(I'm a little behind on reading my New Yorkers.) I had similar thoughts. I pretty much completely agree with you.K.

If you’re opposed to reproductive freedom, want unlimited war, love fracking, believe it’s okay for Monsanto, Big Pharma, and Bank of America to operate unchecked, and that the top 1% should not pay their share of taxes, then you’re on the right. If not, you’re on the left. Therefore if being for access to birth control, universal health care, gun control, and marriage between persons of any gender makes me a screaming radical pinko commie liberal, I’ll proudly wear the label.<br /><br />And while I do believe that there are a number of artists out there more celebrated than they deserve, I find it weird that a whole movement in contemporary art—here minimalism—should be seen as some kind of conspiracy (which I’m clearly part of) to pull the wool over the eyes of innocents. What would be the point, really? I’m just amazed that something as innocuous as non-objective art should threaten anyone. But then I’ve been amazed at a lot this election year.Carol Diehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023589628710711343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865764596112100655.post-5139066277649905612012-03-23T12:19:24.014-04:002012-03-23T12:19:24.014-04:00Now juuuust a minute.

Bear in mind that there are many artists whose politics are center right and whose work may be abstract or representational. Some of us don't even get in line for grants. In any case, demonizing those whose politics are centre right is not only spurious but should be the job of the far left. Not a reasonably intelligent but clearly left wing art blogger like yourself. I enjoy your blog but like others...I'm getting a little suspicious.Kate Mcleannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865764596112100655.post-43871940925010469862012-03-22T11:44:48.500-04:002012-03-22T11:44:48.500-04:00"HI Carolyn, I am a regular reader of yours....."HI Carolyn, I am a regular reader of yours..."<br />Hmm...
