What’s with me is that the Right has lost any connection with western culture, popular or high art. Whether it is thinking that “Kismet” is a musical written by jihadis or that Picasso is a bad artist - when he is a seminal figure in the 20th century - or that Dan Brown writes good books about Leonardo, over and over again freepers show their appalling ignorance. Not all but too many.

When you’ve lost the culture through sheer lack of interest in reading and observing, you’ve lost the war.

From that other thread I mentioned above...

Ah! The enlightened art crowd of Free Republic weighs in with the usual results. ...

"I think he [Pablo Picasso] was a very great artist. Very highly trained, btw"--miss marmelstein

LOL!

Now here below is a TRUE "very great artist" (Rembrandt!)

The only hole in your theory......the Left is far, far, far more ignorant than Freepers.

I "read and observe" constantly, and have all my life...but my interests are in science (PhD/Chem) and history. IMO, art would be far better off if Picasso had never been born.
