Meanwhile, there would be no such thing as "designer" were it not for the industrialization of books, posters, prints, lithographs, photography, so it's pretty damn selective to rail against industrialization but...ya know know...only in my job.

So the idea that systematization of art is somehow anti-artistic is bullshit, and it's always been bullshit. Artists for millennia were professionals who made products and wanted quality, and to create that quality product they crafted systems & manufacturing operations.

Just go read about Rembrandt's workshop and others from that era and you see it's a manufacturing operation. The atelier system of education is based on this even, where students learn aspects of painting by doing them in an assembly line style.

And if design and art has never been capitalist, propagandist, or authoritarian then why are there so many paintings of kings? Let's face it, art has never been socialist or for the people. It's always been self-serving and courting the favor of the powerful.pic.twitter.com/GMirOW9CEp
