Once Art became about theories, interpretations, social and political positioning, once every artwork came with a long explanation larded w jargon, this was its inevitable end.

Or: once Art could be anything it became nothing, and once being an artist didn't involve talent, skill, technique etc it meant anyone could be an "artist", which explains such 21st-century masterpieces as the guy who canned his own shit or the many female "artists" who consider exposing their breasts and genitals "art".

Wake me when and if Western culture ever exits its "infants dancing on the grave of the Old World" stage, which if it were a person, would be able to apply for Social Security by now.
