So I claim that 'I don't put much truck in art,' yet go on to assert that I may not be able to stop or may continue without even realizing it. No, if I'm reluctant to style myself an 'artist' or doubtful of the validity of 'art,' I've been imbued with these values by the culture in which I was raised. Still, this loathing of images is entirely misplaced, which is, I think, why it is a loathing . Picasso is a genius. I don't know about art, but I know what I like.
Artists are elitists.
Art is irrelevant. All those striped-pants artists ever do is sip wine at trendy openings and kiss curators' asses. Advertising is getting really arty. Arts and crafts fairs. You gotta have art.
