    i kind of agree, however, i don't like the term "mainstream" when used in the context of art. i think such sweeping generalizations are too presumptuous.

    the communication link, to me, has always been between the art and the observer, not the artist and the observer. as such, any persons perception of art may vary from piece to piece and not necessarily from artist to artist. and using that rational, anyone can appreciate a piece regardless of any level of intellect, right-brainedness, or any other logical grouping you may choose. i'm sure there are those out there who are big fans of kelly clarkson and britney spears and other "mainstream" music artists who may also appreciate the work of abstract artists like pollock, for example.
