Epilogue, 2009.
Silkscreen-on-paper diptych,
each panel 34 3/4 x 23 1/4 in.



The above, Epilogue, is a work of visual art from Jill Magid.

Magid's Wikipedia page simply states that, "her genre is difficult to categorize." Those six words (particularly the 'sixth' word) summarize all that is wrong in the world of art as we know it. We have traded artistic interpretation for a gruesome rubric--a wound--a string of 'post-post-post-fuck.'

It has all become category. Columns in books.
