What are some good books that shit on modern art/culture?

How do I rid myself of all sexual desires? I have now started realizing that sexual intercourse and the desire to have it is a distraction. The problem is, we are all still humans, and we have these urges which are left over from our more primitive times on the planet.
I want to be rid of these urges, in other words, I want to be chaste. What are the steps some great thinkers have undertaken to perform this? Thanks in advance.

I drug and kidnap you while you’re walking down the street. When you come to you can only see through the holes i cut out of the pillowcase placed over your head. You scream out because your groin is in excruciating pain for some reason. I stick a needle in you arm and put this painting before you. You have 6 minutes to associate a book with it or you and everyone you know will die. Which book and why?

Convergence, 1952 by Jackson Pollock

modern art is older than the CIA
and there is literally nothing wrong with Jackson Pollock
idk what other artists the CIA funded

the biggest issue with CONTEMPORARY art is the lack of money, talented people all go into advertising or the media since that's where the dosh is.
they make dreary corporate graphic design work instead of great works of art.
artists who don't are either too shit or too idealistic.

art schools pump out loads of these morons with no talent but LOTS of ideology who make utterly boring "shock art" that stopped shocking anyone under 60 decades ago.
