If art is intended to elevate us and open a line to God, what does the repulsive ant-art being produced today do? It’s only a celebration of ugliness, chaos, and ineptitude. From music that is little more than doggerel set to simplistic jungle rhythms, to sculpture that is cluttered collections of detritus, to paintings that are more janitorial than inspirational, art has been reduced to pedestrian mediocrity incapable of elevating anything but the artist’s bank balance.
It takes care of itself. We don’t need to worry that one day people would get conditioned to liking ugly art. Just like if someone in city governments decided to feed us cardboard, he only outcome would be growing revulsion at the cardboard food and at the left wing feeding us the junk.
The people producing the ugly stuff don’t believe in God and have intentionally shut Him out. Their “art” reflects that separation.
Well said!
