The Art of this Culture

First off...... define "this." There are many cultures, even in America. Which can be broken into sub-cultures, etc...

I'm going to assume you mean the culture of America as a whole, which is very broad.

However, on that note, I think the American Culture when it reflects art is in flux right now. Art experts are busy trying to document past movements and get everything analyzed and recognized.
Yet, they are still trying to do the same for current art. I think they are delving too far into the catalog aspect of it and not putting it out there just for the beauty of it. Obviously this isn't for all art, just what the experts see as "defining pieces." Artists are using all types of styles nowadays both present/progressive and styles from past movements. Its kinda unfair to some to get swept back and wait for 40 years while the experts are catching up trying to document the past.
