...”Even now there is more art created then I can consume by many orders of magnitude, and it is embarrassing for the creators as well as for me”. …besides the typo, I don’t actually agree with this sentence. For me it would be like saying, “There are too many people I don’t know talking to each other”...I was never meant to know everyone, or to hear every conversation. Some art is global, much art is local. Your child’s drawing on the refrigerator is what I call “familial art” it’s value is mainly to the parents, to them it is precious, to everyone else it just looks like millions of other kid drawings, cute but not remarkable in any way. It’s a hyper-local art. Much art is cultural only understood by the people of that culture. Just as that special form of humor you and your best friend have, it’s only for the two of you. There can never be enough art to satisfy the human need for beauty, just as there can never be enough human conversations.
