I agree with on all his points except the last one. The United States is not the best country to make art; It may very well be the best country for a bourgeoisie artist to make a good living, although at the expense of abandoning a dialectical relationship with history. In my opinion the best art is the finest art that challenges, and transforms the public mind: it transforms our sense of ethos. The best art today is available on the internet, and most of the artists that make it, have to work a day job to make a living. They live in every country on the earth.
