eastcoast 4,188 Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 I spent a very brief period studying art history, long time ago, and I realise what was being taught was what the lecturers wanted to be taught, but... artists at that time could not paint what they wanted to paint. So I was told. They were at the mercy of their patrons, basically the Catholic church or wealthy families. They tended to produce whatever they had been told to produce for fear of ending up broken and starving or being accused of being a heretic. This does not answer Ken's question but the reason for the object being there was his patron wanted it there. Real art began with Impressionism, or so I was told. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Expand Possibly. I was only art school for a short period of time. The people there didn't really like me. My favourite artists such as Landseer, Stubbs, Gainsborough et al were dismissed as "chocolate box lid" artists. Fair enough, I understood how more progressive artists felt as though they wanted to create something other than what had already been done, but did they come to this decision after they had perfected how to draw a horse, or a dog, or the human form? If required to do so could they? Nah, most of them couldn't draw for toffee. Edited September 7, 2022 by eastcoast 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
