"...almost none has anything to do with art as traditionally understood: mastery of a craft in order to make objects that gratify and ennoble those who see them."
That statement made my day.
I know. Me too.
I am not just trying to be politically correct when I say I am on the fence here. I see value in some of these artists' work and what they contribute to the dialogue.
I apologize for not citing properly, but a few days ago, I copied a phrase into my sketchbook that appeared in the comments of another blog as a definition of an ideal work of art:
"Brilliant idiosyncrasy of craft, paired with depth and transcendence of concept"
