    Isn’t most of that stuff building on former stuff too? So like, maybe to someone who isn’t deep into art can’t understand it but someone who knows what’s led up to a certain piece being made, what artists it’s influenced by and why, what it’s saying, what it’s critiquing, who it’s speaking to, all these things are important aspects.

    It’s like… Most advanced science is completely nonsense if you don’t have the basic science to understand it? I think that’s what I’m getting at.
