Damn don’t do Cronos like that
Our nation not his.
Prove it. It’s not mine.
Well…
Who painted this? I want to buy this painting.
Quite likely their initials are A.I.
This is based on Goya’s famous painting “Saturn Devouring His Son”, if anyone was wondering.
One of my favorites. I wish we knew if that’s really what he intended to depict - people just guessed.
I dunno, I think that’s part of the magic of the Black Paintings. To me, what makes them truly unsettling (in the best way) is the fact that he painted them exclusively for his own desire and that we’re limited to guessing the subject matter (which, although ambiguous, was undoubtedly dark).
Insanity created some of the most definitely gothic images ever. Goya is so slept on. I’m especially partial to his etchings
The political prints about Spain and Spanish politics are particularly interesting to me
kolpeshtheyardstick made a pretty great video essay about the work and its historical context and cultural impact. (01:04:19)
I never heard about how it was made before and that really changed how I view the work.
Thanks, I’ll listen to this on the commute home.
True, I just always want to know the facts about everything, no matter how insignificant, for historical posterity and my own curiosity.
This is a really good reference to classical Roman mythology. Something that the US government usually appreciates.
It’s a reference to Goya a Spanish painter.we don’t really know if this painting was about chronos, that’s a theory.

Huh, neat. I tend to believe it is anyways with that previous sketch and simply belonging to under the umbrella of Romanticism but there’s some solid points there against it.
Just the point that the buttocks are too round to fit a typical male depiction is pretty compelling.
they were roommates
Trump wouldn’t eat the flag, he’d use it to wipe his shit
Nah, he uses the constitution for that.
why do you think he’s eating it?

Only if it’s a gilded flag.
I’m sure there are quite a few people that would love to see him choke on a flag.
I’d watch that Seven death a lot.
I think a lot of alcohol poisonings will happen on the day he dies.
Another, yes.
I’ve turned into a bit of a whiskey maniac since my visit to Ireland last March and enjoyed it more than I thought.
Yes
Is there an artist or is this AI?
Ai, it’s a parody of a famous painting “Saturn devouring his son”.
I’m actually grateful that it is. I’d hate to think a human spent time on this. Imagine the psychological damage.
Pastiche, actually.
No, a pastiche would be in the same style. This one is more like Goya by way of Norman Rockwell.
If you assume ai has artistic intent then sure I suppose.
That would apply to parody too though. So what is it, scrambled art en croute?
My understanding is pastiche is a homage, a parody can be as little as “this look sorta like that”. Imo pastiche would require intent and I’m not so sure an ai has intent.
AI
I’ll let it slide. This time…
I am a happy /c/fuckai subscriber and I am still comfortable admitting that image generators can be great for memes and quick jokes.
Agreed, it is pretty spot on. Capturing the originals vacant stare is what makes it.
The hand is pretty good for AI.
The top finger kinda gives it away imo
Knuckle too long, yeah, but a human artist could made that mistake too. Probably not one capable of painting that face, I suppose.
art is lies that reveal the truth
-some artist
Maybe you’re thinking Alan Moore in V for Vendetta?
Artists use lies to tell the truth, while politicians use them to cover the truth up.
Definitely didn’t originate with Alan Moore. I’ve seen it attributed to Pablo Picasso but I think the first is probably Aristotle.
Good one. Not that I can do any better, but would it make more sense to put the statue of liberty there to better reflect the original inspiration?
I would have Trump raping the Statue of Liberty for both the truth and shock value.
Assault warning
Liberty and Justice being assaulted. Apropos. What really sucks is that these were made during his first term, which was nothing compared to the full-on fascist assault he’s doing now.
Grabbing it by the pussy.
Might print this out for my next protest sign. Who made this? Doesn’t look like AI to me.
It’s AI.
Need one of all of the Dems crying “peaceful protests only” as they let him.
Make one with Net, since he’s pulling the puppet strings.
