Real art

This is what real art looks and sounds like.

Two bonuses:

I won't include embedded videos to keep this list lightweight. Use adblocks of your choice or safeshare.tv or invidious.io (click the "Use Invidious" button, then choose any public Invidious Instances). Listal supports embedded YouTube videos only.

I stopped reading fiction literature and watching fiction movies many years ago. I don't find them useful because we can learn all the important life lessons from real life events. And I can imagine anything very easily because I have always had a very powerful imagination! I only read educational literature and watch educational videos. Perhaps I'll change my mind and find some good family-friendly fiction books and movies later, but I doubt it.

Even though I have a very brilliant idea about a family-friendly, educational, interesting, kind, classy, pleasant, and very unusual cartoon, only upper-class Westerners from at least the early 20th century would like it. And hundreds of millions of US dollars are needed to create such a cartoon because perfect work of real painters, animators, musicians, editors, and voice artists (all very talented amateurs instead of narcissistic, talentless celebrities) must be very generously paid. We need to find and support very talented amateurs who are very passionate about their hobbies in order to create more professionals.

And let's be honest: adults and children don't like family-friendly content. People would rather spend trillions of dollars on content with adult "humor", horrors, and extreme violence, and on modern/contemporary "art". Some people say that they admire old art, but then they happily spend money on latest trendy cacophony and daubs. Some people say that they denounce modern/contemporary "art", yet they still give money to museums and galleries that proudly display that "art". I stopped visiting museums and galleries more than a decade ago. We should not destroy modern/contemporary "art". Instead, we should mock it and use it to learn how not to create art.

Animal cruelty is not art.
"Invisible art" is not art.
Parasitic "art" is not art.
Disturbing "art" is not art.
Vomiting is not art.
Vandalism is not art.
Tattoos are not art. People should express themselves with knowledge and intelligence instead.
A daub is not art. A very complex daub is still a daub.
Cacophony is not art. Very complex cacophony is still cacophony.
A heap of trash is not art.

In the 1980s, Ritsuko Taho of Harvard created an "art project" where her students murdered a chicken and created a "sculpture" from his/her bones.

In 1987, Andres Serrano placed a crucifix in a glass tank with his urine and took a photo of it. That photo was sold for £130,000 in 2022.

In 2019, Maurizio Cattelan attached a banana to a wall with duct tape. That "artwork" was sold for 6.2 million US dollars.

These "artists" are not outcasts. They have not been banned from major museums, galleries, and exhibitions. That's everything we need to know about the current "art industry" which openly supports ugliness and cruelty.

For some reason, I can't choose thumbnails for lists of images. Lists of items/products don't have this problem. If your image list doesn't have a thumbnail, then remove an image from your list and add it back, or move a section with an image to the top.

Broken thumbnails of image lists may be fixed by changing the section display mode (worked in my case).

The maximum width of an image header for a list is 1150 pixels. The maximum height is 520 pixels.

When the NSFW filter is enabled in your profile settings, it hides some family-friendly images because of an error. Non-logged in users can't see those images either.

If you want to leave comments, then, please, be civil, don't use profanity/vulgarity, don't post adult "jokes", and don't have disturbing/vulgar usernames/profile pictures.
