Art History Major Hates Artists

>Bachelor of Arts >Majored in art history >Happily work with my hands doing camp maintenance I fucking hated everyone in my department. To this day, symbolism as a concept just PISSES ME THE FUCK OFF. No, your badly painted vagina does NOT represent the plight of middle-eastern dirt farmers. Just shut the fuck up. It represents a fucking VAGINA. That's it. And not even well. Pic related. I spend DAYS in the sculpture hall, hand carving a whole fucking TREE into a goddamn dragon. Every fucking scale chiseled by hand (I ran out of time, thus the unfinished tail). Come the senior "exit gallery", what is my painstaking labor displayed next to? A crude sculpture of a guy sucking himself off. Fuck artists. Every single one of em. When someone calls me an artist, I get offended. That's the equivalent of calling me a drooling retard.

An art history graduate stands beside a crude sculpture in a gallery while a long wooden dragon sculpture hangs overhead. The narrator angrily contrasts painstaking craftsmanship with allegedly pretentious conceptual art, mocking symbolism and artists who call everything meaningful. It is sent as an absurd reaction to pretension, bad art criticism, or the frustration of making something difficult while receiving less recognition.
