Crouch_Manifesto Response

You can tell from the first paragraph that the Author is obviously angry. The tone of the whole thing seemed belligerent, angry, and preachy. In the second and third sentences they insult the clothes worn, although Italy is one of the leading countries in fashion design. They continue by insulting the museams comparing them to graveyards. Expressing that we are poisoning ourselves by being a part of the endless conducted tours. Museums are a part of history, part of the past and it is only natural to want to preserve that as an artist or from a viewers perspective have it there to look at as a reference to the past and for future inspiration. Art definatly doesn't only consist of violence, cruelty, and injustice. It can be those things if that is what the artist intends, but it can be so many other endless things as well. The most insulting thing of all especially because I am a woman and a feminist was his desire to also destroy feminism and anyone who believed in it. It seems that the entirety of this Manifesto was to destroy in general. I am all but cruel, and I defiantly do not agree or have the urge to destroy so this was not something I enjoyed reading or resinated with. I feel like you had to be around during that time when this was written, to really get some of the points he was trying to make. Still with that being said, he wanted war saying that was the only way to clean up things and move into the future of Italy. Anyone who condones war is no one I would ever agree with!
