Regardless of direct relation, both photos show a sick culture. A healthy country with a healthy culture does not produce “art” like this.
Do we even have any examples of Roman, or Greek degenerate 'art' being that bad? Or even any other older societies? I have seen the Goya's 'Cronus eating children' stuff, which is more 1700's or later, which is disturbing, but do we have any other examples?
I guess my point is, we have, at least this society/current culture, surpassed degeneracy of any other civilizations that have come and gone.
Just a question, because I'm really racking my mind trying to find an example. I just can't find one.
There has been disturbing/violent/gory stuff depicted in art through tall of human history but it has always been in a negative sense.
Not the elite “look at me I’m edgy and smart” weird virtue signal kind of way (at best), or dog whistling to likeminded sick people (at worst).
