09/20/09: The Plot Against Art, Part 2 I hate to tell you this, but if you like modern art there has to be something radically wrong with you. To feel hostile towards it is as natural as being repelled by incest. Modern art is out to corrupt you. If it doesn’t do this, it will have failed to achieve the primary purpose of its elitist promoters. It will have failed to undermine traditional values. It will have failed to produce a “culture of pessimism.” It will have failed to destroy the sacral core of life. It will have failed to poison your mind and give you the sickness unto death. It will have failed to make you what Big Brother finally managed to make Winston Smith in Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four: a mindless zombie.

Damien Hirst, A
Thousand Years (1990). Richard Lacayo of
Time Magazine:
“A
Thousand Years is
a large glass box in which real maggots hatch into flies that appear to feed on
blood from a severed cow’s head.”
Charles Saatchi and Hirst had a "symbiotic
relationship" as collector and artist from about 1992–2003.---09/20/09: The Plot Against Art, Part 2
