Art in the Present Day

The disconnect between art and music in the popular imagination is considerable, given the fact that popular singers and musicians are always referred to as artists.


In many cases elitist notions of art appear contrived to limit the public appreciation of works that diverge from the commonplace, and cultural conditions at times reflect the idea that the broad audience of people is incapable of understanding and enjoying a diversity of works. 

This is nonsense.  Such ideas are unworthy of the cultivated mind.
