Classism in art

edited 2014-03-19 14:29:59 in Media

It's unnerving that value judgments in art are rooted in prejudice against poor people. I mean, the term "unwashed masses" originates from a derogatory slur towards them, as well as high culture and low culture having an inherent wealth connotation influences how one looks down on the other.

  • Value judgements in art are always rooted in prejudice, this isn't limited to poor people. Accusations of elitism, the market compromising your artistic integrity, catering towards liberals(http://tim-parks.com/the-nobel-individual) or other political camps, art that fails its function because it does not challenge the viewer, cultural appropriation and artworks that can only be really gotten by people of a certain oppressed group, death of the author and whether or not this leads to the specter of moral relativism-anything can and will be used to feel morally superior to others.
