Art dreco

"Movement" that is really advertising for a single nonnotable artist (who is also the page author). NawlinWiki 20:43, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

THE BEST MOVEMENT EVER!!!! This is a completely valid form of art and I cry when I think that people thing otherwise! Please keep Art Dreco on Winkopedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.3.238.192 (talkcontribs)

Art Dreco is as good and valid a performance art concept as The Church of the Subgenius, SCHWA, and anything Andy Kaufman ever did including his untimely passing. Its roots can be traced to the very heart and soul of Dada, not to mention Mama - especially YoMama, but I will admit, not YoYoMa who is in fact a cellist. Look it up if you don't believe me. To dismiss Dreco as a conceit by one mad individual does a great disservice to all the other mad individuals who have given so much to the movement - and taken so much from its detractors. The short-sighted criticisms of a few bitter rivals (you know who you are...) only proves my point. Long Live Dreco! When Wikipedia is but a faint bzt bzt bzt echo of cyberdust, I promise you - there will still be Art Dreco. You'll see. We'll show them all! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.3.238.192 (talkcontribs)

As page author I'd like to clear up some misconceptions of some earlier postings.

Art Dreco is not the work of any artist. A cursory look at the Art Dreco Institute website reveals work spread out over two centuries and created on every continent.

Art Dreco is not a commercial or promotional endeavor. The Institute has existed since 1973, has been listed in the Encycopedia of Associations, since 1976 and has been reported on in numerous magazines, newspapers, radio and television programs.

It raises valid aeshtetic, philosophical and artistic issues. In order to value, understand or appreciate this art movement a sense of humor is important... I find this also to be true in life
