@Art__Paintings What a cozy piece

Summertime, when the living is easy

@NaturalDoYou16 @solisolsoli Clearly not lmao. There's no getting you to see the reality here. So, again, wish you the best

@FrozenBlind @solisolsoli And who runs the art world? Who would have been on the receiving end of this? Who was buying it? What black ppl were consulted for their opinion to come to that determination? There is absolutely nothing jaded about my response. I just know how to put things in historical context

Josephine Baker at Cartier by Maurice Millière

@NaturalDoYou16 @solisolsoli It's supposed to show that Maurice has a tendency to give the subjects chubbier features with exaggerated color tones. She was not chubby nor was she blindingly pale. It's such a common thing in art. Understanding that the artist presents their subject through their own lens.

@FrozenBlind @solisolsoli Is this supposed to be Ms Baker too 😂?? Tbh, the features are closer. I understand art. I’m not saying this bc of personal experiences and I find it presumptuous of you to say so. 👀 But it is extremely disconcerting that one wld paint her in a way that shows they don’t see her.

@NaturalDoYou16 @solisolsoli Sorry you feel that way, fortunately the art world does not feel the same way about this expression from Maurice. It's an interesting piece it'd be a shame if it was taken down due to misconception from the few, seemingly, jaded people. Wish you all the best.

@FrozenBlind @solisolsoli I didn’t say this convo isn’t for you bc of different perspectives. I said it’s not for you bc you don’t seem to see the wrong in it or why I would consider it racist, which I’m doubling down on given that you thought my stance is due to personal experience. Take your own advice.

@LuckyyPats @vvsosa @goodnewsfromCJ I would believe that has more to do with the fact that engagement is monetized here. It's the same concept you see in journalism(especially places like EPSN) where the more asinine shit you say the more clicks you tend to get. People like Kendrick Perkins are a gold mine

@FrozenBlind @vvsosa @goodnewsfromCJ You’re absolutely right but I see this WAY more with Twitter than anything else

I’m kinda confused. When did niggas stop liking Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool? I actually think that’s like his best career role lmao

@tuscarora_boone @solisolsoli Maurice is french

@solisolsoli American illustrators made this to throw jabs at Josephine btw

@NaturalDoYou16 @solisolsoli And i am sorry you feel like "this conversation isn't for me" simply because our perspectives are different. You should let people a chance to learn from your own perspective instead of outright dismissing them.

@FrozenBlind @solisolsoli If you can’t see that it’s deeply racist that they darkened her skin and fattened up her features to be a random stereotypically African woman, when she looked nothing like this, this conversation isn’t for you.

@cl0wntism @petrichord2009_ Its a game of odds + ignorance. While there are a lot of non-venomous snakes, there are a few that can be life threatening. Since the majority of people don't know what snakes are which its better, survival wise, to just try and avoid all snakes

@petrichord2009_ venomous, but no theres actually lots of non-venomous snakes and some of the venomous ones aren't even venomous enough to hurt humans

i dont understand being scared of snakes bc they literally look like this

@NaturalDoYou16 @solisolsoli and im sure this dude really looked like a batman villain. It's art man, interpretation is one of the key points

@solisolsoli She looked NOTHING like this! What are we doing?

@artbotticelli Seeing all these wonderful paintings and this one has me thinking. Does the lack of muscle, especially in the legs, indicate a life of luxury?

@vvsosa @goodnewsfromCJ These social media companies only have 1 goal. To keep you using their site for as long as possible(retention) and the best way to do this is by eliciting emotion to encourage engagement. It's why the algorithm amplifies anger and hate, no matter how few people share the opinion

@goodnewsfromCJ Only on Twitter it be the loser mfs

@ArtGuide_db I love how much emotion you can see in her eyes

@ServingArt For people who didn't know(like me lol) An anchorite (female: anchoress) is a religious recluse who withdraws from society to live a life of intense prayer, permanent isolation, and fixed confinement

The Anchorite, (1881) — by Franciszek Ejsmond.

@zeldajunkielol2 I'd imagine it's likely due to the way cameras captured light then.

this picture captures the "daylight looked different back then" belief that I hold.

@chipettemunk Feels kind of like a self imposed cynical mindset. "You look so good" is a pretty neutral positive affirming compliment, that is kind of difficult to attach any ulterior motive Could be wrong, tone and context is everything but for the sake of it. Hope you find a way to be happy

underrated part of seeing people who only knew you before you transitioned is the specific surprised way they say “you look GOOD!” because when they were warned about you beforehand they assumed you’d be chopped since you’re a tranny

Femininity is gods gift to the world
