***After all, even if you don't like films of Chaplin, Tarkovsky or Godard, for example, you can still see their merits.There is definitely some room for that. I could supply many personal examples (Brahms, Rockwell, etc). But all this still stops at some point - such acceptance is NOT unlimited.
For instance, I would not have any works by Rockwell or Parish anywhere near me, but I can understand his attractiveness to some. But take that snow shovel... the one that used to be on display in Philadelphia Museum of art. It was your average Home Depot model, broken in two. One half suspended on a fishing line from the ceiling.
It is in instances like that one that I say - no more, stop.
***I will accept your age superiority, but like I told you in NY - give it time, I'll be there too:)) Not that I am rushing it...
But you remember that old philosophy proof of why the rabbit shall never overtake the turtle? By the time the rabbit gets to where the turtle is now, it will be already gone. And when he gets to where it is later, it is gone from there too...
So even when you catch up with me I shall remain few years older... that is so nice to know.
Not to be a pest, but "poshlost'" is not really vulgarity, it is far more complicated and subtle. The traditional example of elefants on top of a piano is not vulgar. If you have not read it I am sure you will find Nabokov's explanation wonderfully engaging.
