Be careful, Confucius!
I see you painting yourself into a corner... You better, better, better NOT say that you love Wesley Willis!!!
for the last time:
I am not arguing for some rigid, unchanging, old-testament criteria for the judgement of art set in marble.
Because when I see contemporary Arabic Typography, look at a porceline vase from 4000 BC China, read a novel by Viginia Wolfe, listen to an 18th century Raga from India, use a piece of designer silverware from Sweden -- I perceive the same level of accomplishment - attention to detail, sophistication in simplicity, inventiveness, and resolution of formal elements into a finished, cohesive whole which is greater than the sum of the parts. (this incidentally may be a good definition of art)
But "art" can also encompass things like "genius" or "divine intervention" or "protest" or "dadaism", things I suppose are very difficult to judge.
and a man will get swung on for saying that she aint cold.....
