should we abolish art?
Hell no, especially not now!

The article is less about getting rid of art (as I thought when I clicked on it at first) and more a thoughtful discussion about getting rid of the society of the spectacle around art, and the art market… it advocates for some of the stuff people like Breton and Mondrian were in favor of - making art something that’s more everyday engagement for more people, rather than something only a few people do and the rest of us merely consume as a marker of our class status.

Now ticked off, Hugo’s drawings vary between tight architectural drawings to fantasy and abstract. Many of them seem to begin as a rough brown ink wash and then the imagination takes over with tighter ink drawings applied.
Would recommend, but note that these drawings are fragile, so the light levels are very low, sometimes frustratingly so, and there are some tiny drawings, barely bigger than a postage stamp.
