Art has a right to exist and people have the right to say that some piece of art was disgusting or kitsch or just poor taste if they feel like it. The artist then has the right to ignore them, being content to cater to his own specific consumers.Nah. No joke despite my loling
Controversial art is necessary! Offensive and grotesque and disgusting art is necessary. Not saying we can't call it that, but it has a right to exist like any art. Idk! just my thinking
Where I tend to draw the line is "art" that has so little popular appeal that it would never survive in the free market, but it is artificially kept afloat only through government subsidies, or grants from a specific church or political party.
At that point it ceases to be art and becomes a propaganda venture.
Just my 0.02 $.
