Marcia Wood Mertinooke’s Reviews > Has Modernism Failed? > Status Update

Seems to be blaming artists and art world breaking away from tradition and traditional customs for how art has become almost pure commodity with little meaning.

So far highly romanticizing artistic past and presenting it as having no relation to consumption or status which is untrue. Romanticizing the outcast artist as a moral superior to the professional artist when it is likely a balance is most beneficial. That too much freedom to express anything at all leads to a moral bankruptcy and ultimate meaninglessness in art.
