Here we'll cover topics from Outsider Art and prisoner art to censorship in the arts. Want to know about art theft? Maybe you have an interest in art forgery?
We'll talk about the life of working artists from creation to gallery, the value of critique, the criteria for 'professional art', educating personal aesthetic, how to look at art, the value of art, public art, trophy art, censorship, vandalism, and museum issues and more. I'll even throw in some movie and music reviews.
