Anytime the concept of Art comes up in the public space one sees the wildest interpretations, the most absurd arguments, and the most depressing and untrue conclusions.
But could it be any different? Art concerns itself with meanings and concepts beyond the physical, the metaphysical. Art transcends matter.
Informed by Atheism and materialism, modernity rejects metaphysics and understands the purpose of matter (man included) in its utility, how useful something is. Money is useful. Is money art? Gautier once famously wrote the most useful part of a house is its toilet.
Is it a surprise then that modern art finds itself in close proximity to the toilet and its business?
Art cannot be separated from the image of man and the God who made him in His image. This is why the fight for beauty in entertainment is a proxy for humanization vs. the satanic atheist forces of dehumanization.
