I don’t think Mr. Powhida’s art deserves such a treatment. Artists have their ways of expressing things. They don’t know how to appreciate the art that he’s done. I personally believe that it was a magnificent art piece. I hope he just shut his mouth if he got nothing good to say. Anyway, thank you for sharing this post. I am glad that I came across this site. I would love to come back again to see your other posts. I bookmarked this site already. Thanks again. I hope you keep this site up and running! This is a very interesting article.

The majorities bow down, hoping to make an impression. Sometimes a door opens and a lucky one sneaks inside the polished, well licked world of art. And even more rare, an instance occurs when the employer(s) meet this establishment eye to eye with serious honesty. Not to play games, but to morally reckon with, question and challenge. Such as history has had these cases, there shall never be too many. What ripens effectively dies from exhaustion. Therefore another must take its place, or their society will surely become ineffective. Artists employ the very institutions and politics they are restrained by.

I foretell that Mr. Powhida's Hoovervill drawing will be in one of those boxes.

While Powhida says the drawing isn't comprehensive it certainly feels like it is — art scene in a nutshell. It's like a diorama, a little microcosm that's like a pseudo-objective model of the real world - fixed in a specific time & place. I'm not understanding the longevity issue. This isn't a big-aura artwork, it's a political cartoon, and will be relevant to the archive if anyone in the future has an historic curiosity about art in NYC in 2010. And for that very reason people who aren't in the picture will be pissed that they haven't been included. Tempest! in a teapot! It's pretty funny.The positive outcome of a social critique like this is that, for some people, it will render the teapot kind of inconsequential. Like, hey - there are so many other great art questions we could spend our time evaluating besides who's who. Tempests in teapots are the funniest tempests of all.
