Thank you so much for posting this.

1:29:54 is great!

Modern art has become Design as an end in itself.

So glad to watch this as it reflects so many issue I have with modern art. A friend of mine recently returned to Australia from the USA and said she visited some Art Galleries. She saw some Modern Art and felt at a loss as to how she felt about it saying there were things like installations and other "stuff" she had no idea about what it was saying. She didn,t have the patience to try and figure it out so ignored it. She referred to it as CRAP ART. I thought about this and it occurred to me how many people refer to Modern,Contemporary Art as CRAP ART. Maybe I solved your problem just call their stuff CRAP ART and the GOOD Stuff FINE ART so that the general public know what to expect when they go to a Gallery. There, problem solved .

1h22min49s: Polish cavalry never attacked tanks - neither during WW1 or WW2. They were attacking infantry and enemy cavalry with extraordinary efficiency. Germans and Soviets of course also had theirs cavalry, which was blown to dust by the Polish cavalry. The false image was a Goebbelsian propaganda (movies: „Feldzug in Polen” and „Kampfgeschwader Lützow”), which - repeated many times - turned into a myth. This myth was aimed to make Poles looking foolish and was used by the Nazis and the Soviets. It was popular in the west because it was exotic. The journalist of "Corriere della Sera" - Indro Montanelli - had a large share in this. Later, after almost 60 years, he admitted that he lied. After the WW2 the communist' servant, Andrzej Wajda, in his movie „Lotna” copied this silly motive in order to make blowjob to the Soviet communist regime (occupying afterwar Poland) that made him later worldwide known director.

Why do these artists care so much about art history and critics/philosophers? It's as if they are always asking permission to be themselves from people and ideas long dead. Get rid of these corpses, this burden of knowledge does you absolutely no good. The art establishment turned its back on you, why do you keep knocking on their door and begging for acceptance?

From 50 minutes on, you should sleep, guy is just talking whatever... cant stand this " philosophers"
