Just realised that the website has a built in chat voting system (meaning Ludwig doesn’t have to do a separate poll and potentially misclick) which is very cool Otto

Art is subjective, you could enjoy it through paintings, food, murals and more. I take art in one form only and that is Ludwig Ahgren’s Christmas Album, released December 7/20
Sad to see ludwig diseased...😔
everything is subjective fuck art its shit
Fuck all that. Art is a scam
Literally trash is being sold for millions because its "art".

@13:08
I actually had to do an art analysis on that painting for my class last week so here is a quick lesson.
The artwork was created by Norman Rockwell (1894-1978). It is titled "Freedom from Want" and is the 3rd painting in a 4 painting series titled the Four Freedoms. This painting was created in 1943 and is an oil painting on a 45.75 inch by 35.5 inch canvas and is currently located at the Norman Rockwell Museum.
The reason why it has "Freedom from Want" as it's name is because it was based on the speech from President Franklin Roosevelt and his idea for four freedoms: want, fear, speech, and worship.
Freedom from Want means that people have the right/freedom to be in an environment where they do not have to worry about having access to basic needs. People have the freedom to actively want other things that aren't a necessity/basic need.
The painting itself was used to sell war bonds during World War II and greatly helped raise money. It is said it helped to raise more than $130 million for the war effort.
The capitalization which Ludwig commented on is like that because it is a title/noun. From isn't capitalized in MLA because it is a preposition with four letters. (This is something as an English major I'd think Ludwig would know /j). Ours is capitalized because it is a war bond artwork and often they emphasized words like we, ours, you, family, etc to make people feel more likely to get involved.
Moral of the story, I am a nerd and wrote way too much about it.

He could make even less saturated polka dots
It would sell just because he's a popular streamer. What would be cooler is to actually do this under a pseudonym and have a rich friend of yours buy your shit painting so that the next time you can actually sell one to a legit bastard modern art enjoyer (it's actually what Charlie aka moistcritikal said he's gonna be doing)
Ones made or comissioned by some rich person who gets it appraised by a friend and donates it to somewhere to write it off on their taxes and the other is a neat drawing you get commissioned so you can look at it and think "looks nice"
A very small amount of art is in that first category. I encourage people to go to actual local art shows. Very cool.

This is a fire video idea. Big ups to whoever you yoinked it from.
I’ve seen pewdiepie do it
This sounds very passive aggressive, Matt
Matt Colbo did something similar
A lot of people think that time taken to paint are what makes things important, but that's rarely the case. I work with photographers and I constantly have to tell them that just because you used 5 lights doesn't mean it's a good photo. Terry Richardson made millions using white walls and a single flash.
History matters. Story matters. You can't look at art in a vacuum and say oh this is shit. It's like reading lyrics versus listening to a song.
And I think a lot of art is pretentious BS. But at the same time, we love Ansel Adams because he brought large format film cameras into the mountains and shot things no one else did. But now we have better cameras that give better detail that take the same photo and we care so much less, because there's no history or story about it now.
Thanks for writing that, so I don't have to.
But most importantly, evading tax.
Yh modern art is very subjective but i still believe you can judge them objectively. Otherwise if art cant be judged objectively, the milk i spilled is an art masterpiece, it just isnt sold as one. I get that value in art is all arbitrary but objectively polka dots and many abstract paintings has less thought and effort than others, one just gets sold for higher than the other. Name and credit has more value than the art itself
@@marcus14659 i agree with everything you just said
I think that if you look at a piece of art, and it looks like shit, it is shit. Good art isn't just about the effort, the skill by which it is made is important aswell. When art has a story, that's great, but it's pointless if the thing it's tied to is a turd
Lud pronouncing german words in a french accent is the funniest shit I've seen all week😂

