Art Bastard

What defines art and its connection to society? Is its worth measured by how popular it is or by its uniqueness? Is the aim to make money or to convey a personal vision? These are some of the questions explored as we follow the journey of Robert Cenedella, a fiercely independent artist from New York, who has spent decades fighting for creative freedom. As a student, protégé, and friend of the German artist George Grosz, Cenedella now carries forward Grosz’s artistic philosophy in the very classroom where Grosz once taught. “ART BASTARD” offers a humorous, heartfelt, and insightful glimpse into Cenedella’s relentless effort to challenge the norms of popular art while critiquing its appeal, showcasing the rebellious spirit of a true original.
