The reason they hate it is because of the Marxist view on art. Marxism views art as only being relevant in terms of how revolutionary it is compared to its time. The classical western view on art has been entirely different. The classical western view of art is that art should be something long lasting and beautiful. Something which displays the culture of the people that made it. Art in the western sense is the essence of tradition. Western artists have tried as hard as they can to make paintings that won't crack, and statues that won't break. Marxist art is designed to be short lived and anti-tradition. It's designed to be revolutionary to what came before it, and to not hinder the revolutions that take place after it. A woman with her legs spread as period blood drops down onto paper will not last forever. The woman will need to eat, drink, and sleep. And even if she didn't, her period will only last a week. This art fulfills the Marxist view on art, because it is revolutionarily different from art before it, it makes a statement about "equality" (feminism in this case) which fulfills the fundamental Marxist creed, and the art will have to be taken down eventually and can't last forever. This is the absolute height of Marxist expression and art. Marxism, which is opposed to tradition. And nothing is more traditional than a marble statue.
The ''progressive'' and beauty
They hate beauty because beauty isn't egalitarian. You could make the argument that beauty in terms of art is subjective, but physical beauty is fairly objective and people know this deep down. I really think this is the brick wall that leftists will never surpass. You can't fool the eyes. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is just signaling.
Of course it is. Physial beauty ultimately goes in line with one's use as a mate. For women, it's signs of one's use for incubating and caring for children (hips, bust). For men, it's signs of one's use for dispatching predators and providing resources (height, musculature).
Agreed, but what about facial beauty? I can make the deduction to biology with the hips and bust, but the same can't really be made with facial beauty right?
The ugliness of their art reflects the ugliness of their souls. Beauty to a lefty is like light to a vampire.
A bad tree cannot produce good fruit. And lefties are rotten trees that produce rotten fruits.
Male facial beauty also links to one's use for dispatching predators and providing resources. A study that tallied how reproductively helpful women rated the facial attrativeness of men had the most threatetning men as the most attrative.
I figure Lefties/SJWs/Progressives are averse to working and by default anything else that requires sincere effort. That's why they're fat blobs who pursue desk jobs.
How can you say that when pagan Greek and Roman art and writings set the standard of beauty for ages.
I implore you to read ted kaczynskis writings on the psychology of the left.
He makes mention of this, the left are masochists who hate anything strong and successful.
10. By "feelings of inferiority" we mean not only inferiority feelings in the strictest sense but a whole spectrum of related traits: low self-esteem, feelings of powerlessness, depressive tendencies, defeatism, guilt, self-hatred, etc. We argue that modern leftists tend to have such feelings (possibly more or less repressed) and that these feelings are decisive in determining the direction of modern leftism.
15. Leftists tend to hate anything that has an image of being strong, good and successful. They hate America, they hate Western civilization, they hate white males, they hate rationality. The reasons that leftists give for hating the West, etc. clearly do not correspond with their real motives. They SAY they hate the West because it is warlike, imperialistic, sexist, ethnocentric and so forth, but where these same faults appear in socialist countries or in primitive cultures, the leftist finds excuses for them, or at best he GRUDGINGLY admits that they exist; whereas he ENTHUSIASTICALLY points out (and often greatly exaggerates) these faults where they appear in Western civilization. Thus it is clear that these faults are not the leftist's real motive for hating America and the West. He hates America and the West because they are strong and successful.
16. Words like "self-confidence," "self-reliance," "initiative", "enterprise," "optimism," etc. play little role in the liberal and leftist vocabulary. The leftist is anti-individualistic, pro-collectivist. He wants society to solve everyone's needs for them, take care of them. He is not the sort of person who has an inner sense of confidence in his own ability to solve his own problems and satisfy his own needs. The leftist is antagonistic to the concept of competition because, deep inside, he feels like a loser.
17. Art forms that appeal to modern leftist intellectuals tend to focus on sordidness, defeat and despair, or else they take an orgiastic tone, throwing off rational control as if there were no hope of accomplishing anything through rational calculation and all that was left was to immerse oneself in the sensations of the moment.
20. Notice the masochistic tendency of leftist tactics. Leftists protest by lying down in front of vehicles, they intentionally provoke police or racists to abuse them, etc. These tactics may often be effective, but many leftists use them not as a means to an end but because they PREFER masochistic tactics. Self-hatred is a leftist trait.
