art is overrated.
marcel duchamp submitted this photograph of an upside down urinal to an art exhibit in 1917 creating quite an uproar of many claiming it was not art, duchamp replied that "it is art because I say it is art."
our very own porn photographer J.Stephen Hicks, in his book explaining post-modernism comments on that-
"The artist is a not great creator—Duchamp went shopping at a plumbing store. The artwork is not a special object—it was mass-produced in a factory. The experience of art is not exciting and ennobling—at best it is puzzling and mostly leaves one with a sense of distaste. But over and above that, Duchamp did not select just any ready-made object to display. In selecting the urinal, his message was clear:
Art is something you piss on."
