Everything is Beautiful...
...Except what isn't.
My friend Scott sent a link to this excellent essay. The author's appraisals of modernism are remarkably insightful and reflect my own views regarding some of the continued attempts to fill our world with garbage under the delusion that creative inspiration is somehow being advanced.
It's easy to turn one's nose up to those who favor a more traditionalist aesthetic, imagining that they somehow lack the rarified insight of academia's pseudo-rebel snob network.
In spite of all the posing and haughty appraisal, sometimes the emperor just doesn't have clothes...and somtimes the artist doesn't have genuine creative talent.
