I found the essay here:
White Elephant Art vs. Termite Art
This is the full text of a manifesto by Manny Farber, written in 1962. Since
disavowed by
Farber, this piece has nonetheless served as fierce inspiration for me and the
other
members of the Termite Television Collective.
This all sounds like the speculations of people who failed to get an education.

OK, I'll tell you the context I heard it - it was on an old TV show (blush)
Six Feet Under -
Claire is in art school and the teacher criticizes her friend's sculpture as
elephant art
Then he asks the class Anybody know what elephant art is? No one says
anything. Then
he says It was invented

Some zoos have their elephants make paintings, which they then sell.
Don't know if this was the reference.
