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. Dunk a crucifix in piss and sell it.
