MysterionMuffles Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 What would art look like when there's less dysfunction in the world such as crime and child abuse? I feel like some of the most moving pieces of art are the ones that hit you in the feels and I wonder if all that would still be possible if there was a huge reduction of dysfunction in the world.
aFireInside Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 I know nothing about Art. The feeling I get when I see modern art is that the artist is trying to hide something. If you feel angry why do you have to draw some abstract and convoluted picture to express it ? Maybe there would be less art because people would be more connected to themselves and their subconscious wouldn't have to express itself through Art. Maybe it would just be called pictures and paintings and not art. I took a semester of Art and i still don't know what it is, this is why I say its so abstract. (trying to hide something through art) 1
powder Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 I have been a professional artist/painter selling in galleries for many years, and I studied art and art history for way too many as well... the art in a free society would certainly be more appealing because the government grants would go away and artists would have to make things people actually want to look at. I can say for sure that most of the WTF-political-weird-stuff that is paraded in the media so much would disappear in no time - it is almost all government/grant funded.
MysterionMuffles Posted July 8, 2014 Author Posted July 8, 2014 oh and by art I don't just mean paintings and drawings. I also mean film, TV, music and literature.
aFireInside Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Another thing to add is that Hollywood would be gone that would change everything. Some things that I imagine that would happen are movies not catering to the lowest common denominator. If you look at philosophical movies like the matrix it has violence and sex why ? because sex and violence sells. In the future i doubt that sex and violence are going to be the thing that sells.
MysterionMuffles Posted July 8, 2014 Author Posted July 8, 2014 check out the independant film market, they usually have the more cerebral movies.
DaVinci Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Art is a process and not the result. We like to call the result "art" but it is really not. It is like calling profit by the term "business". Profit is not the business it is just a result of the business.
PatrickC Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Art will finally begin to emulate a healthy mind and start reflecting some of the beauty that exists in the world. The myth of the great artist as a tortured mind will finally be dispelled. 1

Yeah, remember seeing Damien Hirst's 'Away from the Flock' a few years ago in Leeds, and after the initial 'wow that's the famous sheep in a tank of formaldehyde', I suddenly thought 'wow that's just a sheep in a tank of formaldehyde' I think a lot of that stuff is classic 'emperors new cloths syndrome', Whereas in a less dysfunctional society people won't be so burdened with fears of rejection and ridicule from their peers.

The myth of the great artist as a tortured mind will finally be dispelled. that would be great, so annoying and pathetic is that stereotype, and so many artists are too keen to embrace it.
