More importantly, how are we going to free ourselves from the continual strife and upset every small pressure group exerts on everything anyone tries to do? And when will we outgrow our morbid fascination with the bad guys and recognize the heros in our midst, again, especially in schools?
Limited proficiency in my view. The negro boy is somewhat handsomely painted, but the other figures look to be very amateurishly done...why the discrepancy?
In any case, I think the strife will lessen when the citizenry at large is no longer coerced into supporting art which is directed at the destruction and mockery of that same citizenry. In other words, when the art is allowed to stand on its own.
A very good point. I think it is part of the politicaly correct, anti-achievement mentality where art has to be deconstructed until it is non-art. Any pseudo-art that is permitted must have an anti-social, anti-Western meaning. There is also a strong element of moral relativism. Some axe murderer or child molester is shown to be "sensitive" -- maybe even a superior being -- if he can doodle a drawing or write some incoherent prose. As an added bonus, normal people who don't appreciate the monster's "art" can be denounced as being insensitive, maybe even evil.
