You do an excellent job of distinguishing difference between elitists and real people.
There is great, timeless art, to be sure. But the majority of art is that which brings beauty, joy and meaning to our lives.
Much of my very favorite art was created by my children. And they are masterpieces. ; ).
No actually YOU did the better job! You said in one sentence what it took me three posts to say. And I can appreciate why you love your kid's art too.
So true! It makes no sense to look down on decorative art or to say it is not really art. It is probably 90% of the art we see all the time, from patterns on clothing to wall paper to bed sheets to framed prints. Thomas K's art is commercial. And that's fine. It is very pretty. That's enough for most real people. I would rather look at it than that messed up gunk by Paul Klee.
