Gender Problems in 19th Century Arts

User avatar
Hylas-and-the-Nymphs.jpg
Comrades, I would like to praise the noble guardians of social justice at the Manchester Art Gallery for removing paintings which demonstrate "problems with gender."

In a heroic blow at the patriarchy, and a triumph for revisionist history, art must now hold value only in the context of modern social justice norms. We can be assured that the very history of humanity will be removed whenever it causes offence among any person. Soon, only state-approved art will be displayed, delivering messages of social justice and equity - and nothing else.

Gallery Nixes Naked Nymphs Because #MeToo

Honestly, this crap is too real for parody. Life and The Cube should not be the same.

I'll bet 'The Vetting of Trump' by Acosta is still exhibited!

In my zeal to live life to the fullest, having a shit job for a boss who is shit and working 12 to 14 hours a day trying to communicate with my coworkers through feckless hand signs and basic phrases in Spanish all the while trying not to get killed on the job what with all the safety protocols being thrown out the window with reckless abandon, it gives me great solace to read of this article and of that great human endeavor, art.

How magnificent that we can appreciate the unmistakable pressure on Hylas as he is battling the social norms. Looking mournfully as he gazes upon the nymphs wondering of his own sexual identity, he finally takes the plunge and perishes in search of a better way.

Lamentations my friends, lamentations. And yet, somewhere there is a Pollock painting hanging in a gallery upside down because the curators had no idea which way the art was to be presented. At least Maplethorpe had the audacity to make sure the north south conundrum was solved in his salacious attempts at making art pretty.

I am now one step closer to have seen everything.

Colonel, I thought you were having a bit of Socialist fun with us when you said this could not be parodied. I was wrong, sir.

"For me personally, there is a sense of embarrassment that we haven't dealt with it sooner," Clare Gannaway, the gallery's contemporary art curator, told The Guardian. "Our attention has been elsewhere...we've collectively forgotten to look at this space and think about it properly. We want to do something about it now because we have forgotten about it for so long."

Remember kids, like Commissarka of Contemporary Art Gannaway says, think collectively and properly. And make sure that you purge unacceptable imagery sooner rather than later.

(And since when is Victorian Art considered part of contemporary art? Why is this person who should be deciding which way is up on some abstract paint splash making decisions about Victorian Art displays?)

Note, too, that all the personages in the offending "art" are WHITE. And, I might add, all humanoid. This "art" is so multiphobic that it would take a Commissar Curator of Intersectionality to catalog the plethora of multiplicities.

The whole idea of "art" is elitist anyway. What makes one daub of color "art" and another daub not so? The walls should be left bare so that The People™ can express themselves upon the now-open-to-all surfaces.

Here, fixed. It can't be removed now. Those stupid Victorian prudes just didn't know what's good for them.

Art loving Comrades,

In recognition of her inspiring work in the area of intersectional vacuity, the First Annual Craptek Art Show and Storm Door Installation Symposium will display an original Clare Gannaway selfie entitled "You Knew What I'd Look Like, Didn't You?"

Perhaps these noble warriors and many other such guardians of social justice will be able to amend such inequality and offenses as seen in the Vatican. Decades Comrades, decades......

Most Equal Colonel 7.62,

Several years ago all of the actual dyed in the wool Progs I know (all family I'm afraid) were in a whirl over the destruction of Diego Rivera's "Man at the Crossroads" in 1934. The original contained an image of V I Lenin and a Soviet May Day Parade. They went on endlessly about the evils of censorship and all of them made a pilgrimage to Mexico City to see the recreation "Man, Controller of the Universe". Diego Rivera upped the ante by including images of Trotsky, Marx, Engels, and even Charles Darwin in the recreation.

I showed those same Progs this article and all praised Gannaway for removing images that offend their sensibilities. I reminded them all of their concern over the Diego Rivera mural and now none of them will speak to me.

Even though Stalin said that gratitude is a disease of dogs, I want to thank you. This will make the Thanksgiving table a lot quieter this year. I might even avoid an invitation! Awesome!

Fellow "fish out of water" Red Salmon,

Advise a Prog against their will,
they're of the same opinion still.

Everyone knows that for Western womyn, their attire is a form of "art."
