[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m highly educated and even studied the humanities more than the average person I  come across.

There’s a lot of art and a lot of art commentary that is absolutely vapid.  The people who fawn over this subculture and create an air of importance and prestige around this art should be ridiculed more than they are.

I like art, I like modern art, and I appreciate a wide array of art that may not be everyone’s cup of tea.  But there has to be a line drawn somewhere and the [b]breathless descriptions of the genius of a paint splatter or a black line across a canvas [/b]deserve nothing.  It is a grift.[/quote]

Where have you seen/heard this? (other than parodies of the art world)[/quote]

Glenstone has several rooms right now filled with nothing but colored panels. A canvas painted red, another black, another green, etc. They're just titled that too, "red panel." Very little detail on what it's supposed to mean and no there isn't texture or anything besides just the application of paint on canvas. It's worth checking out. I'm not generally skeptical and like modern art but this felt like a joke.[/quote]

I had a friend who spent several years working at Glenstone. She reported a backstabbing, ultra-condescending culture among her colleagues. It shows in the way they display the artwork and the restrictions placed on the public.[/quote]

Dp I can assure you the halls of Exxon or any other corportation are filled with backstabbing, ultra-condescending culture.  It's what humans do best.[/quote]
