I have a hard time understanding this community regarding the aftermath of the Pentax 17 release. A new camera is developed and produced for the first time in over 20 years and it gets a ton of hate?
"I wanted a full frame camera" Yes, we all do, Pentax to, they have said repeatedly that if this is a succes they will probably go for a full frame camera and even a SLR. With the amount of people only posting pictures on social media, half frame shouldn't be a problem.
"It's to expensive, a used camera on Ebay is much cheaper" It's a new camera, brand new, with warranty and spare parts to go around, I've had 2 Minolta A7 and 1 Canon 1N that gave up this year. No to mention the multiple compact low quality cameras that works 50% of the time. The Canon 1V had a release price of 1700$ (3000$ adjusted for inflation).
"No one shoots half frame" Yes, multiple people do, it's a neat format with double the amount of exposures. People act like every frame they take will be print the size of a living room.
I get that the Pentax 17 isn't for everyone, but it is a milestone in camera development that hopefully will lead to a new slr, which the community really wants. If you don't like it, fine, but stop hating on the first camera release by a major camera company in over 20 years.

A painting that leaves the viewer feeling happy, sad, scared, empty, etc is one thing, but a painting that is physically difficult to look at or that fills you with hatred is an entirely different and quite rare thing.

I’m doing some research for an essay I’m working on, on what pieces are better seen in person, so like the Sistine chapel, or last supper or Gustav Klimt’s Kiss because of how the light in the museum reflects on the gold paint. But I want the list to include more than the “classics” and be more comprehensive world wide not just Europe and North America, it’s just tougher since I have not travelled much and museum websites are not always up to date.
What pieces have YOU seen in person on your museum visits that have stayed with you? Any and all help is appreciated!

I’ve been in the online art community for probably about a decade by now. For some reason in the past 2 years specifically, the comment section of pretty much every contemporary illustrator has at least one comment asking “what’s the name of this style” and it’s so baffling to me?? like what does that even mean? what is this obsession with labeling art styles that younger artists (esp on tiktok, i swear the whole “jelly art” thing made this so much worse) seem to have? obv there are actual categories/movements with names- like folk, naive, etc, but that’s almost never the kind of art i see this question under. I had someone comment this on one of my tiktoks a while back and i genuinely could not come up with an answer. it’s my art style? it doesn’t have a name, i didn’t pick it out of a phone book??
