"Nor was his cockeyed utopianism unprecedented (Beuys was a prominent member

didn't he kinda help found the Green Party? I've never been totally clear
about this, but I though his student party later went through some
transmogrification into the modern Green Party.
anyway, hearing an art critic rattle on about how conceptual art is not art
is as old-hat and tiresome as a music critic decrying that rap music isn't
music. Why can't the critic say they found it impentetrable, or boring,
instead of needing to invalidate it? Those are perfectly valid natural
recations to Beuys' work. Dismissal the lazy way out of doing crtisim.
