When the exhibition “Parallel of Life and Art” showed grainy reproduction of fine works of art, Hopkins says the “exhibition subordinated the authentic artistic gesture to the principle of reproducibility.” Were the artists in the IG creating art, or destroying art? (This question was asked about Duchamp as well. Maybe a less specific question that follows is: are all artistic revolutions intrinsically destructive?)
