I watched the video and I don't see how cutting commentary like otteromkram pointed out here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42168503#42173585 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42168503#42173585 aligns with their intent to not say anything negative about the artist:
> MOBA curators believe this painting, as well as others in the collection, may have been affected by the artists' never having actually seen a naked woman.
Or how this, with regards to https://museumofbadart.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/photo-21.jpg https://museumofbadart.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/photo-... doesn't say anything negative about the art:
> The model, whose red hair matches the wall color almost perfectly, leans to her right in a pose designed to help the artist avoid the difficulty of portraying her hands. In doing so, she seems to have dislocated her left hip.
This isn't some cubist work where the body distortion was deliberate, it's just a painting by an artist that hasn't mastered realistic anatomical perspective.
I admire the sentiment in the video, and I can appreciate how it's difficult to live up to it. I wish they would go through the commentary on their site and make it more uplifting — I think that would make their creative endeavor of curation more compelling.

- rectang 2y agoLOL, humans are a uniquely vicious species and will never lack for either assholery or self doubt. There will always be sufficient human misery to foster growth.
