On X, I’m following contemporary art museums and art magazines. They're keeping me informed on what's going on in the art world. One of the leading art magazines, Art in America, featured an artist, Joan Snyder. Apparently, she's famous in a way, with one of her paintings in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and another in the Harvard Art Museums. Two of these paintings are from 2023, and the other two are from 1970.
The reviewer comments that "nothing is ever coy or evasive" with her work. He also says, "seeing how everything in her work is what it is makes me feel... I don't know how to say it... encouraged in my own being."
My take is rather different. If you gave paints, brushes, and a canvas to a psychotic person who was tone-deaf, colorblind, and retarded, then these works would make sense.
I highly doubt that the reviewer or the artist has any clue about aesthetics or art. I don't think they have the self-awareness to know what pretentiousness is. I'm almost certain they are both useful idiots, in the sense that they're being used by elite puppet masters in psychological warfare—not only to destroy the integration of heart, mind, and senses but to destroy each of those elements outright. It renders the victim in a universe of dissonance so extreme that they'll kiss the boots of whoever tramples them. No dignity, no self-esteem, no insight, and no passion for life. That's the real agenda.
The motive behind Art in America sharing this work? We can thank the CIA for not only making this crap possible but for launching what I call PMUltra—my play on MKUltra, the evil psychological manipulation with drugs and other devices that the CIA has used. And they did that with postmodern art.
Now, I understand this can be extraordinarily depressing. The most important point I’m making is that people are being victimized. Good people are being victimized by psychological warfare through art.
Rather than feeling defeated, the key is awareness. By recognizing this manipulation, we can reclaim our ability to discern true art from psychological warfare. Support artists whose work resonates with the human spirit, and refuse to be swayed by those who seek to bring you into their artistic psychosis—and by the puppet masters who use them.

That was awesome. Very astute of you. Having lived in Paris for 14 years I’m going to countless museums and different Art events. I realize what you’re saying. ridiculous that these people.
I h!ave a wild kitten that could do better than this. But I was as bad at making this kind of stuff when I was in elementary school and made my first picture for my mother and father. I realized it and it led to me finding what I am good at. Love ya, Sharon
