Art schools deserve to be bashed on. They deserve to be bashed until the plurality of them shutter their doors for good leaving only those that are willing and able to function as something more than a playpen, and even those should be scrutinized closely for their entrance requirements. These schools are, with few exceptions, little short of criminal institutions that have enriched their faculty to the point of absurdity at the expense of their ignorant and the naïve students whom in saner times were kept well away. Even those schools that stress artistic fundamentals and commercial viability leave in their wake 90 financially and spiritually broken young adults for every 10 whose post-graduate success they disingenuously take credit for.

Save it for your blog, bro. Your words don't mean anything until you do. Go on your blog, make a post about how art school, contrary to the experience of hundreds of thousands of others, as well as some professionals that I've spoken to personally, made your 'storied career' what it is today.

I'll be damned if I'm going to let an anonymous poster on 4chan dismiss everything I've posted using an appeal to authority fallacy deferring to himself as the authority.

A lot of people succeed with school, a lot of people succeed without it, and far more fail than succeed no matter what they do. This is something that absolutely needs to be considered by anyone who desires to work as an artist.

I hope by 'fine art' you don't mean that you're going to a conceptual art school or something

What "delusions"? That art schools, particularly those focusing on "non-representative art" are by-and-large a complete scam that has ruined the lives of tens of thousands of people? This is a verifiable fact supported both by independent research done by organizations across the political spectrum and tons of anecdotal evidence. If anyone's delusional here, it's you.

If you take out the "unlike me" portion of the post (which was hyperbole on my part btw) the point stands. The inference is always that abstract artists and their followers have some sort of mental upper hand on those that don't see the value in it. Implying that they are "uneducated" and that therefor their tastes are less than those of this supposed "elite class" and their continued fascination with Duchamp derivative entropic statuary and "installations" and Pollock derivative paintings .

>You're literally saying that because you don't understand/appreciate something it is impossible to understand or appreciate it

That is not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying that I don't agree with it, and I think it's shit ninety-nine-times out of a hundred (and is often deliberately so) and that the people that appreciate it most are pedantic image-obsessed ego-tripping phonies more often than not and we all know it. I've never shied away from conceding that some choice pieces of abstract art can have a raw aesthetic appeal that a lot of, if not all "realism" lacks (note I'm talking about paintings exclusively here, "installations" are almost always just ridiculously, heinously bad with few exceptions), however, it's impossible for me to look at any pure abstract piece like a Hundertwasser or Guston and not consider how the "anything goes" environment the acceptance and reverence of this kind of work created across the board has literally ruined everything, including the lives of thousands upon thousands of young artists who leave their high-priced art schools without even the credentials to work the counter at a fast food restaurant.

Regardless of the validity of abstract or not, for the good of the public art schools should have remained very exclusive places, but they're not because these for-profit schools need a constant influx of hopeless, unskilled and soon to be financially ruined kids they can serve as incredibly expensive baby-sitters to.

Renounce your artistic degeneracy at once. We can't all have a busty black sugar momma to wax our Big White Cocks and let us make 1/3rd of the minimum wage selling mongoloid art to drunk rich retards while she covers everything else. You're ruining people's lives by propagating this base crap and worst of all on some level you beez knowin' it, nigga!
