“Far from affording artists continuous inspiration, mass-media sources for art have become a dead end. They have combined with the abstractness of institutional art teaching to produce a fine-arts culture given over to information and not experience. This faithfully echoes the drain of concreteness from modern existence- the reign of mere unassimilated data instead of events that gain meaning by being absorbed into the fabric of imaginative life.” ArtEndsInspirationArtistCultureGivenExistenceTeachingModernMediaEventsInformationProduceSourceFineMassGainsMereDataFabricEchoesReignImaginativeDrainsFine ArtsMass MediaDead EndsAffording Book:The Spectacle of Skill: New and Selected Writings of Robert Hughes Source: The Spectacle of Skill: New and Selected Writings of Robert Hughes
