It’s all equal huh? Michaelangelo’s David isn’t any better than the Golden Arches at the local Mickey Ds?
I never said things were equal, I only said that only literati care about the distinction “high art”. It’s a very specific phrase that is only used by a very specific crowd. I would say that David is better than the arches, but I would never use the phrase “high art” to describe David or anything else, being not a lit nerd it’s simply not in my lexicon.
