Nah just start Plato

read anything and everything you can
it'll only make the most sense once you've got a large amount of info alraeady comitted to memory
also, sry, but you'll need to listen to a good amount of lectures on history because the 'era of the greeks' is hundreds and hundreds of fucking years and it changed over time

This picture pisses me off more than it excites me.
Fucking instagram whores can't keep their asses covered .

it's true that making her ass the spectacle and not the achievement that is the art in the background is pretty messed up.

like the painting was a reflection of a higher spiritual thing the artist felt.

now all I can think is "hmm it would sure be kino to fuck her next to that painting!"
>salivates like monkey

and it's not like she's really thinking long and hard about the painting, any moreso than she would for a giant glass dildo or a lampshade off etsy. she's just showing off her ass to viewers.

I thought that Bloom doesn't actually come close to any of the statues, he just looks at their stone butts from behind and wonders what it must be like for a goddess to fart and shit.

how do you know it's a dude?

it takes more cynicism and nihilism, or (if we're optimistic here) just plain ignorance, to flaunt your ass in that room than it does to just admire the painting.

indeed would still sniff though

She's exhibiting her ass in public. How do you expect people to respond? Better yet, do you think she expects no response? I would wager that she is intentionally cultivating responses like this.

I disagree.

Artistic beauty can be erotic.

Now that's a great representation of "life imitates art". Even down to the curve of her ass.

is porno on the same artistic plane as religious art?

you're just muddying the waters.

Maybe channel your sexual impulses into something constructive. Kant couldn't have revolutionized thought if he was masturbating all day.
The painter was well known for his religious art and paintings of women.

Why can't you assholes just stay on fucking leftypol and reddit where you belong.

>hurr durr!! A woman letting her ass hang out in public is the exact same as a man without his shirt on. Look random slut #6843, I really btfo'd that guy on the internet. Can you finally let me lick your big toe.

Why do you come here. Can't you be this much of a retard on Reddit?

I would still insist that putting Gustav Klimt's portraits on the same level as baroque cathedrals, Bach's cantatas, or La Pieta is evidence of decay.

But even so, "Girl Showing Ass At Museum" 2k19 isn't quite a Gustav Klimt portrait.

Of course this is just my opinion on aesthetics. In debased institutions that have chased God out and pump out soulless trash on a constant basis, and in a capitalist profane world that uses sex to sell, your views are widely shared.

Everyone does user.

t. cumbrains compelled by their slavery to base pleasure

That isn’t what I am fucking saying

I’m saying she’s probably turned on by the art combined with being in public etc

Every straight man would be attracted to her.

Cry some more, eh

Doesn't mean you need to indulge the senses and fuel your lust, you fool.

oh.

Well even that is kind of vulgar because wanting to masturbate is like user said:
kind of cumbrained. Occam's Razor tells me to doubt that she's having transcendent erotic mystic thoughts ala Margery Kempe, and to instead believe she's just being an exhibitionist.. which she could just as easily do to a Calvin Klein/Victoria's Secret ad at the mall.. except it's her and her partner's fetish to do it at museums.

Oh, could you be anymore pedestrian

do you know what pedestrian means?

go hang out pajeet street shitters and masturbating hobos in front of henna tattoo stalls, you don't know what art is

You're a slave to the elevation you have perceived yourself to get by being "spiritual". Insufferable

Lol for thinking an inherent desire that bond you with people is ‘base’. What is the logic behind that.
You’re a fucking moron.

I agree that she likely isn’t having a transcendent erotic experience, but they are attainable

Embrace your desires.

>do you know what pedestrian means?
Yes, you're the bog standard, mundane version of the advocate against sex.
>you don't know what art is
How fucking pompous of you. And consider that you'd likely just be another one of those shitters had circumstances been different. You think that you're virtuous for not liking tits and ass?

>What is the logic behind that
Incel cope. "Im spiritually and morally transcendent" bullshit. Even celibate priests and monks dont think like that. Pure incel cope, nothing more, nothing less.

>cope! cope!
Repetition is usually a sound of denial. You are seeeething.
What do you know about what any kind of monk does or any kind of spirituality?

I forgot the monks make cum tributes on crucifixes and bodhisattvas, and where nuns go doggy for Jesus. Please enlighten me.

or could it be that you secretly know whatever teen magazine, talk show host, choose-your-therapist info you've synthesized in order to live with yourself isn't really a "spirituality"?

>Repetition is usually a sound of denial
Yes, and you are experiencing full blown denial right now.

