Contemporary Collage

The average intelligent person would agree that, when it comes to food, he can differentiate the good from the bad. He may indulge in junk, but can argue the case of objective quality vs. personal taste. Why shouldn’t the same apply to Art? Is a work of art so inscrutable that only a certain clique can appraise it? Is it built with unquantifiable components; are metaphysical elements involved which defy assessment; or is it just that the modern art métier, comfortable in the awe inspiring aura it has fabricated, has a vested interest in suppressing true critical evaluation? This book looks for the answer in a compilation of collages and words.
