>> That is true, the real artist makes things they can sell because people can use them.
Good point.
There is very little produced today in the field of “art” that deserves the classification we normally attribute to the great works of the ages. Instead, the vast majority of today’s true art is rendered through engineering and ironically goes unnoticed despite the creative skill and imagination required for its realization.
The pragmatic complaints expressed within this thread concerning the vapid nature of modern Liberal Arts are legitimate.
The mockery of conservatives that enjoy the simple pleasures in life is juvenile. To hold up liberals as an advanced intellectual form of the species for the affinity to the “Liberal Arts” is asinine.
Yes, the responsibility of paying the tax bills does in fact steal away time from being creative.

I'm going to give you the same answer I gave to another person who made a similar comment:
Clichéd response.
Why is it that many people here think "The Arts" consist only of visual arts like painting and sculpture? Are you not aware that "The Arts" also consists of literary arts, and performing arts (music, theater, movies/TV)?

Sorry, it just came to me.
Call my comment “Artistic License”.
Many of us little people see today’s “art” as nothing more than a venue for Liberal Propaganda. It works splendidly.
Music is propaganda?
Some is, some isn’t.
Which is? I’m talking about music not lyrics or text. I’ve hear the assertion that atonal music is inherently liberal which is asinine.
