Let’s have
our culture back!
We live in a
world where decadence in art and all other forms of culture continues
to plumb new depths. On a recent visit to Liverpool,
the writer had time to have a look into the Tate Modern art gallery.
Such a pile of junk I have never witness! What was being passed off as
the highest form of art - modernism, abstractionism and all the newer
forms of shapeless sculpture and painting was to my poor untrained eye
- UGLY! I have always been led to believe that art should be beautiful.
Simple as that. That art, music, poetry and great writing should lift
and ennoble the human spirit not revolt the eye. When we look at a
painting we should not have to try and figure out the twisted agonies
that supposedly lay behind the left wing progressive artists’ idea.
That his or her problem and why should it be hung in a public gallery
and even worse, sold often for a vast some of cash? Our galleries can
have thought provoking and even controversial pictures in them - but
there is no reason on earth why they should be ugly.
The saying
"beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is usually trotted out in
defence of trash being disguised as ‘culture’ - to that we would answer
‘truth is beauty and beauty is truth’. The truth is modern art in most
of its forms is revolting!A National Front Government would cleanse our art galleries of out and out rubbish. Damien Hirst? No thanks!
