Architectural Sketch for a Rear Entrance to the Museum of
Critically Approved Modern Art
When something is labeled illustration, kitsch or commercial by a critic, it simple
means that it is politically incorrect in the Modern Academic sense. These labels are
usually assigned to artwork exhibiting a high degree of skill and craft, which most people
like without the benefit of an Artspeak indoctrination. When they come from Modern Art
critics they really mean blasphemy, artistic evil and ignore anything so labeled. Such
artwork is then excommunicated from any holy place showing Modern Academic Art.
Modern Academic theologians, critics and historians have damned some of the best 19th
and 20th century artwork by simply using these labels.
Here are some examples of good and evil as seen from the Modern Academic point of view.

Questionable
Not yet labeled as evil by critics. But they try to pass off the sense that its art
going off in the wrong direction. Things are starting to get suspiciously kitschy in
their opinion. |

Evil
Academic evil. Never mind the detail, the technique or any attractive quality in the
subject matter. Modern Academic Art Critics do their best to make believe that this sort
of painting doesn't really exist. |

The whole history of 19th century academic painting is ignored by contemporary
historians. You would think that the artwork most admired during this time was
nonexistent. It is as if a book on 20th century history devoted only one page to Hitler.
