Monday Modern Art Madness #9: Egon Schiele’s “Seated Female Nude”, The Anti-Laci Green Style Feminist Aesthetic.

In this series, Monday Modern Art Madness, as the frequent readers know, from the beginning i have pledged to take on the precarious endeavor of bringing the art world (as degenerated, bogie, and far left as it is) a wee bit closer to some possible convergences with reactionary, right wing, “Traditionalist” with a capital T, etc. thinking. Its hard to define what “modernism” in art is, or “Post-modern” art, and from experience, it is as a matter of principle it seems, even harder to define what “right wing” or “reactionary” means now a days. What every person on the Right, from the most mild of conservatives, to the most esoteric of niche Reactionaries, seems to agree upon when it comes to art is the loss of human decency and virtue. “Pornography is passed off as art don’t you know!” Well this may be true, I feel there is some loss of potential when you tend to throw the whole art world out with the feted modern world bathtub.

No artist has gotten as much of a scathing critique that sounds the same “this is just pornography passed off as art!” than Egon Schiele.  Today we look at another piece of what has been dubbed “feminist art”, or Proto-feminist art that most Right wingers would most certainly label as “degenerate”, “obscene” or “pornographic”: Schiele’s “seated female nude, elbows rested on right knee” (1914).
