New Mexico is the Land of Enchantment, but I am not sure that time travel is possible. The painting was actually created at her home in Ghost Ranch which has a beautiful view of Pedernal.

    hitler was not scared of modern art. hitler saw how the arts had been infiltrated and was trying to regain control of German art. Sure, there was some proverbial throwing the baby out with the bathwater, and some of it was ideologically motivated (i.e. Picasso since he was a big communist), but if you actually look at the degenerate art exhibit, much of it was garbage that was pushed by a system that was not theirs, some of it promoting degeneracy and disrespecting Christianity. I can't even imagine what he would think now if he saw the art that is out now. He'd be appalled. Remember, Hitler was an artist too, and he was rejected from art school when Egon Schiele got to graduate. Hitler was a much much more skilled draughtsman and painter by a longshot. The whole system had been corrupted at that point, and they had thrown away their baby of classical art and academic art with their bathwater as well.

    Hitler fought anything but modernity. His army and their technology was as modern as it could get, he had very progressive and modernist views about animal rights and even when it comes to art, he didn't fight "modern" art but abstract art, often made by people who opposed him and whose "art" didn't reflect the ideology of the nazis, meaning hard work and fighting spirit. I think you got more than one thing wrong here, most importantly: modernity isn't some holy grail against supposedly evil traditionalists (who are anything but that).

    The avant garde became the establishment. It was degenerate then its still degenerate. Most western people feel starved for beauty within art because art schools teach the same BS narrative as this video: "Beauty is fascism". Its been 80 years & all the best stuff is purely decorative abstract & pop art - at worst its just ugly anti-art faux intellectualism that is decidedly anti-western. The emergent backlash will shock & surprise those who didnt head the warning about degenerate art.

      @@arthistorystorytime it isnt restricting individuals making ugly art if they desire, its disgusting idea that it should be centered within [western] culture rather than othered. Its been centered by the degenerate avant garde since 1946. Its this very thing that made the nazis reject it first, then later their enemies, the soviets did the same. The public hates it & it hates the public. Ugly dada style art repudiates every value beloved by healthy people. Degenerate art is defined by its unhealthy values & worldview. It discourages as it demoralises. It affirms & celebrates ugliness & unhealthiness & is expressed by mentally unwell people as well as people who just hate everything old, everything western, hate society, etc. Mutants love ugliness since it reflects back their ugliness as a power since these works are filling up many spaces that would be displaying beauty instead. It deserves 2 be othered, moved away from culture's center stage. It deserves 2 be defunded by the state & it will be shortly.

Also, Leni Riefenstahl's genius as a cinematographer is hard to isolate from the Nazi state message. I guess art doesn't happen in a vacuum and the political influences seep through.

    If one does a bit of research they'll discover that Hitler was an failed artist himself early on. Hitler's life was full of disappointment and he was an unhappy person. His rants and hysterical public tirades were evidence of this. Embittered because he had no success as an artist, he attempted to silence those who would be successful. Bitter people often try to destroy what they can't achieve or control. Hitler ended his life in suicide when his days as a tyrant were over.

      @@allangault9500 not at all. I'm a fan of his work and the persona and the factory crew that followed.

    Pablo took opium in 1905-1910 period when he started Cubism. Most artists of the period tried it. Amongst those with more than a passing interest were Picabia and Cocteau.

    Thanks for making the point about Picasso and opium. This was written about in the book by Picasso's mistress, Fernande Olivier. She and Picasso were smoking it just at the time of his breakthru to Cubism. No art critic wants to talk about it. Artists sometimes use substances to get visual breakthroughs at special times, provided they have talent and are masters of their materials and have done the hard work of thinking and researching beforehand, as Picasso did. You must already be a visual person, if you aren't, it won't help you become an artist.

      Agreed! It’s not an automatic artist skill boost and in some cases could serve as a huge distraction instead of having any benefit.

    There is an amazing metalwork Haring piece (considered to be his last I think) inside St John the Divine in Manhattan where they had his funeral service mentioned in this video. I highly recommend going to see it! There are written statements from him there too about the nature and acceptance of death that are very moving
