There is art and then there is decor. Sometimes the two coincide, but more often not. Intentionally utilizing stylish color combinations in imagery that suits the current trend is the lifeblood of practically every artist, even up to the level of those with some regional fame and recognition.
The artist who completely refuses to accomodate popular tastes at an accessible price point in producing decor, but yet still manages to prosper, has invariably gotten the imprimatur of the progressive aesthetic elite, which leads to “public” art commissions. This art is almost uniformly bad but very political. It’s intended to offend the traditional. They hate everything about that.
When my son was very little, and decorated himself, his high chair, and his immediate surroundings with chocolate frosting, that was the best art I’ve ever seen. It was a combination of performance art and ‘painting’ at their best, and I miss that kind of art.
