If we ever have another elected president, I hope that one of their first acts after undoing literally everything that the orange menace has done is to replace every picture of trump in any government building with this.

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 17 points 18 hours ago

Damn don't do Cronos like that

[–] FuckFascism@lemmy.world 19 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

Prove it. It's not mine.

[–] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 99 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 37 points 1 day 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 26 points 1 day 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 7 points 23 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.

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 16 hours ago

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

Who painted this? I want to buy this painting.

[–] huppakee@feddit.nl 24 points 17 hours ago

Quite likely their initials are A.I.

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

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

[–] fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 23 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.

[–] wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Just worth pointing out: three of the five children eaten by Saturn(Cronus)were women, and the very first was Vesta(Hestia).

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago

they were roommates

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

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

On the other hand, he’s well known for eating things he wants to hide. He eats notes after meetings.

I would be surprised if he hasn’t had someone redesign the US flag for him, based on his ‘vision’. So eating the flag to hide it is totally on brand.

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 6 points 18 hours ago

Nah, he uses the constitution for that.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 11 points 21 hours ago

why do you think he's eating it?

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

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day 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 5 points 22 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 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] adj16@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I was actually expecting it wasn’t him and was hoping that I would find the original when I searched it but he was the only one that showed up - for my query at least. Thanks for the extra info!

The best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer.

Is there an artist or is this AI?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 10 points 22 hours ago (6 children)

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

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 18 hours ago

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

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?

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 6 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 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.
