Wiki

A celebration of candid masterpieces

r/AccidentalArtGallery

Influenced by r/accidentalrenaissance, this is the go-to sub for all art styles. Found a candid photo that looks like it could be right out of a painting from the Middle Ages, Pop Art, or even an Ice Age cave drawing? Post it here!

Photo evidence of life imitating art.

The origin of this subreddit

Find a candid photo that looks like it could be a painting from the Middle Ages, a Warhol Pop-Art poster, or a Ice Age cave drawing? Post it here! All art styles are welcome!

Rules

1) Link Directly to the Photo

Photos must be directly linked, and not to an entire website page. For Imgur, URLs must end in .jpg, for example. You may resubmit if this was the reason your post was removed.

2) Flair Your Post or You MUST Ask for Help!

We don't expect you to know art. Try your best, but if you use "Help Classify" you must IMMEDIATELY post a comment asking for help and explaining why you thought the photo belonged here. Do NOT post a photo and assign a random flair. The mods will ask you your reasoning in the comments, but if there is no reply the post will be removed.

3) No Grossly Staged or Altered Photos

This will generally be at the mods' discretion. Photos should not be staged or altered to look like a certain art era, and filters should be minimally noticeable. Some editing may be inevitable especially with photos from professional photographers, but it should look as close to the real thing as possible. Keep it candid.

Photos of paint splatter are no longer allowed.

4) Only Actual Photos

No paintings or drawings allowed.

5) Don't take a pic of something that looks like art. That's not accidental and will be removed.

Photos that break this rule will be removed at the mod's discretion. Example: "I saw [thing] and took a photo because I thought it belonged here!" If you see something that could look like art and you take a photo for that reason, it’s not accidental. The realization that your photo looks like a fine art painting should be a lovely surprise after the photo was taken, not before.

6) Original Content Should Have [OC] in the Title

7)Photo Must Look Like It's From an Art Era

Photos must look like they are from any specific art era. Photos that look like a certain style of movie, tv, photography, etc. will be removed. Photos that are lovely but do not resemble any specific art era will be removed at the mods' discretion. They will be happy to give their reasoning if asked, but please know this is not done without due consideration. Also, an explanation may not always be given.

8) No Posting to See What Flair Will Be Assigned

The mods are not here to do the work for you. You should have some kind of idea about why the photo looks like a painting before posting so try your best- that's all the mods ask for. We don't expect you to be an art historian, just don't abuse the system.

9) Cross Posting is Fine

10) NSFW/NSFL is not allowed at this time.

11) Discussion is Great! Just BE NICE

Users who disagree with a submitter's or mod's choice of genre are encouraged to articulate their disagreement and engage in good-natured discussion in the comments; submitters are encouraged to respond to disagreements and/or post a short comment of their own explaining their genre choice. Please don't downvote classifications you disagree with.

Reddit rules apply. This sub is for the love of seeing art and beauty in everyday life. Be awesome to each other.
