art,
I make art
no one wants to buy it
people look at it, do not instantly "get it" and move on.
People who I give my art to as gifts tell me how it takes time with uit, but one day, it HITS THEM. they see the shit I put in it.
It is hard to make art for sale. it creates cheap bullshit art. art for the moment and the living room couch, but not for ART.
the art worls right now is fucking tedious and horrible, and it will take a large shake-up to make a new splash.
Looking through artnews, and artforum, and art in america, and all those magazines, I see sterile dead modern work, lifeless bullshit with no joy
I see the old masters and the old classivc paintings and they revel in the joy of life, even insanity like dekooning is exuberant and defient.
art now seems to be just another product to sell, just another product to tailor to the tastest and whims of some fuck looking for status symbols.
while it has always been this way to some extent, it seems pervasive now.
it will all change though. the new breed will erasde the bukllsit of this time, and kill their idols.
