that was my point. people feel or are made to feel that they are stupid when they don´t get art kind of like the joke with the ending that everyone but the victim knows. the post i was referring to seemed to think they were going to get jumped on and torn to pieces.
i like warhol as the epitome of repetition, hence the factory. the repetition was the art. i certinaly understand the whole dark art thing but my mind has put it in the "goth" category, i.e. kids who dress the same and act the same to be "different." the whole "tortured soul" thing doesn´t wash with me and the doom scenario to me is just a bit of a cheap shot aimed at looking like some sort of visionary. again, nothing more than my own opinion.
i´m digging and icelander, sigurður guðmundsson and i just looked around for a few of his photos, especially from situations but i had no luck. brilliant book and i picked it up for little more than a song
