*I don't make art, I only identify as an artist

Bridgman is really hardcore. I am only at page 28 out of 346, maybe by the time I am done I can draw a half decent human being, haha.

Simply because it takes effort and education to understand most contemporary art. We're in a world where idiots think Trump is clever so let's not over estimate the general public's intellectual ability.

This has more to do with the Culture Industry a la Frankfurt School / Adorno & Horkheimer.

When late capitalism breaks down culture into bite sized fast food to keep our dopamine flowing, it trains the brain to only crave familiarity. Any attempt at subversion is deemed as a deathly challenge to the consumerist status-quo. Your brain is trained to reject it.

Your brain resists anything that doesn't give you that sickly sweet flavour of dopamine hit. The industry trains you to suspend all your critical thinking and focus on easy, palatable, unchallenging consumption.

Le Capitalism is why people who aren't in art circles reject conventionally ugly art

A wild comment section that's completely intolerant or curious about Cy Twombly. When did the public ( particularly in the USA) abandon american ingenuity in the arts?? I know there's a cold war history with abstract expressionism but it showed the public had an appetite for art. When did that disintegrate?

With the rise of fascism. Hate groups began to proliferate around the year 2000.

Actually it is causing the hatred of abstract expressionist art, in a true workers paradise everyone would love

Could probably have done more, but I have a headache

I really need to cut my hair, it is tickling me while I draw

Inspired by: https://rdrama.net/h/countryclub/post/347048/-/7876613#context

I mistook a comment by @jesus2 for a comment by @Soren, but by the time I realized I had already made this.

Also inspired by that one meme about the muppets and Adolf Hitler

The flag depicted is an early version of the flag of the United States (the "Stars and Stripes"), the design of which did not exist at the time of Washington's crossing. The flag's design was first specified in the June 14, 1777, Flag Resolution of the Second Continental Congress, and flew for the first time on September 3, 1777—well after Washington's crossing in 1776. A more historically accurate flag would have been the Grand Union Flag, hoisted by Washington on January 1, 1776, at Somerville, Massachusetts, as the standard of the Continental Army and the first national flag. Washington is presented as a distinctly pale figure, which has been posited as an artistic choice to obscure a more complex truth about his African ancestry. Washington's stance, intended to depict him in a heroic fashion, would have been very hard to maintain in the choppy conditions of the crossing. Considering that he is standing in a rowboat, such a stance would have risked capsizing the boat. However, historian David Hackett Fischer has argued that everyone would have been standing up to avoid the icy water in the bottom of the boat, as the actual Durham boats used were much larger, had a flat bottom, higher sides, a broad beam (width) of some eight feet and a draft of 24–30 inches. Washington's boats were actually substantially larger than the boat in the painting. Washington and his men sailed on a cargo ship that ranged anywhere between 40 and 60 feet long (12 to 18 m). Also on the ships were heavy artillery and horses, which would not have fit in the boat Leutze painted.

There is no shame in drawing for fun, but I can't help but feel a bit embarrassed for not progressing as fast as I would have liked. I should be doing more gesture drawings and practice anatomy, but by the time I am "ready" to draw it is already quite late in the day. I am already 15 min over time if I want to get 8 hours of sleep before work tomorrow.
