academic artists.
Here they will get about two weeks worth of information for every six
months of time spent there. And of course they will expect a tuition
fee in order to be taught the following mantra of quaint aphorisms as
a substitute for what the teachers don't know. (in much more
long-winded form of course. They have all that time to kill.)
- modernism is something new.
-the term realism when used as a negative description is to be
understood as merely a photographic rendition of reality.
- representation in painting needs to be abandoned.
- people who cannot draw have greater freedom in expressing themselves
than people who can.
- art since Impressionism makes better use of color than it did
before.
·-permanent rebellion against the past is a moral artistic requirement
-neurotic or antisocial people are necessarily better artists.
- modern Academic Art operates outside of the commercial economic
sphere
-Art history is divided into antiquated realism and modern
abstraction.
-There is fine art, which conforms to precepts demanded of our Modern
Museums and the majority of teaching institutions and then there is
all that 'other stuff'. That is, painting not holy-critic approved
like illustration, animation and anything to do with commercial art,
etc.
At the conclusion of their studies students will receive a certificate
attesting to their intellectual and artistic superiority. This should
serve as much an asset to getting work and public acceptance, as it
has for all those other certified failures out there.
...no skill no art!
