"Seeing murder as art is nothing new. The writer and opium-eater Thomas De Quincey identified murder as a fine art in 1827."

One of the more interesting and recent theories about Jack the Ripper, is that it was an artist, whose later painting included knowledge only known to the police and the killer. Sorry, can't remember the guys name.

ART has embraced barbarism decades ago, which is one reason, why ART hasn't produced anything worthwhile in decades.
