>>4323502Ridiculous to assume that some western metric of “fundies” makes something immediately better.
The sacred gooks were drawing things flat as a pancake before westerners showed them perspective. Was their art bad? Cavemen draw all kinds of crazy variations of perspective and design principles, yet it’s more fresh than anything produced in the heights of roccococo and other disciplined arts. African masks etc. Not trying to sound like Liberal Arts Professor here but you’re wrong, fag
In fact, a huge symptom of the generic /ic/ mindset is the kind of boring, soulless but highly skilled crap churned out by people who believe skill is a means to itself. It’s not, it doesn’t stand up by itself, you need the kind of raw ingredients that lots of naive artists have in bucketfuls because it’s all they care about
Though I will concede, if you could somehow transplant loads of technical drawing skill into Rousseau’s mind without altering his personality and expression, then his work would be pretty baller
