the art question is interesting. artists that aren't brought up in the mainstream tradition (art schools, art history, the art gallery system) make what is called outsider art. it is snobbery and faggotry of the highest order that the art regime even dictates terms what is "real" art vs outsider art. for a few reasons, one: transgressive garbage art was promoted by the cia as a cold war propaganda tactic and the art world took this bullshit seriously, two: it's become iconoclastic and filled with jewish thought, and three: it's a guild mentality that has no right or business attaching themselves to the tradition of the classics.
