of these words that they are unable to function. and as such, these words need to be erased from existing documents.
Mind you, we are not talking about for example the 18th and 21st
where one amendment outlaws alcohol, and the other amendment nullifies the first, yet both texts remain on the record.
The demands are such that in effect, it would be identical to the removal of the 18th Amendment from not only any printings, but actually going back, and removing the wording from the original.
I am not addressing the legal issues involved in revisionism.
What I am attempting to address is the basis of the argument that an individual is by their own words, unable to function due to fear of the existence of these words.
And yeh...I really suck at trying to put this into words.

Well, interesting question. I'm no more qualified to answer than anybody else.
In that context I would say that trying to help them come to grips of their fear would not be my priority. I am a big believer in individual autonomy, and that being an adult has both consequences and responsibilities. I tend to reject other peoples' efforts to try to change reality to suit them by making others (including myself) deny tangible facts. Words are just words. They have meaning, but they only have meaning in context. Erasing the words does not erase the meaning, and hiding unpleasant truths does not make them less unpleasant.
Ackk. Maybe someone else can take a shot at this.

I had probably heard of Macke, but I couldn't place him until I looked him up. Found a link with a short bio. So sad. He too died in the War. WWI left a huge artistic vacuum that the next generation, tainted by the War had to fill. This is how we got DADA.

This is my open question:
Imagine a society that continually shifts motherhood into a later and later time frame. Imagine that men produce their healthiest sperm in their early twenties. Imagine that the incidence of autism and Asperger's (A&A) in the offspring rises exponentially with older fathers/sperm providers. Imagine each college campus suddenly now having to deal with hundreds of children with a 'baseline anxiety level approaching panic' - a classic symptom of A&A. Hence the need for 'safe spaces' and 'trigger warnings'. The inability to even consider an opposing point of view on campus - to the extent that violence will occur.
Where is the government funded study to figure out just WTF is going on? Or has the left decided that these A&A individuals are just their ticket to a socialist takeover? This stuff worries me.

Eyewitnesses tell TMZ, Malia was in Harvard Square with a friend. As she approached a salad shop, a woman ran up to her and said she wanted a photo for her grandchild. We're told Malia politely declined.
The grandma was undeterred and staked out the salad joint, waiting for Malia to leave. When she did, we're told the grandma trained her camera on the former First Daughter and Malia fired back, "Are you gonna take it in my face like an animal in a cage?"
An eyewitness said the grandma ended up getting the photo.

their fear would not be my priority. I am a big believer in individual
autonomy, and that being an adult has both consequences and
responsibilities. I tend to reject other peoples' efforts to try to
change reality to suit them by making others (including myself) deny
tangible facts. Words are just words. They have meaning, but they only
have meaning in context. Erasing the words does not erase the meaning,
and hiding unpleasant truths does not make them less unpleasant.
Right on, Muldoon!

There's starting to be some push back that the campus speech codes and conduct rules are a violation of the ADA as those who are neuroatypical do not/cannot abide by or understand those rules.
Now that is the kind of lawfare I favor.

Sort of like "Fahv-(rih)," I guess. True about most Americans. The Chinese and other foreign students I deal with are always surprised when I make an actual effort to learn the correct pronunciation of their names. With one girl, "Rui," I'd been saying "Roo-ee" for the longest time. Then I heard her telling someone it was "Ree." The next time I spoke to her, I used it, and her face lit up.

At the risk of defending entitled haters, I think that the woman should have respected her polite decline. I hate having my picture taken, so I can't imagine how invasive it must be to go somewhere, with complete strangers running up and demanding pictures or selfies. On a campaign trail or a press junket, or movie promotional? Yeah, that's a given. Going to the grocery store or getting something to eat? Give people space. And if they say no, it should mean no.
That said, that particular girl is not particularly well behaved or well mannered, so it's possible it happened a different way than was reported.

Aronofsky's been playing with what he thinks are religious themes since Pi. He's, you know, horribly wrong in his interpretations though. The weird thing is that I don't think he means to be blasphemous, there's a bizarre streak of solemnity to what he does.

all this complaining about American Spelling - the Brits always have
half a dozen letters in their place names that never get pronounced, and
that's when the names at least try to sound like they're spelled. (You
realize that "Ralph" is pronounced "Rayff", right?)
Our British founders in Savannah: Whitemarsh Island ("Whitmarsh"), Whitefield Road ("Whitfield" -- named after the Rev. George Whitefield)
A transplant took to the local paper a few years ago to scold the locals that they didn't know how to pronounce the names. Hilarity, and a history lesson, ensued.

