![]() Christ of Saint John of the Cross. Interesting how there are no nails in this depiction of Jesus, nor a crown of thorns. | ||

Sometimes i'm this man. I love this painting, it's among the most powerful pieces of art ever created. Did you know that Munch painted this about 50 times? There's another work of his that I adore but I can't find it right now and I'm not anyway near my Munch book. I won't start a discussion about what is art and what isn't since it's off topic, but some things posted in this thread are not art. And some are not even close. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitsch Moving on, I will focus on paintings only (with one exception) – mainly because two-dimensional pictures can't transmit the expression of sculptures or architecture. ![]() My favourite Manet, the gentle way to cause an outrage. When you're talking about impressionism you can't get around mentioning this work from Renoir, the way he features the light in this painting is so wonderful. This has been posted before, but I think posting this once is not sufficent. ![]() Kind of obvious that I like impressionism. This is a work of Cézanne. Light, light, light, impressionism, light. Love. I promise I will stop posting impressionism. But I had to feature Liebermann. ![]() Back to expressionism, this work of ELK is way ahead of it's time. While the futurists in italy were working on a new way to describe form Kirchner was working on his way to redefine color. ![]() Again, Kirchner's use of color is exceptional which made me a fan. This is so good. Even if you don't like it, you can't deny the point. ![]() We can all tell where this is coming from. ![]() Anyone else here who likes situationistic paintings? | ||

Obviously nazi's are bad. The holocaust was NOT ART. But what is interesting is the relevance this work of art has to modern america in and the wars going on in the middle east. To me this monster represents the negative history of the united states fueling the american war machine. You can see the racist history the United States has been lead by the Indian on his shoulder and the klu klux klan mask he's wearing on his face. The monster has a woman's leg because beauty is valued very much in the united states. He's holding money and a music record too; also shadowing our American values. His other leg is a pipe that is dropping bombs on germany or in my interpretation: the middle east. His lower torso area is a war drum. We know the USA loves to go to war. oh and for the record i am not anti america. I like the usa a lot. Just not some of the things going on internationally. What do you guys think? Post your art now. ONLY ONE WORK OF ART PER POST PLEASE. the text isnt german, im pretty sure it's norwegian although this looks like the orignial one and it's actually dutch + Show Spoiler + ![]() | ||

I think that this has nothing to do with art. Zero. This is by definition the opposite of art. Art allows room for interpretation, it wants – maybe even forces – the viewer to start thinking, it is open and it's message not complete without the individuum it's targeting. As you mentioned correctly, this is propaganda. Propaganda transports a simple message in an obvious way so that the targeted audience understands it. Propaganda wants to convince. This image was not created as art, wasn't published as art, wasn't received as art and will never be. Your 'interpretation' is none, you just describe the most obvious anti-american, anti-semitic statements the poster makes. This image does not want the viewer to think, it uses one-sided skin-deep prejudices of a culture to create hate. The only relevance this piece of graphic scum has is the similar stupidity to modern anti-american propaganda: By seeing how little the propaganda depiction has changed in over 60 years just displays how narrow-minded people who publish this sort of trash are. | ||