Only the fire and naked people was german but ye
Ludwig: Knows the correct answer and specifically says it out loud.
Also Ludwig: "Toe-may-toe... :)"
XQC-“cheeto” LUD-“tomato” same exact energy
"I unironically think it would be difficult to recreate this...I mean, a photocopier, or a printer, would do it in 15 seconds..."
Ironically that's a big part of why modern art looks the way it does (the invention of photography/mass production that could replicate real life more quickly and accurately than a human artist meant that a lot of artists didn't see as much value in aiming for "realism" in their art anymore, so you get stuff like Dadaism and Jackson Pollack and whatnot, which aim to capture emotions and intangible feelings rather than reality)
Crazy to see an artist make an art piece communicating that they don't understand how art is valued, and then for the said art piece to make enough money for the exact same criticisms to be made about it.
I’m like 100% sure that modern art is just a way to launder money.
@@rastko.2026 it full on is a reason to launder huge chunks of money.
@@rastko.2026 it is well known that art is well overpriced as a way to dodge taxes and launder money. The art quality doesn't matter
@@rastko.2026 Don't confuse "modern art" with other types of art. If someone is willing to pay more than a car for a literal painting, they're laundering money.

@@kidsarecheese9198 "the polka dots on the right are way too saturated the pastel polka dots on the left are much more subtle and tasteful... the polka dots on the left are clearly worth 50 million dollars. if you don't agree you just clearly don't get art."
I'm actually mind-blown so many paintings of really famous artists like Francis Bacon or Gustav Klimt are actually so cheap.
I was shocked about the Gustav Klint one..I for sure thought that was going on be high
the prices are EXTREMELY wrong, that Klimt is one of the most famous paintings from one of the most revered painters of all-times it's easily in the tens of millions. there isn't a Klimt in the world outside of the millions..
he must've gotten the price from a reproduction by accident
2003: “Landhaus am Attersee” sold for $29,128,000.
• 2006: “Adele Bloch-Bauer I” sold for $135 million.
• 2006: Christie's auction house handled the sale of four works by Klimt:
- The portrait of “Adele Bloch-Bauer II” sold for $88 million
- “The Apple Tree I” sold for $33 million
- “Birch Forest” sold for $40.3 million
- “Houses in Unterach on Lake Atter” sold for $31 million.
• 2011: One of the “Attersee” paintings sold for $40.4 million at Sotheby's.
the problem with pricing The Maiden is afaik it's never been sold
@@dinospumoni5611 To me it honestly seems like a lot of these major big time twitch streamers have an actual vendetta to discredit abstract art and make everyone think it just amounts to money laundering. I unsubbed from moistcritical after he bashed Jackson Pollock and Damian Hirst. I didn't even know about Damien until Charlie took a giant dump on his name and I looked him up and was pretty amazed by his work. These kids need to seriously think about the messages they're choosing to broadcast to their viewers, because they do have an effect on public opinion.
Yea I was crying of laughter when this man said the painting “the old guitarist” was worth in the thousands it’s literally a painting estimated to be over 100 million dollars
cheap and expensive art could legit both be paint splatters, and i wouldn’t be able to tell the difference
That's because there is objectively no difference. Art is a just advanced tax evasion.
Kinda disagree, you can definitely tell in general. The problem is when people pay for the signature over the painting, which happens with the more famous painters.
@@nihlify Dude millionaires literally pay a guy a couple grand to put a couple dots on a canvus then get one of their friends to give it a multi-million dollar appraisal. Donate it to a gallery and write of millions for tax purposes.
@@nihlify you can't tell they're different because the value of modern "art" is based entirely on random chance, 2 unknown people could make the literal exact same "painting" and one could be worth millions while the other is a dollar

Ive been teaching Art and Art history for 5 years now. Thats not long in my profession but one thing I can say is that most modern abstract work is rip offs of past ideas to try and make easy money from snobs. They are shallow expressionism

