Pulp Art, Literally
I think the idea that art has to say something to be interesting is bullshit. What’s wrong with art existing for purely aesthetic reasons? Art for art’s sake, I say, and take your ideas about art to the NYT art pages. So, I’ve decided to make my next painting as vapid as possible. Colorful, fascile, huge, and shiny. It’s going to be at least 5′ x 5′, probably bigger. I’m going to paint this pomegranate:
I’d also like to integrate this african cucumber, if possible:
I’m going to revel in aesthetic frippery, and I’m going to love it.
So, I guess I’ve kind of proved myself wrong, in that art that’s saying nothing is still saying something, by virtue of saying nothing. Still, I think it will look awesome.

sometimes i look at my boyfriend just because he’s pretty.
