>art anti-aesthetic?

Can you explain this?

Art is defined by its creativity. You can define art only in so far as you create a matrix in which to work, but the actual creation of the art should only be rigid in being as anti-conformist as possible. This is what I mean by constantly being in flux. The artist who already knows how his art will look at the outset is not an artist; he is a craftsman.

If you actually properly read my post, you would know I am against the popular fiction that arose out of Gothic Romanticism. Aside from that, I don't "like" anything, but pornography & that is something that should be kept separate from art; I APPRECIATE art. I don't think opinions should be accepted; I think art is something entirely elitist. I am saying that art should have a basis in philosophy. I also said art should not be propagandist. Rhythm & rhyme are largely restrictive, though. If you actually think otherwise, you have a very archaic way of approaching verse which restricts you from commenting on anything new. Again, I do not "like" anything; I appreciate it.

I have absolutely no idea why you posted this; nor do you, it would seem. & I am aware it is a meme.

What art is = what most educated, enlightened people consider art

What art is not = what some autistic tranny on /lit/ thinks is art

Why did we have Romanticism for a century, then?

Bad art can infect educated people, just as it infects uneducated people.

You're a Post-Modernist. I don't think you are in any position to say that to anyone.
