Since 1960s pop art the art world has been happy for artists to use the lowbrow to add zest and authenticity to their works. But middlebrow has resonances of the suburban bourgeousie who might see art as aspirational by association.

About This Quote

Pop art has always been a way for artists to portray different perspectives of the world. This generation is no different. They are drawing from their own experiences to draw their own conclusions. Their style is very different from the current art scene which uses the same techniques to present the same images over and over again.

Middlebrow is getting recognition all around the world because it brings something new to the table. This generation has drawn inspiration from their own experiences and drawn conclusions about them that are not being drawn by anyone else today. They are bringing something new to this art scene, but they are also using it as a way to show their frustration with what has come before.
