Response to Aditi's post, "The Ever Changing World of Art"

Q: In an ever changing world, is art always subjective to the time? Does it come and go like a trend?


I think the two main forms of art where we see fads that come and go are fashion and music.  How many times have you thought to yourself, "I can't believe this song is on the radio again," or "Who would actually wear that?"  I like to treat the way I dress, the music I listen to the same way I treat the movies I watch and the art I enjoy.  Critics do not have too much influence on me in the art world and if they did I wouldn't be the same person I am today.


The main stream art that is being shoved in our faces by the media can be ridiculous and what seems to be "in" is changing so much that it is physically impossible to keep up without becoming a programed zombie.
