What a great article!
The article itself proves the premise, since if an individual had not posted it here on FR, I might have never heard of it.
Now I plan both to subscribe to the magazine and to join the other site.

I have never had a problem calling crap crap. Even in the Louvre, or at the National Gallery of art, or the Corcoran Gallery in DC, or the Palace of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco.
That makes me an ignorant fool? Water off a duck's back. Has about as much an effect on me as being called "insensitive, hateful homophobe" ---- by neurotic perverts.

Thanks for the post!

Bravo to you!! I have also publicly called called "crap crap", and in the Corcoran also! I take pride in the fact that I have NEVER bought into these talent-less people
calling themselves artists.

More egregious are the fools who have spent lots of money on the CRAP, thus allowing these pseudo-artists to make a living.

I guess the desire to run with the "in crowd" is strong. The "herd instinct" lives on.

Which is worse: the uninformed viewer who recognizes crap, or the vastly educated critic, who can't distinguish a jar of piss or a smear of elephant dung from a profound work?
