magneto: how do you have so much faith in humans to do the right thing when they have proven you wrong time and time again?

y’all things are actually serious here in Texas, tons of people are without power and temperatures are at record lows. it’s supposed to snow again tonight and a lot of people are stuck where they are with limited, if any, resources and food.

abstraction for the sake of abstraction misses the entire fundamental purpose of art which is that it Says Something even if you don’t mean it to Say Something and all pollocks art says is “i have managed to remove all aspects of personality and substance from the process of painting” and 8000 male critics were like OAHAGAGHSB nuts everywhere. anyway purely technique-focused art is fucking boring and anyone in the world could shit out the same thing if they tried for a few hours as opposed to actual good art; when it comes to good abstract art then sure maybe you could replicate the technique easily but the feeling and the message behind it are impossible to duplicate and that’s what makes it interesting and worthwhile.

Adding on to this the only reason pollocks paintings were ever accepted in the art world was because America was trying to propagandize American individualism by pushing the ‘We cherish our avant-garde tortured arteests unlike the FILTHY COMMIES”  as if the man’s shit doesn’t look like every painter’s drop cloth. This is also the time where they pushed a lot of graphic type stuff like warhol and basically the entire 60s was the american art worlds “look at me im not like those other white guys” phase
