Wow, a video on modern/contemporary art that isn't dogmatically supportive of one side of the argument? Keep up the good work!

I think that the price of art is less important than people think. I can pay as much as i want for a plank sheet of printer paper, it wouldn't make it any more impressive. Look not at the price of an artwork but at its artistic value.

Was interesting to be reminded that photography was a thing that was invented and before that you couldn't capture a moment without the massive expense of a painting. I totally take it for granted now lol. good video!
@fruiteehcs
Really great video man, it does definitely shed more light for me - on a philosophical level I mean! Love from France

$58.4 million for Balloon Dog? Well now that one I can kind of understand. Look how huge he is. It's safe to assume he's not actually made from a balloon. They made him from something else, then went to tremendous length to make it look like a balloon.

"modern art or art today does not hold an objective or generally agreed upon value" my dude art never has and never will hold anything but subjective value. The only reason The Mona Lisa has a value of 600 million or whatever, is because we think it has value.

Suprarealist art still requires skill, real objects still get painted and perspective is still generally respected; is just that the resulting image is not something that could exist in reality. Just look at some of Dali's painting there is still skill involved and some have visual metaphors that make some sense so they even have meaning in an old school painting kind of way. So there is at least 1 way of making art that requires skill in the post photography era.

This video brings up a true point, but IMO it falls too deep into the "robots are replacing us" paranoia trap. Realism isn't about cramming in as many tiny details as you can, although many may think it so; it's about making the viewer feel like he's at the scene. Some of today's artists produce pixel-perfect creations by hand, but you can see that those works fail to evoke any feeling of entering the picture's world. To make a good realist painting, you need to understand light and how it permeates and contrasts, how textures, color groups, placement of objects matter, and, of course, you need that masterful intuition that brings it all together. You need to understand how the human mind processes vision, not where to put this little red dot or that yellow streak. When we stand in a sunny field, our five senses mix and match sometimes without us even noticing, and what we think as a change in vision may have actually been caused by sound or feeling the wind. This is what artists have to consider when they make realist art, and it's something that a simple camera, no matter how accurate its photography, cannot do on its own. So, while it's true that cameras revolutionized the art industry, let's not jump to the conclusion that they made realism obsolete. Realism is deeper than that.

Wasn’t interested in this video based on title, finally got around to watching it and I’m really glad I did, great video
@maximusregalado9655
there is just one thing, the prices are really not from the artist in most cases, especially those who are crazy expensive, thore are the gallery prices and they are making the money value in the art, i guess that i can say, as a training artist, a true artist will find difficult or imposible to label those numbers

I would not say how much it costs but how much it sold for.

The fall of romanticism doesn't have just one singular event, in the US is started post civil war and in Europe during the world wars most of the literature and art was staunchly against the current ideals, values etc of their time. I know people don't necessarily understand contemporary art and that's because of the way it was created, as an anti thesis to romantic values, altering the form however they please to suit a (function/idea) whereas romantics had a strict interpretation of form, contextualuzing it is important

Wow, the connection between ai and the dark room is one im still coming to grips with.
