An opportunity to discuss it with Andrea Barretta, a central figure in art criticism. A guide to our time, to understand the shadows and even social problems of an art that has degenerated to the point of being unrecognizable. The author addresses those who nurture disguised commercial operations, showing artistic gorges that have gone beyond the sense of measure and the ridiculous and leave ... only words, in not giving meaning to respect, beyond all those horrible, senseless things, which however they call art. Then Barretta prepares observations and examples to bring order to the disorder, and traces the difference between art, non-art and the anti-art that deprives beauty. An essay as a point of reference to reject what lies in the catastrophe that has gone beyond every limit in grotesque artifacts and enormous nonsense, and the author does so in a rigorous investigation because it is worrying for humanity. True art, he says, is always definable and those who say otherwise have an interest in creating deception in an apparatus that proposes the ugly and the useless in an epochal fraud, in a system that is rotten and in a market that does nothing but immortalize itself in proposing rubbish, since in this context we have managed to hurt ourselves a lot, like slipping on a banana peel.
