Art in many societies didn't exist as a separate entity or idea, because it was embedded in cultural practices. So art is a capitalist commodity to keep the class system and reinforce inequality. Art is the enemy of everyday people only because it has been wielded by the elite as a symbolic status, and gives unequal access to privileged kids to make and exhibit art. It is used as "art education" to patronize and give "high culture" to lower classes, a hollow charity project. This is dead art. "Not evil art" is living art, used in discussion in all stages of education and life, as a tool to help people make their own realities and self determine. Art that is LIVED, as culture is lived, is the only non exploitative art. When culture is finally divorced from capitalist commodification, art will rightfully die.

Get the Art mug.Art is an amazing, loveable person, he just doesn't know it. He might accidentally hurt you by joking, but he is a thoughtful, caring person who is always by your side when you need him. He's the type of person who it's easy to be around and will always make you laugh. He has a charming, glowing, gorgeous smile that makes your day and amazing, swoon-worthy hair. His cheeks are always kissable and his lips are addictive. Art will always give the best hugs and have the best arms to hold when you are sad. Art is perfect. The kind of person who you dream about. The kind of person you want to be with forever.
