if we gonna doing a Lets read we should pick a text thats avaible Online the internet and also pick a start date in the future "in advance" so everyone can finish the freak up whatsoever they're currently perusing because whenever someones like Lets read this! cant im busy with something\\\\\\\ Thats the only thing i care about

Does anyone want to see more film or general art criticism+commentary since that pulls in the stupid fucking yokels like myself and the dumbass rubes still more like myself

i went to see a bunch of kandiskys at the guggenheim and iono... i didnt feel it, it didnt actively repulse me like jackson pollock but i didnt find it emotive in the same way as rothko for instance, i get that its very intricately composed but it seemed to be reaching for some kind of aesthetically powerful composition while not actually getting there. guess im just a big ole cubist/constructivist dinosaur tho

i saw a rothko a couple months ago at the sfmoma, really didn't expect anything, but the moment i saw it in real life it just hit me like damn. emotion outta nowhere from just some fuckin blocks of color dang waht teh hell lady? CIA aesthetics attack u like whoa.

rothko is awesome and his works have immediate aesthetic effect whereas pollock is unintelligible without reference to the bourgeois liberal idea of individual freedom, pollock's expressionism is tyrannical as fuck, he just wants you to decipher his Important Artist's Meaningful Feelings

they take some time to sink in i think, there's no immediate effect. not to say its like pollock where theres something "to decipher," but there is a "ah hah" moment where u realize what exactly ur looking at, through the obscuring lens of whatever emotional state the painter was in at the time

that's the background of my phone and people comment on it ALL THE TIME. one time i was at the post office and i busted out my phone to get the tracking number for the package i was picking up and the guy was like 'oh, is that.... stalin?' and i was just like 'yeah' and changed the subject real quick by pulling up the number. i guess i failed, i shoulda preached to that dude and the ppl behind me in line about how stalin is misrepresented in history and is actually the greatest humanitarian of all time.
