One need only look at Fox's 1960 furniture store abstraction to see
who's a kook. It also pays to read his stuff on RAF to see that he is
a Modern Academic Art fundamentalist.

The strange notion that legitimate art is limited to the realism of the
19th century french academy is laughable unless you're a janitor from Crib
Death, Iowa.

The strange notion that the only legitimate art of the 20th century is
limited to the crap in the modern sections of museums is laughable
especially when you see mountains of Fox type wall covering all over
the net and in the painting racks of accredited schools run by people
who know even less than Fox..

The art renewal website is a hoot to be sure,

and a poke in the cerebral hemorrhoids for anyone like Fox who can't
draw and exhibits little more than post Kindergarten craft.

ARC at last shows the artwork of the past which was suppressed for
four generations and offers an alternative to the slanted art history
taught in "accredited" schools. Among other things it suggests
schools that offer an alternitive to those which teach a creed instead
of a craft.

Here one can see and compare the alternitive to Modern academic Art
and decide about it for one self. Before the advent of the net this
was not available.
