    Perhaps the thing is not so much that we've lost a deeper soul
    expression with our art, but that we Are reflecting our current human
    condition. We are immured by quick items often poorly made in many
    regards. These things are mostly dictated by an industrial profit
    line [which has nothing to do with us mere citizens anyway] and eaten
    up by people seemingly bred to accept this shallow aesthetic as our
    best possible acheivement. AFA the average collective thought goes
    today I'd wager "I like grape jelly" is pretty damn radical.
    Contemporary art reflects everyone's problem. [falling off my
    soapbox;]
