Elitism


Dave Hickey recently published a book of art criticism called Pirates and Farmers. This book appeared in the world despite an almost equally recent announcement of the author's retirement from the field of art criticism, "due to the new extreme popularity, oversimplification and commoditization of art." 'I miss being an elitist and not having to talk to idiots,' said the amiable Hickey.
