do normal people think that the whole loomis/watts/proko style looks kitsch? I've never heard anyone call it that

calling “realist” art, and particularly the atelier-tier realism was widely dismissed in the (((art world))) at kitsch. It got to the point where Odd Nerdrum self proclaimed his work as new genre called “Kitsch”.
My guess is the woman has no idea what actual kitsch is. When she started seeing the atelier books in her local book store and realized she’d never get that gud she googled it and found the articles calling it kitsch and she embraces it yo make herself feel better.

It is kitsch, its a sandbox "ready-made, easy, minimal creativity" way of doing things.
But I would add that doing Kitsch has its benefits.
The most enjoyment I get is when I do abstract art with a hard emphasis on not repeating myself. And no one gives a fuck about it. Effort does not equal reward. And that is fine.
Art is a pure thing, which is highly "inner circle-ish", meaning that most people will have no clue in what you are doing or saying.
Just my 2 cents, dont get mad if you are doing kitsch, it has its good and bad like everything else.

Kitsch in this context generally refers to excessive sentimentality on one hand and/or “popular” rather than “sophisticated” sensibilities. When done “knowingly” and/or “ironically” it is basically the same as “camp”.
It can be very very well executed, have taken much effort and study and can even have involved deeply considered and hard won meaning or message. It mostly just depends on what the (((art world))) considers “profound”. For some, symbolism, mythology, history, traditions or standards of beauty and so on are profound and to others they might be seen as cliche, “meme-tier” and so on.
At the end of the day it’s a judgement and an insult - usually from people who don’t possess the skills they are denigrating (whether they want them or not).

I don’t think the woman who called OP’s work kitsch knew who loomis was or could distinguish it from any other representative/constructive figurative work. If OP was doing “sight-size”, Reilly, Russian or any other method of getting consistent “accurate” results for whatever purpose, she would have likely called it kitsch.

Thats what Im saying also. The look, is the problem, not the brand "Loomis".
Its a sandbox thing, you are doing a thing in a particular way, and sticking to it as gospel.
NA children who do art should take a chillpill on Loomis and Hentai/Anime, imho. But there is a market for it, so its nurtured. (almost everything abstract is regarded as shit, with this market based phylosophy)

I don’t know anyone who “sticks to it as gospel” and I don’t know a teacher who presents it as such.
One of the main reason such methods are taught - were ever taught - was for the ability to work consistently and effectively, for professional artists who were on the clock and needed to understand their subjects to a degree that made them specialists and authoritative. Until abstract art came along, art was it. No tv, no movies, no photographs, no real free press. It was for posterity, tribute, propaganda and education. Not really connected to self expression or originality. Or at least thats not why anatomy/proportions/likeness was taught.
Everyone can spot a bad, ignorant, or flawed beg-tier drawing and almost no one genuinely prefers it or wants it. You cant conceal it with abstraction or creativity. If any attempt is made at reasonably realistic representation, areas where ignorance and lack of skill are readily apparent.

I wholeheartedly agree with you.
The skill ceiling can go high, but it is "low" creativity. It is what it is, i dont hate on people who subscribe to such methods. But I do dunk on people who dont understand abstract expression, and think that there is for shitters (those mommies doing weekend art are probably shitters anyways)

I’m not trying to be argumentative but by that logic creativity without skill is “low-skill”. It may or may not be a meaningful categorization.
Without a particular intent It’s not “low” anything - unless it doesn't even achieve what it intends to. Thats easy to spot. High Craftsmanship can involve aesthetics and judgement and tradition and emotion every bit as much as what someone else means by “creativity” but may not be recognized as “creative” by someone who likes, I dunno, zippy colors or dramatic “movement” or something.

All this is really to say that when something gets called kitsch by the (((art world))) it’s not generally because it isnt “creative”. It’s because it’s considered tacky, lowbrow and sentimental. (Usually by complete assholes).

They cant draw. When these (((academics))) actually can draw they dont hide it because kitsch.
The old masters taught their students in their workshops with tracing, copying, templates and so on. Any mere novelty or secret method was a matter of competitiveness during an era when they were still trying to figure stuff out.
But the artists worked in competing institutions - workshops, guilds, church-patronage, later came schools and so on. Methods were practiced and taught. Believe it.

Its Russias academic art tradition. Uses more construction than Western European meghods. They now have a course in it at NMA but I obsessed over it for years trying to find clear, often old soviet-era manuals on VK and shit.

Good on you Anon, Sargent was an original.
Ill give you an ironman to your weak little argument, you can even go back to the 1600s and study the ACTUAL masters like Rembrandt,
who was skilled and highly creative, he also drew lines which were not "there" in real life, but every single line in his drawings is a catalyst for bringing out the character of a person or animal.

Anon is an phylosophycal infant trying to make things klitsche pretty instead of learning how to actually draw in school.

>bold outlines which DO not exist in real life

This... This is it.

The stupidest possible objection I've ever seen on this board. This is peak /ic/.

Hey, Anon. Did you know that almost no outlines exist in real life? That they're just a way of representing the way our brain separates different objects and planes from each other?

Thin lines are just as much of a lie as thick ones. If you approve of thin lines and object to thick ones you're merely a hypocrite. If you don't realize they're all the same lie, then you're an idiot.

If your objection was that it's bad stylization, that'd be one thing, but objecting that they don't exist IRL is beyond imbecilic.

Not everything someone drew was supposed to be seen by the world, this was probably him skipping corners in a sketch he got sick of. If you look at his more rendered work and paintings, lines are rare to spot. When an artist uses lines to convey form in a realistic piece, it is lazy and unprofessional. There are no lines in real life, just contrast.

It's like saying someone is a hack, Kitsch is the art that hacks make. It's made for wide audience appeal and it's shallow, and it relies heavily on things the viewer already seen. Pretty people pretty places, beautiful things because they are beautiful

Are you calling elvgren kitsch? He basically defined pin-up girls. Sure, copying his style now in 2020 would be considered kitsch because his work is so recognizable and everyone has integrated a bit of his work into pretty girl illustrations (same as he did, taking from gibson girls).
But his actual original work is fantastic and he is obviously a technical and design master to back up his basically 1940 coomer art.

i can see how it could be considered that way. Throwing a photorealistic figure into a painting doesn't make it any more or less meaningful or pleasing to look at, in fact it can be distracting and kind of obnoxious. You could compare it to music, being good at an instrument doesn't really have much to do with your ability to write a good song. Figures in paintings may as well be the equivalent of an extended solo, impressive and nice when appropriate, but they need something more for the song to be considered great, and not always necessary.

Thats not to say technical skill isnt worth pursuing, i just think that it by itself doesn't make a good picture

Kitsch means "I hate this thing emotionally but I know it's objectively good and I have no logical resource to criticize it".

It's just stuff that's aesthetically fine but doesn't conform to the current narrative.

I get what you are saying by that but my example pretty much completely defies what you are saying.
And I also see that the current atelier system does produce copy drones that seem afraid to color outside of the lines. But to be fair, those who study at an atelier need time to develop a style after the 4 years or so of school. Great foundation technically but a definite lack of originality. But that isn’t what is learned there. Just method. Also to be fair, that whole system is predicated on the view of painting being a trade that did mostly what we have cameras for today.
But contemporary “art” has thrown the baby out with the bath water. I believe we are on the cusp of, not a merging of the two, but learning from and sharpening one another. Exciting!
