There are people who think literature is somehow better than sculpture.

Here's a cool fact. Shakespeare gave up writing because he knew it was a shit art form.

One day he just went back to Stratford and gave it all up because it was a waste of time.

G-d tier: Music, sculpture

Great tier: poetry, drama

Good tier: literature, pure cinema

mediocre tier: filmed theater, photography

bad tier: literature of ideas, digital photography

Did you ever read Freud's analysis of this statue?

It's good.

Goes to show, literature and sculpture can co-exist. No need for this immature "better than/worse than" bullshit.

I disagree but I was looking at some of Pisano's stuff the other day and literally teared up, I don't know if it was a combination of the music I was listening to or what but damn.

I think it was this:

lol sculpture is brute work which is automatically bad tier. music manipulates the senses and makes them delirious, making it irrational and thus never higher than good tier. film is bad tier. literature is good-great tier. drama is great. poetry is god tier. photography is lolkillyourselftier.
