Vincent van Gogh since seeing his Sunflowers 🌻 series in 3rd grade art class, especially after learning in my 20s that we share migraine disease. Louis Wain is a close second with "Cat's Nightmare" (my profile picture) being one of my faves.

Also, I went down a 90s kid nostalgia trip recently and watched some FernGully clips. Anyone remember that movie, specifically Batty's rap? It was about vivisection 🤯 I was tempted to post it in the music community lol.

Van Gogh is another of my favourites. I remember seeing a Doctor Who clip a while ago where they bring him to the future to show him how successful he becomes posthumously. I've never seen Doctor Who before but that clip really moved me.

Wow, same here! I hadn't watched the show either and that clip had me blubbering.

I mentioned this a while ago, but my favourite artists are Frida Kahlo and Francisco de Goya.

Both extremely powerful. It is amazing to me in the time of cheap imagery where we are surrounded by media and art all the time on our phones and printed cheaply everywhere how impactful their images were in their time

[-] josie@vegantheoryclub.org 4 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I feel the same way. My favourite period of art is Surrealism (with Goya generally considered to be either the first surrealist painter or the last traditional one, included him anyway tho). We studied his work during my first year of Art History including how the sort of "hierarchy" surrounding curated art has evolved over the centuries.

...

This is a chill space

Asking me to pick favorites is not chill. I put A LOT of thought into "taste".

[-] hamid@vegantheoryclub.org 4 points 1 month ago

Tastes are ephemeral and can change at any time!

That makes it even more difficult.

Do you know how hard it is to have 4D taste?

The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.
