In Reply to: The line between Art and pretensions nonsense is a fine one -nt posted by Feanor on December 8, 2021 at 06:04:37:
Halls and galleries designed to showcase traditional forms of "art" have remained basically the same, while definitions of art have changed dramatically. Art that would never have seemed deserving of showcase status now has that status. Much of what seems to be "pretentious nonsense" in art today might be the result of modern artists trying to use the status symbols of past times to promote their artistic products, today.It all seemed like a "shoe-in" to some, and one bound to increase the public exposure, fame, and profits that modern artists hoped to enjoy. But I might say, "If feelings change, find (or return to) the appropriate venue.".
The sensation of absurdity that some of us experience when we walk into a "grand" or classically-styled art gallery or concert hall and see or hear the kinds of art forms that might have once been confined to (or "showcased" in) battlefields, fireside gatherings, kitchens, or barns might not be a groundless one.
The past remains in our memories. It resonates, still.
