Duchamp fucked us all good. He pretty much made everyone think that anything can be art. It's funny because he actually did it to laugh at what art had become. But after that anything could be art. If you didn't get it you just weren't intelligent enough to appreciate art. What started off as something to mock the snobbery of the art world had become something that encouraged it even more. Anything can be anything, the artist doesn't have to do anything about it, he just has to shit something out and people will call it art. I liked Poe's views on art. He wasn't for allegorical stories, he thought art should be art, but that it still needed to be well made and detailed. Art shouldn't be a vehicle for your ideologies. It isn't art anymore, it's just more propaganda.
