Manifesto: One of Us Must Be Mad
● Art history could do better without 2nd half of 20th century and early 21st century western art. The average is a pile of crap. The pace of their industrialization has been much faster than their too fussy but too kitsch art developments. WWIII might do them a favor! I don’t blame anyone who doesn’t relate to this nonsense. I don’t blame anyone who relates to this nonsense either, otherwise they would look like a 19th century moron who doesn’t relate to post-avant-garde-nonsense.
● Ambiguity can be good, but not to the point that can make every meaning possible and therefore meaningless. I have more respect for a blank canvas.
● If the intention of pop art was just to become popular, it has done a great job.
● My used palettes look more beautiful than most of the abstract paintings, and I’ve chucked lots of them out.
● A camera has been taking much more realistic pictures than any photorealistic painting, and much faster. I thought realism was killed, how did it reincarnate as something even more absurd?
● Still Marcel Duchamp’s urinal is the best conceptual art. It showed what-is-it-all-about before it all began.
● Digital “art” is good; for those who don’t want to bother with painting.
● And this AI “art” is the latest nail in the coffin, on which they are dedicatedly busy banging.
● If you suffer from lack of content, keep changing the book cover will help to keep you in the market.
● You can’t judge art – that’s correct – but you can judge whether it’s art or not.
