Art vs. Karma, Picasso vs. Van Gogh
findigart, Israel
Art and karma are playing a game?
If you care to be recognized and esteemed by the art establishment, I think that the whole idea is to first convince the art community that you know what classic art is, that you know how to be an "academic" artist.
Once you have proved your expertise in the formalities and rituals of classic and academic art, once you have been ordained into the consensus of the art establishment, you can more or less do whatever you want and there will always be at least one art critique that will find some rational and artistic justification for that.
I can only assume that sometimes, even the artist himself will not understand what that critique is talking about.
