![]() ![]() Honestly it’s probably impossible to put into words just why it makes you feel the way you do, but you know it when you see it. It’s a visceral reaction, open to everyone. People don’t need to “get” real art you experience it. It gives us a straightforward presentation of our legacy, offered up freely to the public for their insights, appreciation or rejection, no Yale stamp of approval needed. The Mid-Morning Art Thread is a remedy to that totalitarian snobbery. This pedantic approach is used as a weapon to convince people art is not for them, just because they don’t “get” the pieces of politicized crap our cultural institutions have inflicted on us as surrogates for real art. The assumptions of academia have indoctrinated us all into the “correct” ways to think about art. Per the latest corrupt Ivy League agenda, the soaring achievements of the past are now nothing but grist for the grievance mill, yet another field to be choked out by Wokeness.Īnother part of the stealing of art has been accomplished by over-intellectualizing it. Part of this theft is to cut us off from our artistic heritage, the art of more creatively accomplished ages not degraded by the Postmodern disease. We have not lost art, it has been stolen from us. Elitist mismanagement has marginalized the arts in the West, and caused a crisis of relevance. If you are like most people I’ve met from outside the art bubble, you can’t do it. They have been hugely successful.įor example: Quick, name your favorite living American artist. They believe, correctly, that losing art will undermine our society, and make us easier to control. I’ve written before about how the Postmodern establishment is working hard to exterminate the experience of real art from our culture. But I feel there’s something important happening here, mixed in with the calls for “more bewbs” and warnings about where snipers might be concealed in the artistic scenery. ![]() ![]() The art works offered up inspire snap judgments, a whole range of reactions: praise, abuse, informed anecdotes, puns, limericks, lewdness, inside jokes and pop culture references all appear in rapid fire succession. Being Ace, the commentators don’t hold back. Once a new thread gets started later in the day, comments are closed for the Art thread, so time is short. The self proclaimed Morons are free then to comment, though it is requested the first 100 comments stay on the art topic at hand. Occasionally a contributor named Kris will add some intelligent art historical analysis of the piece. (CBD stands for “Charlie Brown’s Dildo.” That’s a mental image I work very hard to resist.)Ī great range of works have been displayed, from Old Masters to art of this century, and everything in between. Sefton, another moderator, CBD, posts an image of a work of art to start a new thread. Usually on weekday mornings, after an effective aggregate of the daily news arranged by moderator J.J. Its consistent disrespect towards pretentious elites is a fine old American tradition, and is especially needed these days, as we enter a new phase of the existential struggle for the future of this nation.Īs an artist, a regular feature of Ace caught my attention. Because despite it’s studiously immature style, the analysis on Ace is sharp and illuminating. Ace is a nice counterbalance for all the serious yet prim hot takes offered throughout so many other sites of the conservative blogosphere. The humor there is biting, the wit caustic, the tone irreverent. It’s a site I visit multiple times daily, eager for the latest sardonic commentary on the news of the day.
