"Marx ... Freud ... Strickland" -- Postmodern commentary on cultural evolution, perhaps?

@peacemaker121123 - Thank you for your very interesting message. I appreciate well-reflected commentaries. But, I have to say that regarding your comment, the reason why there are no uncontrollable numbers of original works today is that the cultures have fallen from higher levels of education to a current total suppression of consciousness. It seems that the public schools are only teaching people how to stay enslaved to television and mass-doping.

@Allpacallpa Well, if you look at art in the sense of mass media as a whole, not just fine arts, then you can say that selling art for a living has always be around. In most cases, creativity is second to business. If that were not true, then we would see a very uncontrollable number of original works today.

@Allpacallpa Art is not meaningless my friend not as long as it speaks to a viewer and helps them in some way it can not be meaningless... go for a walk in nature or go and spend time with people in different lands... get out of ur head for a while... I don't mean this as an insult, I really mean it.

@Allpacallpa ... I do just fine, mind you I try never to stray from my on line of exp and knowing... I think when a person does this they can not fail because even in failure they are true to them selfs and ther collectors... building a theory upon a theory has brought many a humanbeing unstuck!
A grate collector is the person the artwork speaks to aferming they are not alone in this world ... ther will always be speculators in thought and investment but nothing beats a collector who gets it!

Do you feel art has a function in post modernity, if so is it effective?

Thanks for your question. I think art does sometimes serve a vanguardist function in postmodernity, but I think this is a residual effect of late modern conditions extending into postmodernity; art can still function as vanguardist critique because modern conditions persist in postmodernity. But I think the dominant tendencies of postmodernity are toward neutralizing the political power of art.
