Sea Rex, if you take the "liberal" meaning of art, you will see that bad art is the best propaganda. You think that a lot of people don't appreciate art, is the average braindead sitcom art. The average stupid Japinimation cartoon on the Fox Block? The average song on the radio?

If you view art in the same "liberal" respect that I do, than yes, it does make good propaganda... considering that's what it's intended to be. When you said "bad art is..." you didn't say that you meant "art" in the same context that I use it. Your "bad art" comment seemed to be nothing more than a tie-in for your "Sacrilegious Sentiments" statement, and in that sense it would be the kind of art that general public is not usually exposed to.

If it is good to you, you probably view it in a very selective, snooty "only the smart guys get it" attitude, just like me. And probably everyone on the board.

Oh PUH-lease, Statikk! First off, the word "snooty" couldn't even come close to describing any of my personality traits! You can't just assume that just because you're selective and snooty, that a love for art equals 'snootiness'. Secondly, you don't have to be smart to enjoy art... Just look at the examples you listed above. Or have we stopped talking about "liberal" views of art? Is that it? We're talking about "museum" art, now?

Now, this will go quicker if everyone here admits that most "Art" they like, and most art in general, is complete trash.

Yes, by all means, lets
ALL just agree with Statikk for no good reason other than he is telling us to. OK, when you say "most" art, are you speaking of these liberal views again? Or are you saying that all of those lovely paintings, sculptures, and skethches should be tossed away as they are nothing more than trash? Jeebus, man. Every once in a while you'll get some crazy that sells his shit to famous museum, but that is a definite minority in the art world. And if you
are still talking about art in the liberal sense, than yes, most TV is absolute crap. Happy?
