“Why Art Became Ugly” — Spanish translation
A Spanish translation of my “Why Art Became Ugly” has been published online. I do not know the translator, but to him or her I say: “Thanks!”
The original piece was published in English in Navigator in 2004 and is now online here and has been translated into German [pdf], and Korean [pdf]. It’s also included as a supplement in the Expanded Edition of my Explaining Postmodernism.

Art did not become ugly, it became free in spirit.
Freedom from reality is ugly.
If what art did was become free in spirit I would say I can do without artist’s being free in spirit but rather that they learn some real skills!
