In this article from 1969, Kurt brings together a variety of themes he had been exploring for the previous four years and packs them all into one piece. With regard to the world of "fine art" movements he concludes, "But now we have rediscovered that the whole world is art and everyone is an artist, so how can there by any more movements?" Rock and Roll, Marshall McLuhan, Marcel Duchamp and Mr. Boob from Yellow Submarine all make an appearance.
The word "Playboy" was written in to top right-hand corner of the first page, though it does not appear to have been published in that magazine. Perhaps in an effort to encourage that, he discusses the use of explicit sexual images in contemporary and Pop art, but in his typical fashion takes things well beyond that subject. "The question now is simply whether or not we can utilize the amazing resources and efficiencies developed by some 5,000 years of art, science, technology and social organization in order to, first, avoid global suicide, and then to make life freer and more beautiful."
