Thanks for sharing! I didn't agree with quite a lot of what he said, but I think it was an interesting watch and critic of modern art. I'm not sure that I'd agree that the sole or primary aim of art is necessarily beauty (although, it is the case that this is the primary aim of many pieces of art) or that losing this aim is a damning testimony about the state of humanity or modern society. Also, the idea that beauty is somehow the "divine" in corporeal form seems almost laughably outdated as a point of view (although this is presumably highly personal).

If someone else can add a tag, it'd be a #goodlongwatch (if define an hour as long!).

Those who support that idea would say that it's timeless. :)
