“Art schools are partly the villain here. (Never mind that I teach in them.) This generation of artists is the first to have been so widely credentialed, and its young members so fetishize the work beloved by their teachers that their work ceases to talk about anything else.

This yearning may be earnest, but it stunts their work, and by turn the broader culture.”
