The Dark is Getting Darker

That isnt what a French painting means

If American Gothic gets bought and hung in a N Korean museum it doesn't become a NK painting. A painting is judged by who and where it originated. Its lineage doesnt change each time it is bought sold or displayed.

 

Yeah. Not catholic, so unaware of the terminology. But you sit it beside a halo or a bishop and tell me what it looks like. The Catholic Church in France disagrees with you

 

Remember when American Christians said the French being able to parody Islam in especially vile terms in Charlie Hebdoe was essential to western values?

 

Wait, your argument is that ownership has no role in this?

 

How does one sit something beside a "halo," which doesn't actually exist in the world (it is an artistic element)? Also, why would somebody put "Jesus" in a miter? And no, it is not that similar to miters. Miters don't have stars coming out of them on sticks, for example.

It just seems like you are desperately hanging onto your offense at this point. Which is...odd.

 

Not bishops headwear LOL

Again, you were wrong about their intent. While you may know about art, it appears you are not conversant with Greek mythology.

 

You are now arguing against your own position, since the last supper is painted on a church wall in Italy.

 

Of course, and gay rights, civil rights, women's rights, etc will survive criticism too. But people will speak out against it.

 

Lol. Are you under some impression that i grew up in an era with no textbooks. You like to toss these claims when people disagree with you.

It's pretty lazy and dismissive tbh.

"You dont know about art!
Oh, you do know about art.
Well .well, you don't know about Mythology then!"

So tiring.

 

Where did i say otherwise?

 

It isn't actually in the Vatican. It is in Milan. I don't think da Vinci ever worked for the Pope (but might be wrong on this).

 

The refectory (dining hall) of the convent of Saint Maria delle Grazie in MIlan

 

Also worth noting that the Greek God Dionysus is also known as the God of Festivals. … and the word “Festivite”, which is festivities in English, appeared on the screen at the beginning of the scene…

Sorry @tilly, but that is game, set, and match… it was a Greek god festival from the start.

Dionysus, god of wine, festivals and pleasure (god of festivals link)

 

American Gothic is an American painting regardless of who owns it.

A Ferrari is an Italian car even if its owned by a rock star in Miami.

 

Again, you were wrong about all of this.

I can assume that since you say that you are familiar with Greek mythology and renaissance art that you’ve just chosen to ignore your knowledge.

As far as someone being dismissive of posters that disagree with them I would say that you’re right up there with them

 

So you don't think of the Mona Lisa as French either?

Regardless of your thoughts on this, the artistic director was utilizing artwork based in France, not artwork based in other countries.

 

Am I? Because i debate?

When do repeatedly claim your ignorance on subjects like you have twice done to me in the past few posts?

I'll wait.
