Makes sense that AOC joined them, then. But she only listens to the ocean between her ears.

AOC, Ms. "It's okay if you lose your job, it'll give you more time to do art."

What is it with Communists and art?

I swear their whole goal is to avoid work so they can sit at home and make macaroni pictures.

Infantalism.

Most people's definition of "art" is truly garbage, and can only be supported by a socialist system. In a capitalist system, your art has to actually be something that people find value in (as in, will pay $ for). Hence, the need for talent. In a socialized system, you get paid whether what you produce has any value or not.

I tagged along for some theatre scouting and saw a multi million $ anti Russian (the pussy riot girl's) production that involved a man being suspension bound and peeing himself while he was up

it was, like, a metaphor for Putin doing Russia dirty or something

Just saying maybe it's not capitalism vs socialism that determines healthy artistic scene but rather Jewish-liberalism vs not??

As we stand enraptured by the stunning resplendency of Mark Rothko’s Untitled (Yellow and Blue) we bear witness to what can only be described as an unequivocal masterpiece of twentieth-century art history. A glowing aurora of shimmering color and light, the present work confronts us as the summation of its creator’s deeply philosophical practice, wherein he staged some of the most moving, transcendent, and simply breathtaking unions between material and support ever realized in the grand tradition of oil paint on canvas. Rothko once described his ideal vision for his paintings: “It would be good if little places could be set up all over the country, like a little chapel where the traveler, or wanderer could come for an hour to meditate on a single painting hung in a small room, and by itself.” (the artist cited in Exh. Cat., Riehen/Basel, Fondation Beyeler, Mark Rothko: A Consummated Experience Between Picture and Onlooker, 2001, p. 22) Executed in 1954, at the chronological apex of the celebrated period of Rothko’s career referred to by David Anfam, author of the artist’s catalogue raisonné, as the anni mirabilis, Untitled (Yellow and Blue) is a triumphant archetype of this artistic ideal: its radiant surface and towering scale elicit a visual and somatic experience that is prodigious and undeniable, compelling us to surrender to a sense of pure contemplation in the face of its painterly authority. For Rothko, art was capable of provoking in the viewer an existential sense of awe and wonderment for the sublime miracle of existence, and in Untitled (Yellow and Blue), as we stand suspended in its sea of meditative calm, we behold that capacity wholly and perfectly achieved.

IDK- in a free/capitalist society, there's literally a definable value to work- whatever someone is willing to pay for something, that's its worth. If people are creepy enough to pay $ to watch people piss on themselves, and you're making money off of those people, and it doesn't endanger me or the public- go for it. I don't need to be a critic of other people's taste in "art".

I just think the public funding of art (other than literal public art, like stuff that goes in public parks/buildings etc.) is shady. If the art has value- monetize it. If it doesn't, then get a job and support your efforts yourself.
