Now, Comes the Intellect

"Art is a selective re-creation of reality according to an artist’s metaphysical value-judgments." - Ayn Rand.

Art is not something which a bunch of bureaucrats discussing about an absurd Novel over a cocktail party, which they are struggling to read themselves.

Now-a-days, Art has become like that. These people will carry "Ulysses" by James Joyce, wherever they go. These people just try to showoff, but in the darkness they know what they are. I will tell you the truth, if you want to really read "Ulysses" by James Joyce, first of all buy a "Oxford Dictionary", memorize all the words in it before you start reading it. You will find all the word from Dictionary in it, for unknown reason.

These people will say that "Slumdog Millionaire" is an artistic film. I will reason with you, what do you think is a "Film" ? I will say it is the Storyline. In this film, the Artist who created it shows his "Metaphysical Value-Judgments".

Come on, will you watch a Computer Graphics Show for 1.5 hours and screen it in Theaters because it has complex arithmetics and Mandelbrot sets.

As for me, Art is a Michelangelo Picture, Bharatanatyam, Music, Concerts, Sculptures, etc... which I can feel, which I can understand, which is clear. All these things have a Grammars, Rules, Structures.

Understand me, you also write Novels by playing with Grammars, Rules and Structures, but saying nothing clearly. It is what some of the Novels now-a-days do. They think it is intellectual. Actually, they don't know it is always the other way around, Grammars, Rules and Structures are for making things clear, not to perplex.

It is not like I need to look into some absurd perplexing picture, so called "Modern Art" and come to my own conclusion. The picture will be a real chaos. Nobody knows what was in the mind of the Artist who created it. It maybe some sort of his "Practical Jokes", he might have created it to fool people, generation by generation.
