Damn don't do Cronos like that

[–] FuckFascism@lemmy.world 19 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

Prove it. It's not mine.

[–] DrSoap@lemmy.world 14 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Who painted this? I want to buy this painting.

[–] huppakee@feddit.nl 20 points 12 hours ago

Quite likely their initials are A.I.

[–] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 92 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

This is based on Goya's famous painting "Saturn Devouring His Son", if anyone was wondering.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 34 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

One of my favorites. I wish we knew if that's really what he intended to depict - people just guessed.

[–] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 25 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

I dunno, I think that's part of the magic of the Black Paintings. To me, what makes them truly unsettling (in the best way) is the fact that he painted them exclusively for his own desire and that we're limited to guessing the subject matter (which, although ambiguous, was undoubtedly dark).

[–] oeverbloem@feddit.nl 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

kolpeshtheyardstick made a pretty great video essay about the work and its historical context and cultural impact. (01:04:19)

I never heard about how it was made before and that really changed how I view the work.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 17 hours ago

Thanks, I'll listen to this on the commute home.

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Insanity created some of the most definitely gothic images ever. Goya is so slept on. I'm especially partial to his etchings

[–] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

The political prints about Spain and Spanish politics are particularly interesting to me

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 17 hours ago

True, I just always want to know the facts about everything, no matter how insignificant, for historical posterity and my own curiosity.

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 23 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

This is a really good reference to classical Roman mythology. Something that the US government usually appreciates.

[–] fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

It's a reference to Goya a Spanish painter.we don't really know if this painting was about chronos, that's a theory.

Huh, neat. I tend to believe it is anyways with that previous sketch and simply belonging to under the umbrella of Romanticism but there's some solid points there against it.

Just the point that the buttocks are too round to fit a typical male depiction is pretty compelling.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago

they were roommates

Trump wouldn't eat the flag, he'd use it to wipe his shit

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 5 points 12 hours ago

Nah, he uses the constitution for that.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 10 points 16 hours ago

why do you think he's eating it?

Only if it’s a gilded flag.

I'm sure there are quite a few people that would love to see him choke on a flag.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 10 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I think a lot of alcohol poisonings will happen on the day he dies.

art is lies that reveal the truth

-some artist

[–] adj16@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe you’re thinking Alan Moore in V for Vendetta?

Artists use lies to tell the truth, while politicians use them to cover the truth up.

[–] JacksonLamb@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

Definitely didn't originate with Alan Moore. I've seen it attributed to Pablo Picasso but I think the first is probably Aristotle.

[–] kurwa@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Is there an artist or is this AI?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 8 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Ai, it's a parody of a famous painting "Saturn devouring his son".

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 13 hours ago

I'm actually grateful that it is. I'd hate to think a human spent time on this. Imagine the psychological damage.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 17 hours ago (4 children)
[–] JacksonLamb@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

No, a pastiche would be in the same style. This one is more like Goya by way of Norman Rockwell.

I'll let it slide. This time...

I am a happy /c/fuckai subscriber and I am still comfortable admitting that image generators can be great for memes and quick jokes.

Good one. Not that I can do any better, but would it make more sense to put the statue of liberty there to better reflect the original inspiration?

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 11 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)
[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

I would have Trump raping the Statue of Liberty for both the truth and shock value.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 5 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Liberty and Justice being assaulted. Apropos. What really sucks is that these were made during his first term, which was nothing compared to the full-on fascist assault he's doing now.
