Andy Rooney and Art
May 27, 2011There was a time when academic art meant the same boring poses and doing historical and mythological themes. Then art evolved with the invention of photography and we had whole movements like Impressionism which broke out of the old mold. But eventually it got to the point where it was believed that anything is art. This idea really took hold in the sixties and seventies and now those same people are teaching art in a lot of the universities. The craft was left behind. I believe there are many expressions of art but it takes years of study to really get good. To me it is no different than learning to play the guitar. You can play a song in a short amount of time, but only a few reach the level of Jimi Hendrix. Unfortunately I am in the minority in a lot of circles. But I think in this clip Andy Rooney really sees through it all. Bravo!
