Book: what good are the arts?
is isbn: 0571226027, and tries to answer the above question. Its a refuge from a lecture/then multi-parrt radio series where the author scores points by trying to do much quoting as possible in order to ‘look’ cultured.
Both science and art have there hitler advocates and both would no doubt love to final solution say persons like me who think poetry is mentally retarded tripe.
Science it seems to prove that children aged 8 would pass an art exam with ease rather than becoming unartistic say age 16 being ‘inhibited’
Europe might seem cultured but europe’s success is based primarily on uncultured things that are unartistic cars, pop music etc.
I don’t like paintings and according to both science and the rich collectors they instill class, in the second world war the paintings got moved to safety and the humans in London took there chance with probability that the bomb would not hit them today lottery.
We monkeys in the wild are like paintings – the world decided to ignore the Rwandan human genocide, but when it moved to where the monkeys in the rain forest then things happened.
The book is about 80 pages too long and while the arts my enlighten they empower only certain ideas and serve as a cause to make famous a few. Should you not like poets then im happy to be called a philistine.
Then again when the Turner prize judge in 2006 cannot decide if there are awarding an art prize to a tv show concept is joke then perhaps they too are philistines.
