No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

It is true that art styles cannot be reproduced properly (close to the actual style of the original work)? Looking for a concrete answer

I call bullshit.

If someone hung some out of focus water lilies and labeled it a newly discovered Monet, most people would believe it. The biggest of experts may find details that don't quite match other Monets, but if those experts were involved in the forgery, they could easily make sure to check those boxes.

Saying they can't be reproduced is just arrogance, or gatekeeping.

No disrespect to the artists. They deserve the respect for what they do, and creating their own style is half the challenge, but saying it's impossible for anyone else to do the same after that, is a stretch.

Also, some of the great artists work was potentially done by their students, further proving that style can be replicated.

Plus, an artists style can change and evolve over time.

...You need to clarify what you mean by "properly".

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No. You can replicate someones art style.

~~Please explain your reasoning, because art forgery is definitely a real thing.~~

I can't read

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think you read what they said wrong.

[–] earphone843@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You're absolutely correct!

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

I was going to downvote and leave some snark lol But then thought nooo i can see misreading it. lemmy double check here.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 10 points 1 day ago

What no. People accurately recreate art by other people all the time, and have always done so.

Where is this question coming from?

Restaurators go to insane lengths to repair art pieces, often not just replicating the style but also authentic materials and techniques.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

There's a long history of art forgery.