Of course, with Ludwig's constant evasion of taxes, he would be able to tell the cheap from the expensive.
Ludwig cut out the part where chat gaslighted him saying it was 2-2 and he spent 15 minutes going through the VOD trying to figure it out
I’m in a lot of art classes in college and surrounded by a lot of art majors (I’m in the classes for 3D modeling) I don’t understand why stuff sells for so much.
There’s literally a painting that is literally just 1 color called “blood red” and it’s literally just the color dark red, and it sold for like 80 million
Usually its the artist behind it and the materials used, 80 million is obviously not what it costed but over time it builds notoriety which builds the price. I used to not understand abstract painting or painting that had 2 colors or a painting that was one color with a white stripe int he center and thats it, but shockingly enough it was a sculpture class I took in art school that made me understand. I feel like my teacher was specifically talking about Richard Serra and maybe also watched a documentary (its been like 6 years I forget) but it after that when I went to museums I had new appreciation for these paintings and a lot has to do with the color selection, negative space, ect. and also the fact that a lot of these artist were the first to do this because before it was all about scenic paintings and still lifes but this was a big fuck you to people like "hell yeah i just painted this giant canvas red, what are you gonna do about it".
Find it funny how he is referring to $425k being more than most cars when it is thousands more than most houses in the US. Just not in California.
16:12 Monet painted it when he was blind, so I guess you could say he drew with his eyes closed.

@@foodfrogs6052 LMFAOOOOOO
The thing is the value of art for the most part doesn't come from the technical skill it took to make it. It's more comparable to something like the sneaker industry. The shoes that make you run the fastest aren't necessarily the most expensive pair. Art is a lot more enjoyable when you look for pieces that resonate with your own self, not just looking at price tags and scoffing at how "little skill" it probably took.
It also comes from the painters name and after painters get famous they can get lazier imo
it’s like what john lennon says ‘the only people who think you can own a song is record labels’ very similar rules for paintings as well
also that Klimt is easily in the tens of millions idk where the hell Otto's getting $4000 from, he's one of the most revered painters of all-time
im a senior in college for fine arts, i feel like this video was made for me thanks lud
Honestly there has been a big trend (well its kinds always been around but more so now) of have art the is intentionally poorly drawn and scribbly. Most people are classically trained do it and it actually takes a lot of work to make planned decisions but make it look as though I was random. When I draw its almost too clean so I will switch over to my left hand. Also art history is pretty cool guys :D I loved learning about it and it kinda helps you understand why pieces can raise so much in price
It's happening even in the tattoo world now
@@tiffanylastinger3925 Oh yeah it is I literally got one on my leg lololol. I was talking about it with my tattoo artist and he is a professor at a college most of the time but the rest of the time he gives tattoos. I think he called it "nonsense tattooing" and how again most of his friends who do it are traditionally trained artist. I personally love it
Lud should love the art market, it’s all for tax right offs
Write off?
I hope Ludwig is “right off” aswell, I want him to be doing OK.
Ludwig complaining about the struggle of finding a doctor is so relatable
What I'm understanding from this is that below $200k is actually reasonable in terms of what's worth more/less. Things that look like they require more skill actually cost more. Beyond $200k, though, it's ridiculous, and no one could possibly guess.
Lots of high price art that’s kind of shitty is rich people getting fake price evaluations to donate a piece to a museum for tax breaks and such. Actually a big problem in the art world that’s not talked about much
It's videos like this that show how much you REALLY care for your fan base, respect bro
4:33 I might be mistaken here, but if that is part of Francis Bacons triptych titled "Three studies for a portrait of John Edwards" that triptych sold for 80 million dollars
I think you’re right. Not sure why it was marked as $8000 here.
I go to art museums events A LOT. The first prize winner did not get anything but $500 in prize money. Didn't even have the painting sold. (It costed $1k). To say the least their painting was amazing and extremely detailed. (Winners are voted by the people). An elderly lady sold her pastel sketch that night for a total of $4k. (Was not near the top 5). It was on a large canvas, but it looked like mud was slapped onto the canvas. You will see these quite often. It's all due to the artist's name and art collectors. In some way, art is subjective. But what it means to be an artist...well, it's about connections and the relationships you build. It all starts with showcasing your work and then getting to know people. You are the salesperson/advertiser of your work. No matter how shitty it looks.
16:25 Monet actually suffered from cataracts toward the end of his life so a lot of his works from like 15 years before his death are very blurred and undefined.
As a very passionate artist I can confirm that “modern or abstract” art is stupid and dumb as hell and we all hate how expensive it often is. Especially when it goes up in price just because the artist dies and a rich person sells it
it looks good lol, the only ones in this video I don’t understand are the polka dots
@@methyl5682 it looks trash
That second one looked like Leonardo's work. Lol I recognized a lot of his drawings with that medium. Arguably would pay a decent amount for an authentic piece drawn by his hands. Idk. Not like I envy him or anything but he was a great thinker of his time and I personally think that's kinda cool.
Not recognizing a Rockwell… and it’s one of the Four Freedoms… least American thing I have seen. The Cummunism got to him.
Also the impressionist (Monet seen here) were really influenced by Japanese wood block prints. Van Gogh was a huge fan and had a big collection of Japanese prints.
I mean, to be fair, museums buy these on auctions so the prices are expected. At some point an artwork becomes a national treasure, legit treasure so millions of dollars are a fair deal.
"(in 2019) United States museums contributed 50 billion U.S. dollars to the economy."
As many people say, Art is subjective. But what I think sells art is not the image but the expression.
That's why some people prefer "drip painting" over "detailed landscape art". I do.
10:27 fun fact, it’s written in italian not french
i find it crazy that I could actually appreciate most of these. Fine art/expensive art usually irritates me cause of its laziness
Shout out to polite who had to edited out him being stunlocked by chat for 20 minutes
the chat spamming “scam” or “rigged” are such baby rages
Abstract art isn't bad but it is very overhyped in the art world for no good reason. There are people out there who try to derive objective meanings behind color pallets and patterns then drop millions on those same paintings. It's pretty cringe to be honest. The reality is art is priced at whatever someone is willing to pay regardless of perceived quality.

