Rules:
Sure. There are fascist artists where I'll point at a thing and say 'yeah but.... That one though.'. Dali's stuff always seemed transgressive only because it was shallow, peurile. Derisive without being insightful or critical. He did not slaughter sacred cows; he only reveled in his privilege and what he could get away with. His art was never engagement, only masturbation. What did he ever subvert? What did he contribute? What did he say that mattered for shit?
And I say this wearing a barely-changed twenty dollar knockoff of a barely changed simplified Chanel pattern made just the way she would have, so I'm literally laying in evidence that I can appreciate beauty or discourse from spectacularly shitty people.
