"The Will And The Deed" could describe the aims of the William Morris circle or those of the albeit lesser informed late '60s/early '70s USA. Much came from the former. Not much from the latter. Both were short-lived. Both were reactionary. The former was beaten by manufacture, the latter by the march of fashion. They both missed the purest reason to make art: personal delectation. Philadelphia's UARTS... Good. Any more, art school is mostly fraudulent. Sandbox for borguois kids with daddy's (or your) money. You can learn art but you can't teach art. You can teach or impart certain kinds of seeing. I didn't comment on the other items because we already know how awful everything is.
It seems the logical progression from ostracism for being a "Zionist" would run through rejection for simply "looking Jewish." After all, given the (selective) hypersensitivity of the woke crowd, the mere appearance of Jewishness could prove too triggering, threatening or offensive. It could happen.
It may be pointless to go on about Duchamp's bathroom fixture, but it strikes me as a bad joke which was taken very seriously and was predictably transformed into a noxious influence. Still, one would think it would have run its course much sooner, but human folly, not to say stupidity, is immense.
Sir you astonish me ~
How do you keep up with all these items? 😲🌪
Honestly, I should stop.
The Greeks, because they understood digestion, allowed themselves one tragedy a year.
