some thoughts on this choice, two days in:

-its shocking just how bad a lot of high art is

like, theres a lot of really good art just floating around on the internet, and i have taken the typical quality of this stuff completely for granted

RT @imhinesmi
just followed 200 accounts and now my twitter feed is replaced with art

gosh there sure is a lot of art

Follow

several of them were at the general quality level of a college art student

im not even talking about the modern art stuff, some of the sketches and portraits were just bad

we live in a world where internet randos are often better artists than the professionals

-it can get kind of annoying, actually
probably related to the general lack of quality, ive unfollowed ~half the accounts already

its just too much, and several of them have context that i dont get, which is too much effort to try and understand for every tweet

-there is far more art than anyone will ever be able to look at in their lifetime

like, a lot more

memento mori i guess

-paintings of boats seems to be a whole subgenre

-artists are allowed to be much hornier than everyone else

nudes are good, but only as Art, apparently
