I wish I would’ve had a better professor in college that could convey to a young mind, the scope of what Danto describes in his work. It’s not enough to read What is Art and call it a a day. Meaning and aesthetics is as old as color vision, everyone ought to take the time time to appreciate the philosophy which constructs it.

Art critics are to art as lawyers are to crime. They suck all the air and the value out of the room.

But are you not also contributing to that which you deride here by expressing a view about art?
