Art Is Mostly Dead

Well, it is. Come on! Anybody can see that. Name one Artist. Working today. Who has anything like the prestige and influence on western culture that Picasso, Matisse or even Klee or Mondrian - even Dali! Pollock! Lichtenstein! Warhol! - had at their height!

See, that last part makes it unfair, doesn't it! But why should it? Why can't we field even one guy, one girl who can compete with the past on even footing?

I'll tell you why.

It is because Art Is Mostly Dead.
