Cubist stuff...not art...it is shit.
Geometical patterns done in a mosque...only kinda art....wood burning with a magnatron....not art, shit.
Mattise...art, bad art but art.
Neo-Classial "trash" as you put it....not only art some of the best art.
Of course this is coming from someone who thinks Thomas Kinkade and Bob Ross are geniuses and Picasso was either scamming you elitist pricks or at the very best he was trolling.
But I have the right to disagree in whole or part. Elitist snob? One of the attractions of some Mexican restaurants is a mural painted by some local artist... it may be utilitarian, but it is still attractive. The more that I see of Norman Rockwell's depiction of a world more fragile than it seemed at the time and recognize that many of its virtues are fading out, the more I recognize its value. The world changes, and we evolve.
I see no difference in theory between using a computer program to generate good decorative art and using brush, paint, and canvas -- or stained glass. Or motion picture camera and film.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