Re: old deed restrictions
I was watching Auntie Mame the other day and it occurred to me that Kids These Days would not understand what it meant when the horrible family discusses the property they are buying the kids and "it's restricted" or just how much a kick in the teeth it is that Auntie Mame buys the adjacent land and turns it into a home for Jewish orphans.
Just wooooooosh right over their heads. Also woosh over their heads that deed restrictions also meant Teh Jooooos too.
I was reading a translation of a Swedish novel about what would happen if the dead returned and it was very obvious to me that there were significant cultural observations tied to locations where this occurred but it meant nothing to me, even with looking them up.
No matter how good a translation is, cultural signifiers like that really cannot be translated well.

Chinese -- Mandarin, I think -- sounds like the kind of "language" my brother and I made up as kids, when we were playing an adventure scenario and our characters met some "foreign people."
Heinlein had one of his characters sum up the major Earth languages thus:
Spanish: sounds like honey dripping from a jug. [Maybe Castilian does. Kitchen New World Spanish sounds more like knives clashing]
French: Sounds like a cat fight.
German: Sounds like somebody strangling.
The character didn't mention English, but I suspect to someone who hears it for the first time, it sounds like castanets clacking.

Nice. The Free Church Movement is gaining momentum in Germany. As a side note, the LCMS has traditionally cut actually Germans a lot of slack regarding our closed communion because they never had any choice as to churches, the German State church being about as liberal as the ELCA with which we are obviously not in communion, but we may end up tightening up on that now that there is a choice.

Preston Hollow, some lefties tried to fool the less experienced folks
into believing that his new neighborhood was uniquely racist for having
one of those old deed restrictions.
Posted by: stace at September 18, 2017 11:28 AM
I think Rehnquist had a restrictive covenant on one of his properties. Our Civ Pro prof, who certainly knew it was meaningless, announced that to a class of 1Ls in a tone of voice that all but said "see what a racist scumbag this guy is". And that was the general reaction of the section, too. I couldn't stand that raving lefty. Even my communist Con Law II prof wasn't as obnoxious.

Yeah, see, here's the thing with that.
There is a subset of the Horde that decides to haul The Gays into more or less every thread and then to go off, in loving detail, about how 99% of lesbians are fat and ugly and that's because they are purposefully making themselves physically repugnant to men; how bisexuals don't really exist (someone really really really needs to share that with my student loan holder) and how anyone who is queer was molested.
And then there's the flat out statements about how people who are queer are pedophiles. Pedophiles. Yeah, see, those in the Horde who delight in doing this, and I am using delight for a very particular reason and I intend, in every way, the implications of frissions of pleasure, do not then get to turn around and claim that oh we aren't calling *you* a pedophile.
Uh. Huh.
I stay out of any thread about anything touching on "gay rights" because I know what will be said and I am responsible for my own mental health.
Last week? Yeah. The faggots are fat, ugly, sexually abused pedophiles brigade decided to start up their merry discussions in multiple threads.
I cried.
Then this morning, Sefton decided to make an utterly fucking stupid comment out of nowhere and I'm done. Sefton, if you are reading this, I am actually furious that you did that. There was no call or cause for it and it was a slap in my face that was undeserved.
I'm done being the better person. I'm done gritting my teeth and telling myself the lie that it's generalities.
I will repeat what I said this morning to Sefton, if the Horde wants to bait, then you better be prepared for what you catch.
I'm not the better person. And I will be damned if I put up with being inferred to be a pedophile for one more second.
Posted by: alexthechick - yup, fasto, ugly, victim, pedophile, lefty, you pegged it Horde at September 18, 2017 11:37 AM (mf5HN)
My head it is aching "
Sorry.
I tend to put great faith in the wisdom of the Horde.
And am never afraid to ask for insight or thoughts.
and I am really getting tired of being on the backside of these cultural assaults, and am seeking ways to negate or weaken them using rational and intelligent argument.
And on that note, I offer you...
Star Spangled Banner vs Rap Lyrics.
Which should we condemn, and which should we elevate for their meaning in our culture?

