The value we place on many things is subjective. I dont have any problem with that.
What I do have a problem with is the Elitist Group creating a system of fraud. It took DaVinci three years to paint The Last Supper, and took some asshat about 3 seconds to paint "Untitled". Now, if I wanted to rip people off, I'd print money. That is theft thru fraud because the counterfeit currency steals its value from the existing money supply.
The example of artwork mentioned called "Untitled" equates to me as nothing but counterfeit art because it steals its value from the existing real art.
What is happening is this fraud and counterfeit art exploits the average persons emotional response to art by assigning it a monetary value, which is then used to avoid paying taxes. It really isnt that different than the way that money works. We operate on a Fiat Currency, which in its very design is counterfeit because it steals its value from the existing supply of currency, and the value is only determined by the emotional context in the belief that the quantity of currency has and its association with real world value.
Both Modern and Classical Art do have an emotional context and emotional value to them, and that is the way that they should be kept. There are also many things that I believe to be beautiful in life that are not created by humans, and those things give me a strong emotional context, as I am sure they do to others. Keeping those beautiful things in an emotional context only I think allows us to keep a perspective on what is true beauty and worthy of strong emotional context, and that for the most part is the way they should be kept.
So here's a couple of points of the
Communist Manifesto found
here:
Although I will look at that with a grain of salt and question is actuality, the intent as described does seem to be a means of psychological warfare where a populous is taught to reject its own culture and heritage, which is exactly what would happen if the people thought that Modern Art were truly representative of the culture of a freedom loving civilization.
