I can't decide if Haring or Basquiat is the bigger astroturfed mediocre artist

Wow, great stuff guys. They were a couple of boy-smoochers too. Well I know Haring was, sure didn't work out too well for him though.

I don’t like either but Basquiat > Keith Harding. Harding was some skating fag who probably raped women and children. All Basquiat did was suck Andy Warhols penis.

If Keith Haring was able to maintain an erection long enough to rape a woman, it must have been a miracle and possibly punishment from God re: that woman

WWAW the art world being a front for money laundering? Might explain how this dogshit gets valued so highly.

I’ve seen the infograph that goes around a lot and it’s just wrong. There are a lot of reasons you think art is shittier or takes less effort today, which it is, and none of it has to do with money laundering.

This is just for the faggots who want some sort of perspective:

Everything changed in the 1900’s. Before then if you were a professional artist you were mainly doing commissioned work by rich people or the government. Post 1900’s a shit ton of things happened that made art the way it is today:
1.) Art started to become more independent. Now artists were making art and getting paid for it, rather than getting paid to make specific pieces of art. With art becoming more independent it put more emphasis on the individual making the art. Shit like the Girl with the Pearl Earring was made to be looked at without considering who the artist was or their story or inspiration.
2.) Abstraction taking priority over realism. By this point we had gone through 400 years of realistic paintings from biblical scenes, to portraits, to landscapes, to still lifes and artists started to try to find inspiration. A bunch of them, like Picasso, went to Africa and observed their traditional art which wasn’t based in realistic proportions. This was brought back and incorporated into Picassos early cubist / abstract work. And from there it was basically a race to who could make the most abstract pieces. Think of how different an abstract Picasso painting is compared to a Jackson Pollack painting.
3.) The invention of photography meant you didn’t need to hire an artist to paint a photorealistic portrait or landscape for you. Just take a picture. On top of that it’s no coincidence art became more abstract as we entered both world wars.
4.) Then sometime post 1950’s people like Warhol entered the scene and put an emphasis on putting as little effort into your work and selling it for as much money. What value does a Warhol painting have? The time? It’s a fast process to make his shit. The effort? Warhol didn’t make his own work. He had unpaid studio interns doing the physical work for him. The subject? It’s commercialism. He’s screen printing soup cans. The only value to the work was the name attached to it: Warhol. Many artists replicated Warhols style of pointless money fueled works that only have a value through the name attached to it, such as Jeff Koonz.

Anyway that’s my ramble. It’s possible tax evasion is being used through art and minorly contributing to it’s worsening but this has been going on for a while.

Also it should be noted that art every 500 years or so does this. I know a lot about the history of this shit. Ever wonder why the Romans and Greeks had such beautiful art? Because their people studied anatomy of the human body and how to make a sculpture / painting completely accurate to how bodies worked. If you look at Egyptian hieroglyphs they’re all 2d and facing the side because they didn’t understand how to draw the human body proportionally. This can also be seen in medieval art. After the Roman Empire fell a shit ton of the “art rules” were redone and in the process the concept of crafting humans in art to be anatomically accurate was lost until the 1500’s Renaissance era. We played with and mastered that for another 500 years and now we’re back to more abstract, less realistic depictions of things.
