ART IS THEFT
Art is theft. The aesthetic experience of art is trophyism. Trophyism is the pleasure of surveying stolen goods. Art is sponsored by legal theft, gambling and the state lottery.
Art swims in blood. The blood is the blood of the culture whose artefacts have been torn from its heart, stolen from the traditions and values that alone gave them meaning.

Art museums are the
butcher's shop of culture. Critics dismember culture on its slab and
display its still-twitching artefacts in their galleries.
The western art critic is The Great Urinator. His mark is "art", and it showers all cultures. Noses are lifted, for the mark is assessment. Assessed goods, or trophies, are sold to the adulating who adorn their homes with micturated cultural counterfeits.
