Don’t forget that we live in the Age of Decline of Western civilization! Birthrates are falling, and governments and globalist corporations seek to control our lives and minds increasingly using sophisticated technology to achieve their malicious designs. The West is being decimated by socialist cancer from the inside and invaded by hordes of barbarians from underdeveloped countries with the invitation of the ruling elites. Ironically, the repetition of the fall of the Roman Empire, whose system we tried to imitate, is upon us! With this background in mind, we turn our attention to how our degenerate society is being reflected by modern art, which in turn seeks to make our society even more degenerate and sever our ties with the glorious past of Western civilization, erasing our collective memory of it!
Have you been to the Broad or MOCA museums lately? Or the LA art show that usually takes place at the Convention Center in downtown? Some Laguna Beach galleries? Are you aware of what’s on display there and in hundreds of museums all over the world that cover modern “art”? All those abstract lines, dots, dirty and suspicious stains on enormous canvases sparingly situated inside huge empty rooms with minimalist, deliberately incomprehensible, and deliberately messy artwork. Incredible waste of space and lavish tax deductions for various “foundations” sponsoring artistic scams. How dare you judge these artworks so unceremoniously? The art world is a well-established multi-billion dollar industry – and no one, especially someone without art education, is allowed to judge it; maybe some art critics, but not we, the people.
Nazis and communists of the 20th century invented this term “degenerate art” and attacked its creators so violently that the “degenerate art” industry began to flourish exactly in response to persecution by totalitarian regimes as a symbol of defiance and victory for the liberal world against the authoritarian world.
Kandinsky and Malevich, Picasso and Pollock, and many other artists that today are considered undeniable geniuses and historic figures paved the way for today’s multitude of artists that are competing with each other in a sick contest of who can provide a greater distortion of reality, dreams, and imagination beyond recognition. Shouldn’t it all be in the eye of the beholder, let the audience judge, free speech type of argument – laissez-faire approach? Maybe it should, but it is NOT. We all know that this is not the way the cookie crumbles in the art industry. SOMEONE SOMEWHERE decides what is trendy and what is not, what will sell and what will not sell, what art should be displayed and praised, and what art should be suppressed.
When we go see 19th-century art, or pre-19th-century art, we immediately recognize on the canvas what object we are looking at – so we can connect with it emotionally. When we see modern art that refuses to reflect reality, delegating it to photography (which in turn is also moving away from reality) and instead offers absolutely incomprehensible “concepts” instead of specific images, how can we connect emotionally with what we see on that canvas? What kind of emotions, if any, can such paintings invoke? Why aren’t we, the laypeople audience, for whom supposedly this art was created, allowed to judge it, sometimes harshly, sometimes humanely?
If you see those messy colorful strokes of a paintbrush on a huge canvas that can only express meaningless chaos, how can you feel inspired by it? Or at least aesthetically pleased? What about all these paintings that are made up of pieces of some junk items? Paintings symbolizing industrial wasteland themes, distorted bodies, and distorted landscapes – all designed to make you feel confused, disoriented, depressed, and hopeless.
MENTAL STATE OF DEGENERATE ARTISTS
Examine the mental state of those artists and you start seeing the source of the psychologically corrupt artistic mess that dominates our museums and galleries. Find me any of those more or less prominent artists who weren’t using drugs, especially hallucinogenic ones, who didn’t experience some sort of tragic circumstances, messy personal lives, or weren’t emotionally damaged or even deranged! You won’t find any normal people among them! Well, most normal people may not even have the talent to be artists to begin with and are boring and inconspicuous; however, why should being an artist have a prerequisite of being a drug addict, loser, or troublemaker in your personal life or being mentally deranged? Why is it one or the other but not something in between where an artist would have a healthy lifestyle, a happy personal life, and still be creative and create art that inspires people to be better versions of themselves, art that makes us appreciate reality instead of trying to escape it, art that at a minimum we can instantly understand when we are seeing it?
ART ESTABLISHMENT THAT SCAMS THE AUDIENCES AND SUPPRESSES NEW ARTISTIC TRENDS
Just like with any other field, the art world has its own establishment that stifles all new movements to remain in power. At the moment, the abstract art establishment is so firmly entrenched that any breakthroughs are unlikely. However, the general public is gradually waking up and realizing that under the smokescreen of “avant-garde” “trendy” art, they are being scammed. We come to modern art museums thinking we are going to see something special, something inspiring, perhaps entertaining and amusing, something that will help us grow spiritually and take our emotions to a whole new level, and then we go there and get disappointed by so-called “art” that doesn’t even require much skill to “produce,” “art” that needs a lot of explaining to be understood, “art” that represents nothing more than the sick and chaotic mind of a drug addict artist we can’t relate to and don’t want to relate to. If someone can’t paint or create while sober and needs to be under the influence of hallucinogenic mushrooms to artificially squeeze creativity out of an otherwise dull brain, then what kind of artist is it? Where is their real talent if they can’t be creative without being drugged or drunk or in distress? Why do they punish people for taking doping in sports, but artists get away with all kinds of artificial stimulants to make art?
Those galleries that represent abstract degenerate art without being sponsored by big business are not doing so well – they are not popular for a good reason. This ugly perverse art can’t survive on its own because the general public resents it, refuses to buy it, and ignores it! However, there are still many poisonous art galleries and exhibitions that continue to trash government-run or corporate-supported museums.
