    If you assume ai has artistic intent then sure I suppose.

    That would apply to parody too though. So what is it, scrambled art en croute?

      My understanding is pastiche is a homage, a parody can be as little as "this look sorta like that". Imo pastiche would require intent and I'm not so sure an ai has intent.

        I dunno, I think that's part of the magic of the Black Paintings. To me, what makes them truly unsettling (in the best way) is the fact that he painted them exclusively for his own desire and that we're limited to guessing the subject matter (which, although ambiguous, was undoubtedly dark).

        Insanity created some of the most definitely gothic images ever. Goya is so slept on. I'm especially partial to his etchings

          No, a pastiche would be in the same style. This one is more like Goya by way of Norman Rockwell.

            Maybe you’re thinking Alan Moore in V for Vendetta?

            Artists use lies to tell the truth, while politicians use them to cover the truth up.

            Definitely didn't originate with Alan Moore. I've seen it attributed to Pablo Picasso but I think the first is probably Aristotle.

              Ai, it's a parody of a famous painting "Saturn devouring his son".

              I'm actually grateful that it is. I'd hate to think a human spent time on this. Imagine the psychological damage.

                      I'm sure there are quite a few people that would love to see him choke on a flag.

                          The political prints about Spain and Spanish politics are particularly interesting to me

                            It's a reference to Goya a Spanish painter.we don't really know if this painting was about chronos, that's a theory.

                            Huh, neat. I tend to believe it is anyways with that previous sketch and simply belonging under the umbrella of Romanticism but there's some solid points there against it.

                            Just the point that the buttocks are too round to fit a typical male depiction is pretty compelling.

                                I was actually expecting it wasn’t him and was hoping that I would find the original when I searched it but he was the only one that showed up - for my query at least. Thanks for the extra info!

                                  Just worth pointing out: three of the five children eaten by Saturn(Cronus)were women, and the very first was Vesta(Hestia).

                                    If we ever have another elected president, I hope that one of their first acts after undoing literally everything that the orange menace has done is to replace every picture of trump in any government building with this.

                                      On the other hand, he’s well known for eating things he wants to hide. He eats notes after meetings.

                                      I would be surprised if he hasn’t had someone redesign the US flag for him, based on his ‘vision’. So eating the flag to hide it is totally on brand.

                                          This is based on Goya's famous painting "Saturn Devouring His Son", if anyone was wondering.

                                          Imo in this original painting Saturn is horrified either to be doing this at all, or to be seen doing it.

                                          So I don't think the poetry transfers to trump here.

                                          I know this is shit posts but we're also discussing high art so...
