Art Documentaries

I love art documentaries, don’t get me wrong. But what I don’t like is when these documentaries, particularly from the BBC, claim that the two World Wars “threatened to destroy art altogether.”

No. Sorry.

What about Guernica? Or Wilfred Owen’s poetry? Or Elgar’s Cello Concerto? All inspired by  war and created during/just after a war. Yes, the threat may have been there. But it’s so easy for viewers to assume from those overly dramatic statements that all art was just put on standby. Art never stops for no one, not ever. 

SO THERE. :P

[Self-portraits by Carrie Mae Weems, Käthe Kollwitz, Judy Baca, and Frida Kahlo, text “Never apologize for selfies”]

Wanted to get modern women artists and some WOC up in this one.  If you reblog it would be cool if you kept the part in the brackets so these artists, two of whom are still working, will get credit—this conversational part below is nbd.

She is so beautiful she is unnatural; her beauty is an abnormality, a deformity, for none of her features exhibit any of those touching imperfections that reconcile us to the imperfection of the human condition. Her beauty is a symptom of her disorder, of her soullessness.

SIGNED! I seem to have signed a lot of petitions this week. Think of it as worthwhile procrastination ;)
