Why is so well appreciated Tapies art when I see it is an art devoid of merit and whose release had much to do ideological criteria as was the fact of being an opponent of Franco? Could not create an observatory of independent reviewers who appreciate art irrespective of the ideological label artists and only for its aesthetic values? Juan, Spain
Dear John, I think you do not like the art of Antoni Tapies (first three pictures) and maybe going to be difficult to convince you of their merits. But the art world does not care about your political ideology or your way of thinking. Picasso (fourth image) was also against Franco. I can give you another example more convincing. The famous Mexican artist Diego Rivera (fifth picture) was a communist, but still, worked and painted murals in the United States. One of the murals were painted in the Ford Motor Company of Detroit in 1930, the era of the great depression era. Many people objected to the mural was painted by Diego Rivera. After painting, the mural he was branded as "vulgar and non-American." But the wall still exists and is considered one of the best murals of Rivera. Nelson Rockefeller, an icon of American industry, saw the mural in Detroit and asked for a mural for the RCA building in New York. Diego Rivera painted the mural, but he had painted the face of Lenin from the mural subjects and therefore destroyed the mural after 4 months. Everyone knew that Rivera was a communist, but his art was accepted on their merits, not ideology.

The first artist to paint abstract art was Vassily Kandinsky (last picture), who was Russian. He gives the credit to Kandinsky as the first artist who painted abstract art. We do not take the value that his work deserves for his way of thinking, their politics or their place of birth.
For Tapies, its success is not anti-Francoist ideology. He is an artist well known in the art world, his works are in the best museums in the world. That says it all. If an artist is accepted by the art infrastructure, political ideology is not for or against any scheme, because he deserves to be there. Juan
most critics are independent and there is no need to create an observatory of independent reviewers. And we, because I am also an art critic, we are impartial and we do not get in the way of thinking, their politics or ideology of the artist, but because his work is all that matters. In art there are no boundaries or political ideologies, there is art, and its true merits. Juan
I hope my answer has been removed from your doubts. Thanks for your question. Augusto
