( No Title )
Just got back from an incredibly moving symphony and a bunch of posh people in the bathroom during intermission were saying how much they hated it because it made them feel guilty and upset (the composition is specifically about environmentalism and anthropogenic mass extinction) and I just want to say…..
Art isn’t supposed to always make you feel happy.
It’s supposed to make you feel.
Good art makes you feel, whether it’s joy or guilt or sadness or anger or fear. If you’re not prepared for art to give you complicated feelings, you don’t actually care about art, you just want to be entertained.
