Totalitarian Art

That is so wrong!

 

Eh? What wrong?

What is that pic, Komsomol doing civil defence training?

 

No, the pic you've posted befor that(post#10):" two dudes naked, holding each others hands".

Call me homofob or whatever, but if i'm completly naked, the only people i leting touch me is thouse with tits and vagainas!

EDIT.
Don't know much about picture i posted above. Just some random pic i found on the net. Thought it was totalitarian enough to pass in to the topic.

 

Well, Troglodyte is an appropriate name then

What do you know about Heroic art? There are absolutely no homosexual connections to that picture. Have you been in the army? There you'd have more than your fill of male nudity in the shower rooms, and again no homosexuality involved at all!

And believe me, homosexuality in Nazi Germany mean an immediate ticket to the Extermination camp, so no fear there too!

As for your pic, look at here, they do look sinister, don't they?: Airminded · Seventy-two gas masks Since when was Britain Totalitarian?

 

I'm pretty much aware that there were no sexual context involved when this statue was made.
There was a common practice for young men in ancient Greece to have sexual relations among each other. Nor was it wrong to have a statue of two naked males holding each others hands in Germany during 1930's.
However, time change things. If two males would hold hands like that (even with close on) would be no doubt wich sexual orientation they belong too. I'm not actualy saying:"It's wrong!", i'm saying: "It's gay!".

Have you seen many guys holding hands in army showers?
Makes me wonder what army you were in?

I'm aware of that too!

Yes that. Your picture is something typical that comes to mind when i think about cold war. That we seen for 40 years or so on both sides of the wall.
School. Kids taking gas masks on, going down into bombshelter while some of the teachers taking time. Rutine.

Anothe picture is looks surreal to me. Something is off. I don't know, maybe it's just me. Looks like it could be from Fallout game series.

EDIT I just read the text with in you link. It is actually pictures from 1930s. Interesting...
Sorry for pulling this thread offtopik.

 

Suggestion: go to Finland and have a few saunas there. I assure you, I myself found it rather unsettling at first, but the motto I was given was "when in sauna behave as if in church". After a bit all inhibitions were off and it all became quite normal

When Nazis didn't like anything that wasn't straight figurativist, they called it Degenerate Art Look at this experts line up :lol:


Even Piet Mondrian was condemned!

 

Looks like a partial map of the city...only streets names are missing.

 

More monumental architecture, Kharkov's Red Square (now Freedom Square)

Today:

 

Nice to see the Viking influence in Portugal, its just like back home..
Not surprised however, we discovered the world...

Or it may be a reminiscence of the sort of 'armed tourism' your ancestors used to do :lol:

 

Haus der Deutschen Kunst, Munich. See parts 2, 3 & 4 too.

"Adolf Hitler was a genuine patron of the arts, with a love for painting and architecture, but only a patron of those arts of which he approved. Having been a painter in his youth, Hitler considered himself the supreme critic of what was, and was not, proper art. Modern "degenerate" art was definitely out. To promote "proper" art Hitler had the Haus der Deutschen Kunst (House of German Art) built in Munich, to be the scene of special yearly exhibits. Hitler placed his photographer Heinrich Hoffmann, along with director Karl Kolb, in charge of choosing the art works for these annual exhibitions."
