MANSON'S COLLABORATION WITH WORLD RENOWN ARTIST GOTTFRIED HELNWEIN
CAN BE VIEWED IN THE SAME WAY: A COMBINATION OF LOW ART (ROCK MUSIC) WITH HIGH ART (PAINTING) Disney and Dada Blending Art and Music: With the The Golden Age of Grotesque, Manson has attempted something not seen since Disney's unusual masterwork, Fantasia. Fantasia, the collaboration between Walt Disney and Leopold Stokowski, was Disney's first attempt to combine low art (his animation) with high art (classical music). Manson's collaboration with world renown artist Gottfried Helnwein can be viewed in the same way: a combination of low art (rock music) with high art (painting). Manson was well aware of this, as he mentioned to NY Rock, "We grew up with the idea that entertainment is some lesser form of art, less valuable, less sincere, less worthy of our attention. I don't agree with it at all."
