A Note to Nihilists You Know Who You Art
By: - Jan 10th, 2014When I wrote about Guyton and Kassay in my article on Zombie Art, who produce ice-cold replicas of High Modernist art, I detected that the only way to get a grasp on these artist’s success was to see the correspondence between the nihilist air we breathe and their total lack of anxiety about being a simulacrum of another person’s style.
