A Lesson From the Art World

Posted by Dave Blount at December 20, 2005 4:49 PM

For centuries, Western Civilization took justifiable pride in its great works of art. Unfortunately, the realm of art has been overwhelmed by a mentality that combines pompousness, vanity, phoniness, and infantilism in such a way that it can only be called moonbattery. A crucial aspect of our culture has been left in the hands of the sort of people who write for the editorial page of the New York Times.

The results have been predictable. In place of Rembrandt's stirring masterpieces, we get Jackson Pollock drunkenly smearing paint all over the place.

If you've ever stared at some famous piece of modern art, attempting to find some hint of redeeming value, before finally giving up and muttering to yourself, "But a monkey could do this," you just might have been right. From The Australian:

The director of the State Art Museum of Moritzburg in Saxony-Anhalt, Katja Schneider, suggested the painting was by the Guggenheim Prize-winning artist Ernst Wilhelm Nay.

"It looks like an Ernst Wilhelm Nay. He was famous for using such blotches of colour," Dr Schneider confidently asserted.

The canvas was actually the work of Banghi, a 31-year-old female chimp at the local zoo.

If moonbats could reduce art to this state of affairs, imagine what they would do in the realm of politics. They might take America and turn it into France — or worse. We need to be very sure they don't get the chance.
