 The the degeneration of beauty comes from one thing actually and What has been pushed down our throats since the baby boomers took charge? Political correctness Political correctness is not just a tool to shut right-wingers up Political correctness is ultimately the propounder of relativism and relativism is Is not having the conscientiousness to distinguish the pita the pita from the levitated mass To give some further context the levitated mass is regarded as our generation's pita 10 million of taxpayer dollars to be acquired by LACMA Relativism central claim is that objective standards and expectations belong in the trash And I'm telling you guys right now and we're gonna break this down. There are institutional roots as to why this is So if you look at the 1800s all our education was like atelier based art training It was like any other trade school, right? You want to be a mechanic? You know you want to Learn plumbing. What do you do? You go to somebody who knows the skill and you your apprentice under them But the advent of art universities are a completely different creature and it's nested in the Frankfurt school So 1983 John W. Murphy of the Frankfurt school publishes art and the social world through the studies in Sylvia thought a study into Marxist aesthetics and its intellectual heritage Art in the social world is what all the art critics and theorists that are in the universities today used as a foundation It's all nested on this is built upon this foundation According to Murphy the role of art should transcend Representing conditions of beauty and truth towards a practice of what is deemed as socially beneficial Art should serve as a political arm rather than a religious one You fast forward to the top five art universities today They're all being taught by radical post-modern ideologues on the left the first person to catch wind of this was American cultural critic Tom Wolf So this story is pretty interesting because mr. Wolf was a lover of our art history in New York City when the art world was Going to his renaissance He walked into this gallery in Soho and saw all these blank canvases Usually an artist produces a series Takes maybe two to three years the curators and critics come to the studio We determine what works fits most cohesively based on the theme we work out a statement. It's this that's usually the go-to template But he saw all these canvases so he got excited. He walked and he goes to this front desk girl wearing her all black Ponytail pretty enough where you want to talk to her, but she definitely studied a liberal arts degree So she has a little snarl in you that little that dissonance was there that typical image He walks in and says look at this artist here, but all this work up. He's already getting ready for the series He's planning it this ahead of time. Who is this artist? Who who's a what is he producing and she looks at him says no, this is your art show? This is the art show these are White canvases with white paint on top of it. It's very bold and daring and He's confused, you know because art is supposed to have cultural value She looks at him. Oh, you haven't read Greenberg. You haven't read Clement Greenberg This is your problem. He goes. Oh, okay So he gets a book by Greenberg. He goes up to his loft He finishes his book. He comes back down and totally trolls her. Oh, it's the purity of the painting materiality that makes it transcendent It's pure art. The purity of it is what makes it It's why you're able to charge it at this rate and In his bewilderment she believes him she goes now you get it now you understand the art world This is what you know, we're we're doing a new fold here, right? So Wolf's primary claim here in the painting world was that the American art movements from 1945 to 1975 was a religion of the educated classes if you want to understand one of the great weapons of the radical left Look at the art gallery. They're doing a lot of underground stuff there. And this is where a lot of them meet Absurge expressionism pop art and minimalism were just different denominations of the modern gallery attempting to replace the church The heretics in today's far now world are those who expose that the emperor has no clothes on in other words that Don't excuse me. Those who see the culture bird for what it is Mere Philism backed by second-generation liberal guilt of the upper class This is an important thing like today those who supported Wolf's claims were insulted as fascist Bigots and racist by the students of Rosenberg, Steinberg and Greenberg Sounds pretty familiar, right? Well, I agree with mr. Wolf and his fantastical literary style of writing I don't think he went deep enough though, and I don't blame him because no one could have predicted how You know the decadence would proliferate with social media and technology The logical conclusion of this never-ending Avangar reframing of high art is elitism. Yes So by nature those who will consolidate in this industry are those in the anti-American elite agreed But who did the culture Berg associate themselves with? Who are the intellectuals? Who are the academics who supported these art gallery gatekeepers? Radical Marxists who spoke of feminist Miss Andrew against the patriarchy
