Yeah she got to do an art exhibit basically as a sequel to it, and apparently it was bankrolled by a billionaire family that just won immunity against opioid lawsuits (from totally unbiased judges I'm sure) and is a no-effort cash-in on the Netflix special's brand

Um actually Gadsby got assurance that all the cash she took from the Sacklers didn’t specifically come from their opioid blood money vault, so it’s not problematic anymore

The characters in the first season were so much better but I think the overall story in 2 or at least parts of it were much better. Really liked the guy there to discover his family's plotline, but the other one was way too convoluted. The only people you really cheer for in season 2 are the 2 sex worker ladies.

2 does that :razz: capitalism bad type thing, the first did that so much better by showing how psychotic the rich were based on their interactions with the workers.

It's really shocking that it has so many seasons. I only watched snippets of it growing up so I thought all the sex/violence towards women stuff was towards the middle seasons but it basically starts around season 2.



huh im surprised family guys numbers hit season two cancelation level ten years ago and season three cancelation level five years ago but the show just keeps on going without any hint that its ever going to stop

theres gotta be something screwy going on with how the contracts for shows like the simpsons and family guy are written because it just doesnt make any sense that they keep making new ones when there are so few viewers

I don't think he takes it too seriously, i mean he might but based on that article you can't really tell. I think he's just annoyed that some insane dork hijacked an opportunity to really highlight feminist artistic movements (including those happening contemporary to or in reaction to Picasso!) or say anything honest about the man in order to do marketing for a 5 year old D+ comedy special

I'd be annoyed too if some BA came down to the dicksucking factory and tried to pontificate to me about the art of fellatio

they didn’t read the review

quote:

So far as it has an argument — a problematic — it goes like this: Pablo Picasso was an important artist. He was also something of a jerk around women. And women are more than “goddesses or doormats,” as Picasso brutally had it; women, too, have stories to tell. I wish there was more to inform you of, but that’s really about the size of it. All the feminist scholarship of the last 50 years — about repressed desire, about phallic instability, or even just about the lives of the women Picasso loved — is put to one side, in favor of what really matters: your feelings. “Admiration and anger can coexist,” a text at the show’s entrance reassures us.

Again, without defending the show, this sounds like some real "this is unfair to picasso" poo poo rather than "it's not hard enough go harder"

you mean

quote:

The trouble is obvious, and entirely symptomatic of our back-to-front digital lives: For this show the reactions came first, the objects reacted to second. A show that started with pictures might make you come to wonder — following the pioneering feminist art historian Linda Nochlin — why Picasso’s paintings of women are generally lacking in desire, quite unlike the pervy paintings of Balthus, Picabia and other cancelable midcentury gents. A show properly engaged with feminism and the avant-garde might have turned to Lyubov Popova, Natalia Goncharova, Nadezhda Udaltsova or Olga Rozanova: the remarkable Soviet women artists who put Picasso’s breakdown of forms in the service of political revolution. A more serious look at reputation and male genius might have introduced a work by at least one female Cubist: perhaps Alice Bailly, or Marie Vassilieff, or Alice Halicka, or Marie Laurencin, or Jeanne Rij-Rousseau, or María Blanchard, ​ or even Australia’s own Anne Dangar.

No? No? It's saying that the critique is just "hey did you know Picasso was an rear end in a top hat" which yes true but doesn't actually go beyond that to talk about deeper feminist critiques of his work, about any of the actual women either involved in his life or who were creating art in conversation with him, or really anything other than a making twitter jokes about it. You're completely misreading a very simple paragraph!

E: to put it simply, he's not mad that they're being unfair to Picasso but to, like, art history and appreciation; theoretically the purpose of an art musem
