>>4174302>noooooo NOOOOO HE KNOWSArt is exclusively the domain of midwits. A brief history of critique is riddled with 110-IQ sons-of-bankers getting into prose contests with each other and taking art along for the ride. Artists have historically been midwits themselves, a class of idea guys and knows-betters, to whom everything is a subtle joke that they need to explain, and to whom is a symbol they need to describe later. The artist fancies himself clever but lacks the supreme intelligence required to put clever towards practical ends beyond the reach of "the average man, but faster and more reliable". Even one additional IQ point, it seems, is enough to lay their bullshit bare as psychology manipulative and self congratulatory.
