“Beauty and Nausea in Venice”
The nausea part reminds me of American cities. Beauty...not so much.
Modern F’art
“the sad and miserable excrescences known as modern art.”
Oh, I like this writer. Want to buy him a beer (but no “lite.”)
“There’s been no beautiful art since Courbet, nor beautiful music since Wagner, nor great literature since Twain.” - said every f****ng moron on the planet.
It might not be quite so bad if the new art at least showed some capacity for creativity and originality - but within the last week alone we’ve been treated to a “live” TV recreation of the classic “A Christmas Story” so bad that one Freeper posted that only five minutes in he wanted to shoot his eye out, and to a reinterpretation of the classic “Nutcracker” reworked for a cast of “poor” people because the “artists” thought it was unjust that the original took place in a grand, comfortable house with rich subjects - it would be so nice if the modern untalented, unimaginative art types would at least leave the old masterpieces alone.....
It’s the leftists in this Venice that make me nauseous. My kid went to a Venice, CA Preschool.
Art is in a state of glut and as such, is useless. Anyone can do museum quality modern art now with the digital tools we now have. It is no longer a matter for experts, it’s just too common. And anyhow, the sort of esthetic that propelled abstract expressionism in the post WWI era is now obsolete. There will never be another Andy Warhol. Romanticism is dead.
