By David Albertson American visual arts often face a no-win situation.
Contemporary works speak to critics but fail to connect with the average, even educated, viewer.
In the best of worlds, we'd have a pop art truly for the people and not only the critics, an art resonating with the complexity of daily life, both appealing and sophisticated, both for mind and for soul. Not arty art. Living, breathing art. A superb exhibit at the Aronoff Center's Weston Gallery satisfied both my mind and soul when I visited this week. It is a gift to see.
