This research branch is dedicated to the identification and investigation of right-wing art, its qualities, and its effect on the individual and humanity as a whole.
Last round, we focused on individual pieces of art. This week I encourage the expansion of that focus toward a corpus, or body of work, surrounding the locus of a particular artist. Submissions may concentrate on one piece in particular, but should reference at least one other piece in that artists' corpus to defend your answer to the question, "What makes this art and artist right-wing, as opposed to dissident-left?"
As this research branch is a continuation of last week's around, projects may include cumulative elements. For instance, someone could focus on Marcell Jankovics as an artist, referring to their analysis of "Feherlofia" and comparing that to "Sisyphus" and "Az ember "tragédiája."
Rules are:
1. It must be produced after 1800.
2. You must post a freely accessible digital version alongside your analysis so we can see your source material.
You can refer to this post to see my old questions for consideration.
New questions to consider in your analysis:
1. What differentiates left-wing art from right-wing art? Both might criticize capitalism, but was is their implied alternative?
2. Is the dichotomy between left-wing and right-wing parallel to the prehistoric differentiation between sky-cult and earth-cult as identified by Evola and Paglia? Or is left-wing art only something which has existed since the rise of industrial urbanism, therefore making all pre-industrial art necessarily right-wing? If the latter is true, then what differentiates right-wing art of the pre-industrial era from right-wing art from the 19th century and beyond?
Suggestions for artists are:
Josef von Báky, most famous for the 1943 film, Münchhausen.
Edgar Allen Poe, most famous for his 1845 poem "The Raven," but lesser known works include "The Imp of the Perverse" and "Sonnet to Science."
H.P. Lovecraft, most famous for his Cthulhu Mythos, beginning with "The Nameless City" (1921).
Gottfried Benn, the five-time German nominee for Nobel Prize, beginning his career with the collection, "Morgue and other Poems" (1912).
Carel Willink, the Dutch painter and pioneer of "imaginary realism," who began his career in 1923. He was inspired by the "metaphysical art" style of de Chirico, which itself came into being by 1910.
You might take a look at Christian Schad.
This round will end on Sunday, October 7th, meaning that all votes must be tallied by that day. The last day to submit a contribution will be Friday, October 5th. A winner will be announced on October 8th.
The following days are currently open for submissions. No more than 1 person may make a submission each day. First ask, first choice.
