I’m not trying to stir up any arguments here, but I believe every person that considers themselves well-cultured should be able to appreciate art for both technique and idea alike. Saying baroque is “kitschy" is as childish as the “I could do that” attitude, and not seeing the importance of either skill or (transgressive) intention is, to me, a sure sign of closed-mindedness.

You walk into an art exhibition and there's this painting there. You think to yourself "well, I could do this". And yes, you really could do that. But you didn't it. And even if you did, since you lack the proper connections, it'd never end up in an exhibit.
That's the essence of modern poetry.

is there any good multilingual poetry that mixes a mainly accentual language with a mainly syllabic language? like mixes of english or german with ancient greek, latin, or japanese?

before i saw one in person, i thought klein's blue paintings were trolling. in real life, the blue has depth, it practically sparkles. i wish i could fall into the color. i'd love to have a room painted klein blue.

Do you agree?

> For his exhibition at the Iris Clert Gallery (April 1958), Klein chose to show nothing whatsoever: he removed everything in the gallery space except a large cabinet, painted every surface white, and then staged an elaborate entrance procedure for the opening night; The gallery's window was painted blue, and a blue curtain was hung in the entrance lobby, accompanied by republican guards and blue cocktails. Thanks to an enormous publicity drive, 3000 people were forced to queue up, waiting to be let in to an empty room.[10]
