Art

"Bad art only masks the good art." I actually read these words recently. Probably in that most useless of publications, the NY Times magazine. What a pretentious load of unmitigated crap. Good art is masked only because one can't, in any way, shape, or form describe why it differs from bad art.

By its very definition, art is in the eye of the beholder.

All art appreciation is a matter of individual interpretation - if you are saying anything about a piece of "art" you're gonna make up whatever you can to make the "art" match your expectations. This is, at its roots, drivel, and sadly, worshipped by pretentious art people everywhere.

Can you imagine a college-level degree in art, art history or art appreciation and then actually expecting ANYONE to pay you money for the nonsense you know?

Good luck.
