water-colour could fall under that definition and be anything but.

Arguement does not make the world a more interesting place. The fact of life
and of direction does make it interesting. Is it a feel good water color warm
and fuzzy for the moment or is it disturbing tot he psyche lost in hopelessness
of death or possibly step into the realm of the possibilities?

I wouldn't.
Can I just call your girlfriend ugly, insult your politics and
ridicule your religion instead ?
"Schlocky" is definable, but the level at which it actually becomes
schlock is indefinable and subjective. Schlock is anything your
mother likes, that you don't. It's not actively ugly, it's just that
bit too sentimental and too devoid of other merit for you to want to
be near it.
It's hard to criticise schlock. Where there's something you can point
a finger at, then it moves from schlock to being altogether more
nasty. It's hard to hate schlock; it's not something you like, but
it's too feeble
Much schlock is schlock by simple unoriginality. The first metallic
paint on black velvet was a daring experiment in mixed media, now it's
Elvis with a halo. Originality justifies a lot of art with no other
quality to it, but copying this loses the only virtue it had to begin
with. Warhol isn't schlock. Anyone doing Warhol pastiche afterwards
is.

High hopes were once formed of democracy; but democracy means simply the
bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people. It has been
found out. I must say that it was high time, for all authority is quite
degrading. It degrades those who exercise it, and degrades those over
whom it is exercised.

The modern version requires no skill whatsoever, while the classical
required what amounts to a modern academic education.
The modern versions can be seen all over the net and by our modern
super star nobodies here like Fox, Rbrac53660, O'connor, etc. The
museum versions of economically successful modern schlock is best
represented by the Three Stooges of Modern Academic Art, de Kooning,
Rothko and Pollock and their multitude of imitators.
The classical versions of academic super schlock were produced by the
saints of Modern Academic Art, Cezanne, Matisse and Picasso and a
century of imitators.
There is no better representative of schlock than Picasso who is said
to have produced 30,000 knockouts.
...no skill no art
Modern Academic Art is incompetence in search of an idea.

Subject matter is subject matter, what counts is how well its done.
HORRIBLE DAY FOR CIVIL LIBERTIES
Anyone who looks in detail at what happened today should be horrified.
It looks like a Committee of Public Safety is beginning to form. Who
will be the next Robespierre?
It looks somewhat like we might have a reincarnation of Nixon and
gang; only this time they will be smarter having learned from his
mistakes. Our president select has easily gotten what our fascist
types have struggled to achieve for generations.
We have the oil and auto companies, Nader, and the Supreme Court to
thank for this step in the direction of a police state. Everybody wrap
your selves in the flag and recite the pledge of allegiance.
