Art Manifesto - Calligraphy

Faraz Khan's Art Manifesto:

m&m’s (Morals & Meanings) in Art.

The case against Modern Art is a voice of many critics. Intention is crucial in giving meaning to any artifact. Art is human expression of intention and thus should reflect a purpose. In Modern Art many artifacts are created for the sake of art galleries and showcases that only a few can afford. Thus Modern Art has been limited to a circle of few rich elites. The society where this art is produced is deprived of any benefit except that the whole art industry is serving a minority. This is a deplorable condition given the fact that art is funded by tax dollars of average Americans. Modern art is not public but rather a private affair. Modern art has introduced memberships and entrance fees to exclude majority from experiencing aesthetics. There are many charges against Modern art:

• Modern art is unintelligible to an average person.
• Modern art no longer holds any meaning to an average person.
• Modern art is in crisis and can only be interpreted by an "expert" not general public.
• Modern art often has no connection to its past.
• Modern art is not a matter of expertise.
• Modern Art delineates between rich and poor.
• Modern art is meaningless and often immoral.
• Modern art is uninspiring.
  
  Thus, time has come for a change and injection of spiritual life into the dying physical art forums in the West.
  
• Modern art lacks a spiritual form.