You know, casseroles should be the ideal food. You have all the delicious goodnes of a bunch of stuff mixed together and baked, unified by the delicious goodness of cheese. The problem is there are lots of poorly made casseroles. Someone that know how to cook should do a really good casserole cookbook.
By really good I do not mean some casserole that you remember fondly because the only person that ever loved or really liked you used to make it and serve it to you on special occasions, but really well thought out using high quality ingredients.
Macaroni and cheese, not even with lobster, does not count.

I'll try this. It's wrong for assholes to constantly drag fag-hate into threads and roll around in it.
Convince anyone? OK, it's not accurate that most lesbians were abused, nor that they are abusers, nor that there's a PC coverup of their domestic violence which is so much more horrific than normal people's, nor that lesbian couple stop having sex after six months because really they just want dick, nor that they're lesbians because they're ugly and can't get men, nor most of the other malarkey that has been trotted out in the last week.
I could try to point-by-point "convince" anyone of all of the above, but the people who cling to that thinking are not interested in persuasion. It's just a delightful hobby for some to say "look how awful those lesbians are".
Now, we shouldn't do that just because we should be a polite people. Polite people do not gratuitously hurt others' feelings.
There was a thing this weekend too where people were throwing around the word Latrina, which turned out to mean what it sounds like. Gee, I guess if n*gger is banned we can have fun with another slur.
Stupid homophobia is stupid, even if SJWs throw around the term homophobia and you don't like SJWs. Stupid racism is stupid as well.
People are being stupid and hurtful on purpose and saying "oh you just didn't convince me to not be stupid and hurtful".
There are words for such people, many words, and they are unflattering.

The deed on homeowner John Williford's 75-year-old Myers Park house includes restrictions written by the original developers geared to preserve the parklike feel of the neighborhood. The deeds also include racial restrictions: "This lot shall be owned and occupied by people of the Caucasian race only."

The same racial covenants are surprisingly common in deeds nationwide. But they're now moot under current law in virtually every state (I'll bet that Hawaii's got racial covenants that ARE enforced, except they're to restrict ownership strictly to Hawaiian ancestry).
Nixon was criticized in the '72 campaign for having those racial land ownership covenants in the deeds for his property. Except that they were relics that even then were moot, and he knew it. But since they were moot, he never considered having the deed amended, figuring that it was a waste of money.

My sis is a transman. You probably understand better than most what I feel when uncivil commenters paint all trans, which would include her, with the same broad brush of intolerance. Not every trans person is Chelsea Manning levels of traitorous deranged crazy. People in the Horde have met my sis in person, and were wonderful to her. So I have faith in the general goodness of the Horde, and hope some of the worst is just people keystroke raging.

Preach it.
I don't want people to walk on eggshells and I cut a whole lot of slack for these things but I'm done with the overt and truly bigoted (ignorant) cracks about "Hispanics."
Yesterday an otherwise bright and cordial poster referred to a crew of HS cheerleaders he glimpsed on TV as "Latrinas." Ha, ha, ha. Now, he may not know that calling a woman a "letrina" in Spanish is to say she's not worth more than a deposit of sh*t, but of course he's making a play on the English "latrine." Ha, ha, ha.
He doesn't know anything about these girls. There was no political context. Yet he calls them "sh*tholes."
Yeah. I'm done with that kind of thing.

=====================================
Oh Alex! Oh, I hope that maybe you'll come back and catch this, obviously at the end of a dead thread.
I am so so sorry - I am guilty of saying some of those things myself, not thinking of how hurtful they sound. Oh dear. The last thing on earth I want to do is cause you pain.
The reason I said that sometimes lesbians dress in a way so as to not attract men, because they've been hurt by men, is out of my own personal experiences with about a dozen or so lesbians who have told their stories to me. Obviously I see now that my sample is skewed, because these are women who voluntarily came for some kind of help dealing with their past.
My intent was to maybe help others to see there might be reasons below the surface, and to not judge, because there might be pain in there. I did a piss poor job of conveying that, and am heartily sorry that it went all whackadoo, between my brain and the blog.
Please club me over the head. Send spiders if necessary. Love you.
