Does it make you feel alive?
That ought to be the sole criterion for judging art.
Does it make you feel alive?
Art is disarming not empowering.
Art kicks your legs from under you. It doesn't affirm your identity. It obliterates it.
Like religion, which art faithfully served from the moment of their entwined origin, art is a means of transport.
The Abstract Expressionists were the last visual artists to understand this. Today, only rock 'n' rollers do.
