Two art critics in the 1950-60's almost destroyed 'Art.' Rosenberg and Greenberg shaped artistic endeavors during this time with their 'criticisms' and letters. The result was Minimalism, Structuralism, Conceptualism, and later, Post-Modernism, episodes of semi-creativity that were (are) overrated. The reason we should have never moved so far away from Expressionism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism is this: we have not learned our lessons yet!.... Although the above critics were aided by the false French intellectual tradition of the time - Baudrillard, Foucault, and that monster of deception, Derrida- they still bear most of the responsibility. All around me i see evidence of degenerate efforts... our real knowledge of light, color, and the primitive unconsciousness has certainly faded.

It is very disappointing that art has been so depreciated in the public mind--it's as if we look back on great works of art and great artistic ideas as part of our past rather than what could continue to be created in our present and future.
