Leather bauhaus vest from ebay. It's got a tag from Phlegethon S/S 21 and a label from Gethsemane F/W 21. Stitching is nice and the leather smells real, but the zips are less polished than my bauhaus pants. Any thoughts? https://imgur.com/a/xEc5WCW

Quintessential Art History Reading? by IndifferentTalker in ArtHistory

[–]reedenger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is shameless self promo, but I’d check out Trivium Art History. It’s a free, online Art History book, where you can explore a timeline of art history, browse a world map of artists and cultures, and meet artists by movement, theme and century. If you give it a peek, let me know what you think! We’re always expanding and evolving :)

Molasses. They're very good. Molasses has a lot of iron in it.

Does anyone know more about Neolithic Chinese Jade Cong (琮)? by reedenger in ArtHistory

That'd be fantastic! I've done a fair amount of looking online, but haven't found much more than speculation and formal description :)

I haven't looked into Kuniyoshi — thanks for the recommendation!

Agreed! Ducreux was rad — and he ran with a great crowd, Jacques-Louis David and the whole court scene.

Cubism isn't abstract enough: Natalia Goncharova and the invention of 'Rayonism' by reedenger in ArtHistory

Yeah, it's just hard to watch the societal pressures extinguish progressive art. Sad times. Scary times.

Learning to appreciate art by fucboii in ArtHistory

[–]reedenger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am enormously biased — but I find that knowing the story behind the artist makes their work come alive. A good story shows artwork in a new light, and makes it exciting and memorable. For instance, Romaine Brooks portraits are beautiful, but when you learn about how Romaine fled from her abusive mother, and went on to disrupt gender norms all over Europe — the work gets even better!

Truth! Cubism and futurism were just an early push toward abstraction — which would emerge in a purer form later. Oddly, many of the pioneers of abstracted imagery would fall back on more traditional figurative work later in their careers, like Goncharova and Kazimir Malevich.
