He Knows What He Likes
I was on YouTube watching the trailer for Art School Confidential. A major theme of the movie is what a sham art school, and, for that matter, much art, is. Beneath was this comment:
Modern art RULES, this film is a joke made by bitter artist. We have thown away elitist tastes, bourgeois values, religious pandering, imgination constraining technique and artworks that glorify patriarchy,oligarchy,war,and money. modern art has adopted anarchy,freedom(all types of styles permissible), personal development of the artist(in film, auteurism over factory production-and yes I know right now there doesn't seem to be too much of that to the typical Hollywood fare viewer).art=revolution
At first I thought this was a parody--almost performance art--from someone trying to make the modern mindset sound ridiculous. But looking at it again, I think the guy is serious. I'm not going to bother arguing with him, but note he supports "anarchy" and "freedom" as far as what styles are permissible, but believes content needs to be strongly policed.
