Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.
Please never forget what artists were once capable of. pic.twitter.com/8ZlsaUEQY9

2023-08-10 05:58:27@Culture_Crit You can go back even further. The Romans made these. pic.twitter.com/kQ5SVsOILA
2023-08-10 06:06:58@stillgray Correct. The Greeks set the standards however: Laocoön and His Sons (c.42-20 BC) pic.twitter.com/VIWYgv16Ve
2023-08-10 06:09:58@Culture_Crit Some modern artists are capable but the numbers seem to not be in our favor. This Artist did an amazing job on the flow. pic.twitter.com/2GgyNRtbJy

2023-08-10 06:53:15@Culture_Crit The greatest artists today work in ink on skin. "High" art today is a bad joke.
2023-08-10 06:09:34@Culture_Crit This is what happens when there is more time dedicated to master the craft We used to use art to convey the best, the art of fencing, the art of chess But in todays fast paced society, art has fallen along with the appreciation for the finer details culture Let’s redeem it
2023-08-10 06:42:55@Culture_Crit So true . This : Apollo and Daphne / Bernini never fails to shock me. Completed in 1625 when he was only about 26 years olds pic.twitter.com/31NrEN4oIK
2023-08-10 21:35:27@Culture_Crit They don’t want us to make art. They want us sidetracked and always short 🔥
2023-08-10 07:14:34@DrDeathCultClub @Culture_Crit There are literally artists that still do this. pic.twitter.com/Or7qV78zEB
2023-08-10 09:48:27@PanarchyJay @Culture_Crit Yes, very true - this is more of a traditional view on arts But if we look at contemporary art galleries it is not this quality We see in modern art: commodification, less attention to detail & tacky Big difference 👇🏻 pic.twitter.com/V2vKdRAbSC
2023-08-10 19:42:40@DrDeathCultClub @Culture_Crit I'm sure there was plenty of horrible or silly art throughout history. It didn't make it to the future because it didn't have staying power. If there is a specific type of art that you like, pay for it and more people will make it.
2023-08-10 21:18:35@Culture_Crit Michelangelo et al were definitely legends. But the skill is not completely lost. We still work with stone. For example, this is Tom Nicholls, a sculptor from London. He won the Carver of the Year award in 2013. pic.twitter.com/E62C9WAnnq
