@QLIMINAL Sorry! I've been away from my videos for a while! I'm taking Philsophy of Art now and we are reading Suzanne Langer and her book about symbolism, ritual and rite. It's funny because we were just talking about the difference between connotation and detonation. Could you help me out with Langer?

@QLIMINAL oh, yeah? what would you like to talk about?

Congrats on the A. Helps to alleviate the sickness unto death a.k.a. existentialism which were the main concerns of Jung and Sarte. Why wasn't raw canvas enough for Greenberg?

[cookiesonsteve]

@mcammer Very good question because if he believed that interpretation was beside the point, then who wouldn't interpret nothing?

@cookiesonsteve The greatest revolution in aesthetic  that we the intelligentsia can give to the world. You seem brilliant to me. lets work together just GOOGLE (all pages) QLIMINAL YOU WILL SEE MY CREDENTIALS. This is a major brake through in Aesthetic Axiology LETS GO FOR THE TOP!

I guess because raw canvas wasn't a painting. I've found that Greenberg possesses many flaws and contradictions that just don't make any sense. It's almost like he, like many other critics, has to come up with some argument just to have one because that was his purpose in life. My term paper for 20th C was on Norman Rockwell, of all artists LOL. I found that Rockwell was a realist/idealist painter at the same time. Greenberg loved his work. This was after Greenberg had discredited himself.