Being an Art History major, this is something I have waited for my entire life. Roast high brow art and their ridiculous gatekeeping for no reason!
14:22, he played halo music in the background, the man is officially cultured
its also good to take into consideration that an artist may have sold a piece of work for $1000 but as rich collectors buy and resell the work the price of it gets higher especially if the work is rare or from an acclaimed artist. this could boost the price to millions of dollars like the river III painting. also good to take into account that the artist often sees none of this money. art world is super fucked
also yes lud you are uncultured
ALSO people can just find shit in a dead artists studio (if the family allows it) and sell that shit for thousands…
it has some sense tho. the thing is fame,,, you can do some spots of paint and sell them for thousands if you have the reputation. also some of the works are really expensive bc of the history there's behind them or how long ago they have been done.
Ludwin could tell them apart easily
Liebstraum no.3 by Franz Liszt is the background music. Very beautiful I played it recently and it brings back good memories
The thing with some of the sketches is that, if they're done by a famous painter, they'll be worth quite a bit.
Edit: Monet painting something called the Japanese pond is very French of him. So, we see back when Japan was forced to open up it's borders all these artists became the first weeaboos. They collected Japanese ukiyo-e and such and even copied the style into their work. People also decorated their homes with Japanese things, so them making a Japanese style garden he was able to go and paint tracks. They had a lot of fun with cultural appropriation at the time.
The piano piece is liebestraum no 3 by Liszt
Wait, so my finger painting from the 1st grade could sell four thousands of dollars?
17:05 Tomato.
I watched this art doc a few years back they sold this Chinese millionaire a painting of a blue square about 4 foot tall and 4 foot wide, it was literally just a canvas painted blue nothing else, 1 million dollar asking price.
a lot of art history goes into pricing as well so that could play part

Also Ludwig: *gifts thousands of dollars to random people who are not his friends
I think art is more expensive depending on the stuff used on the piece and person behind it .
Always felt like the price of any modern art depends on what the rich decide the price is so they can say they donated that amount to whatever so they can write it off on their taxes

If the piece itself isn't that great, it's the artist's clout that raises the price. And that only goes for originals, not copies. That goes for any industry. A hand-written letter by James Joyce is way more expensive than a copy of one of his books.
Twitch chats shaking devil head no double or nothing made me burst out laughing
Art goes for more when the artist is dead so unfinished paintings or just sketches go for lots because they are the last of that artist. Sad but true reality of the art industry

Some paintings that are famous I think are very cool, and I think I understand why this is expensive, but some of them I think wow, this painting that looks to be done by a child is a million dollars.
