OLD CONTENT

Recall that Western paintings are characterized by the need to fill the entire presentational surface with paint, and to simulate a 3D background panorama, which reveals an underlying intent to mimic physical vision rather than to simply portray the subject. This tendency had not yet taken hold in medieval painting which left plenty of unfilled space and do not try to simulate 3D:

and which are therefore not to be considered Western. Space-filling and 3D-simulation really took hold during the leadup to the Renaissance:



and soon came to be considered compulsory:







and the next thing you know we are in **** 3D-Land:































This latter type of material-worshipping painting is what we consider ugly, not the medieval stuff which is fine. On the old forum there was a misunderstanding about this by some False Leftists who turned up and started making fun of medieval painting (thereby exposing themselves as Westerners). This is a recurring trend that clearly distinguishes False Leftists from True Leftists: when rightists claim that "whites" are better artists than anyone else using post-Renaissance works as examples, False Leftists retort by bringing up medieval works (thereby tacitly agreeing with the rightists that the post-Renaissance works are superior to non-Western works), whereas only True Leftists directly claim that the post-Renaissance works are inferior.
