An Intellectual History of Abstract Hate

A Good Thread on the concept of “degenerate art” in modern society and its political associations I found a few days ago and wanted to share.

This thread is interesting but the author badly mischaracterizes Romanticism. My thread.

I have a new website, I think it’s pretty neat. Got Little Things and Nervenkrank #1 on there.

Artists, whose imaginations are less controllable than most, have been obsessed with the problem: How can I justify what I am doing at such a time? This has led some to renounce the world, others to become over-ambitious or pretentious, yet others to stifle their imaginations. But since 1914 there cannot have been a serious artist who has not asked himself the question.

John Berger, “Parade, 1917,” in Landscapes

The despair of an artist is often misunderstood. It is never total. It excepts his own work. In his own work, however low his opinion of it may be, there is the hope of reprieve. If there were not, he could never summon up the abnormal energy and concentration needed to create it.

John Berger, “Francisco de Goya” (in Portraits, 2015)
