Let's take all this nonsense about art. Come on, guys. They can say terrible things about God, but they cannot say anything about art. It's like the holiest of the holies. And believe me, I'm an atheist in both ways.
Art is nonsense.
But of course Alex Melamid calls himself something different, an aertist, not an artist. The masterpieces most of us think of when most of us think of art, Michelangelos or Matisses, Rembrandts or Roscoes, Vermeers or Van Goghs, according to Komar and Melamid, so many false idols, no more worthy of esteem than say the latest elephant abstraction or a blue pastoral from Portugal. Well, Aertist Alex Melamid wouldn't be a bad guy to let out some of the air. All Rights Reserved.
