Greer on Art
'One must ask oneself the question in our society: Can any painting be worth the total yearly income of a thousand families? And if we must answer that it is, and the auction reports tell us so, then I think we are forced to consider the possibility that the art on which we nourish ourselves is sapping our vitality and breaking our hearts.'
Germaine Greer, 1979.

And the same art now refuses to make itself accountable to the tastes of those families whose incomes it mercilessly mocks. Fuck modern art.