No, I had nothing to do with that. You're filled with rage over something so simple as a piece of ass. No one is "cumbrains compelled by their slavery to base pleasure" because we like the cheeks of a woman. You're an asshole. Good luck with that

Honestly dude my first post ITT was So whatever you are ranting about is irrelevant. In my personal opinion I think what the chick did in OP is cringe. I dont care to waste any more time on it after that first second.
Grow up nigga

if i saw that in real life i would fucking power spank that ass
fuck you bitch if you get angry lol shut the FUCK UP ho

I mist certainly agree, my afro-american pal.

are you an intellectual

I have big brain

thats why you're reading plato

I’m not intellectualizing her, I’m saying it’s hot and mixing eroticism with art isn’t wrong.

I'm more of a Socrates guy. I know that I know nothing, so I'm pretty smart, you see

This is so fucking based.

I don't pretend to be above like her ass. But it's like you are completely ignorant of or wish to actively distort the teachings of almost every major world spirituality. (i.e Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam) which is essentially that:
>being a cumbrained horny animal is not a higher, profound feeling
and this is without commenting on arts relationship to female beauty. For instance, Mary is almost always depicted as beautiful in Renaissance art but most theologians and the artist themselves would likely argue that thinking about fucking her to the exclusion of everything is probably missing the point. People generally behave respectfully at holy sites and if this work were placed where it was intended, the expectation would be to be respectful and modest.

>unga bunga nigga yo yo

>I don't pretend to be above like her ass. But it's like you are completely ignorant of or wish to actively distort the teachings of almost every major world spirituality. (i.e Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam) which is essentially that:
No, I object to your own Spirituality. You came off as resentful, not enlightened. I still think that you are. Your memearrowing doesn't help the matter, really

these are all just copes for not wishing to direct your perception inward or challenge your r/atheist views on religion and art.

>*backpedals into oblivion*
Nice damage control faggot. You are truly a coping incel in denial. Dont @ me ever again.

Don't be simple

The painting literally has naked babies.

point being that the art has been ripped from its original setting and context (a church, for the faithful, by a man who was worshipping God) and exposed to the hoi polloi (i.e you and butt girl probably not thinking very hard about what she's doing), and instead of having an experience that is slightly respectful of that context, is now being used for the sake of sexual gratification. If she pulled her butt out at Mecca the ignorance of the act would be abundantly clear, but to mock Christianity is somehow culturally acceptable. Even if you're not religious, if you cannot distinguish between sacred and profane, then you don't understand European visual arts or music.

This isn't me stifling expression of the erotic. This is me frowning on ignorant, philistine behavior and those who enable it such as yourself.

>This is me frowning on ignorant, philistine behavior and those who enable it such as yourself.
But that isn't so in the OP. The picture is framed and taken exactly because they know the "value" of the art in front of them. They are not ignorant of it, and the act portrayed does not inherently mean disregard for the art. They are enhancing the the merit of the picture by taking it exactly where they are. The contrast is clear to see. It is art, but you might not appreciate it

Implying she even knew anything about the painting and it wasnt just the one pictured because thats when they had the window of opportunity to lift up the skirt without everyone seeing
If it was pollock would it make any difference to you?

ok so you are trying to elevate and intellectualize her pulling her butt out and not trying to understand the art work she's in front of at all. Pretending that the juxtaposition of an instathot's ass with renaissance art work is deep is absolute pleb to the max.
did you mean to (you) me?

If it was Pollock I wouldn't really give a fuck desu. He's a 20th century artist working for the CIA and made for the pleasure of New York atheist limousine liberal critics. Intellectualizing showing off your butt in front of it would be quite par for the course and sensible since it's not intended to touch on any "sacred" topic and his groupies probably look down on such concepts anyway. It ceases to be such a travesty to me because I don't really afford his work the same respect. My feeling here would be "profound indifference" as opposed to "contempt".

I don't believe in God.
I don't want to be the slave of my dick.

>ok so you are trying to elevate and intellectualize her pulling her butt out
I'm trying to tell you that it is art, regardless of your assessment
>Pretending that the juxtaposition of an instathot's ass with renaissance art work is deep is absolute pleb to the max.
You are too concerned with what you think is patrician. You also type like any other meme spewing retard, so don't talk to me about plebs

Liking dem cheeks is not being a slave to your dick, though

>stimuli>>>>gives reward>>>reinforces urge to copulate

>no one can make questions of value in art work so shut up
>yeah well you're a pleb for using the patois of the website you're on
>have sex you incel Nazi
cope, pleb

How is that being a slave? It doesn't compel me to take any action. I receive stimuli that is processed subconsciously, where after I processes it consciously. By your sentiment, you'd be just as much a slave to the picture as I am

How embarrassing

>I have an ontological language for why I get boners so I'm not like those other animals

It induces hypofrontality automatically putting your mind in an impaired state that makes it want to execute its primal programming.
