@matrix Things could have been so much better

@matrix I enjoy abstract art. I like these. In happy they got made.

@matrix I think the turning point was the First World War, not the second. The First World War had a devastating and destabilizing effect on Europe in which the sense of continuity was broken and it left many western men, especially the post-war elite perplexed, pessimistic, disoriented, and disillusioned of their civilization. The Second World War only accelerated this trend.

@matrix it may have taken time but at least good art started to appear again after ww2 instead of all the low skill abstractrash, the only downside is it took so many decades.

Pic very related.

@matrix there's still great art around! Honestly both options in this post look boring. I saw a cool video today about one artist who does really emotional and freaky stuff. That's what I like. Art that makes me scared.