ART DEALER SCAMMERS
Aside from the general public, art collectors and those investing in art are being scammed too. SOMEONE SOMEWHERE sets art trends without any transparency or objective judgment and promotes certain types of art or certain artists very vigorously while leaving others locked out of the art scene. Investors and art collectors are paying hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars for some meaningless abstract degenerate art piece by some deranged drug addict psycho because that is the “value” that the ART ESTABLISHMENT decided to artificially assign to the painting and to the artist in question. Never mind the QUALITY of the work, its content, its impact on our emotions, its aesthetic appeal, etc. There are no stringent, rigorous, and thoughtful standards that would require that art be easily understood by art consumers, that would require certain skills to make it, certain aesthetic appeal and quality – seemingly “anything goes.” However, that is not true either – while today’s art doesn’t require any serious skill to make it, the art establishment does require that art must often have certain ideological content to be promoted!
IDEOLOGICAL BRAINWASHING CONTENT
Content-wise we see this hysterical, tearful, and grotesque glorification of radical extremist socialist ideas reflected in art that focuses on depicting the “plight” of various “disadvantaged” or degenerate groups (like the homeless thugs) in society that today compete for the privileged status of a “professional victim” eligible for all kinds of government handouts at our expense. Most of the art – no matter where you go in LA – Motion Picture Museum, the Broad, LACMA, MOCA, Getty, etc. is focused on promoting left-wing propaganda at the expense of beauty, good taste, and aesthetic excellence. It goes even deeper than that – the ART ESTABLISHMENT seeks to ERASE OUR MEMORY of OUR CIVILIZATION’S EUROPEAN ROOTS! They are going out of their way to replace any art that is clearly European in nature with Asian, Middle Eastern, South of the border, or any other art that would distract us from remembering European traditions! However, the real purpose of the art establishment is far more sinister: they want to erase all races and cultures and make our art FACELESS, devoid of any reminder of our cultural differences. That is where all these straight lines, circles, curves, messy collections of abstract shapes are coming from – they want to muddy the waters of our subconscious, they want us to forget who we are. If one goes to a doctor’s or attorney’s office, people are often stressed out because they have legal or health problems, and what kind of art do you see in those offices more often than not? ABSTRACT background art to take the patients’ and clients’ minds off their problems and make their minds go blank at least to enable them to hear what the lawyer or the doctor has to say, good or bad. However, this mental meditation is meant to be only temporary when it comes to providing professional services. The Art Establishment, however, seeks to empty our subconscious permanently! They want to SEVER our ties with our PAST! Judging by its deliberate use of art for the purposes of its corrosive progressive ideology, the Art Establishment is not acting alone. Even though so far, there might not be direct proof of this, but based on the content of art that is being promoted in all museums, it’s easy to guess that the art establishment must be cooperating with the government bureaucracy. Only the government seeks to expand its own role to erase our ability to think independently and to feel independently whatever we want to feel, regardless of what they are telling us we should feel. Blue governments’ power is based on taking advantage of our false sense of empathy for criminals whose remote ancestors might have been slaves in the South, or false sense of empathy for homeless drug addict thugs. Consequently, this government wants to promote art that depicts the suffering of inner-city black people or the suffering of the homeless! A Blue government doesn’t want an artistic depiction of a Black Lives Matter mob smashing and grabbing luxury stores in the Broad museum! A Blue government doesn’t want hunting or shooting range paintings; nor does it want a depiction of disgusting homeless thugs attacking vulnerable old ladies walking in the street! That is why they are trying to empty our minds with all those straight lines, abstract shapes, ugly cement and glass architecture that is soulless and faceless, and most importantly, completely severed from any traditional art of the past!
SUMMARY
This is not to say that all art should go back to 19th-century “photographic” realism, and that all progress should stop, and creativity should be stifiled by some sort of censorship. Quite the contrary – there should be free, unrestrained, and transparent competition between various art trends where we, the patrons, can decide what is art, and what is trash; where we, the public, can reward artists who paint specific, recognizable images that make us feel something, that make us more emotionally intelligent, and penalize those who are insulting us by making their art deliberately incomprehensible and confusing. If all government and corporate sponsors go away, and we, the public, remain the only judges and patrons of the art, we will quickly sort things out and settle all the right scores with the scam artists of the art world! Likewise, we, the public, will not let the government or corporations use art to brainwash us – it’s all going to be focused on what we want to feel and how we want to feel it, and not on someone else’s agenda. Everyone will be buying art they like and can afford, not what the art establishment wants us to buy. Everyone will be able to enjoy paintings and other art objects that have true value, not the value assigned by art establishment scammers or government propaganda. Without corporate or government financial assistance, our modern art museums will probably lose 70% of the degenerate abstract garbage, and it will be replaced by stuff that is truly in demand, including the depiction of social issues in a way that might offend the progressives but will please normal people who miss normal art! Maybe when art really starts reflecting our true interests and tastes, our society will get a chance to heal! With the demise of the degenerate art and drug addict degenerates on corporate payroll who are producing it, a new generation of artists will have to be responsive to our aesthetic needs to survive and will also be in a position to help the spiritual growth of normal people instead of catering to or glorifying the worst members of society. This trend may help Western civilization turn its decay into the age of healing and true progress.
