Todays modern art is a joke.
You read the story about someone putting a pineapple in a museum and the next day the museum had a glass case around the pineapple.

Edited by The Cellar Door: 1/7/2018 7:26:45 AMThere is a point being made about simplicity. Namely, it is expected and purely ironic that people attack artwork like this for not being “artsy enough.” These are the people [i]its attacking[/i]. Its almost satire, really. It’s like someone who knows nothing about art feels as though they are justified in deciding what is and isn’t art? They choose to engage in such unsubstantiated snobbery? Well then, let’s make something they won’t think is art, and make them believe that it takes unsubstantiated snobbery to find meaning in it. That’ll really piss them off. Art is very often about pissing people off. Forcing people to engage in a emotional response, whether that’s from meaning explicitly portrayed, or a result of a more abstract approach. You know, it’s like Duchamp’s [url=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/ce/Marcel_Duchamp.jpg]Fountain[/url]. The fact that it is referred to as art provokes people. And that’s [i]exactly[/i] what Duchamp wanted to do.

[quote]Explains why you think Kanye West is artistic.[/quote] This video seems pretty relevant. Of course, the video has spawned parodies and has been heavily criticized as being unnecessarily cheesy and lacking of artistic vision, and the same people who make those criticisms are the ones the video is attacking. [quote] I wanted to take white trash T-shirts and make it into a video. I wanted it to look as phony as possible, I wanted the clouds to go one direction, the mountains to go one direction, the horses to go over there, cause I want to show you that this is The Hunger Games. I want to show you that this is the type of imagery that's been presented to all of us. And the only difference is a black dude in the middle of it.[/quote] -KW

I like that those artworks make people angry, I think bashing them for not being art proves that they are

Meaning makes art [i]art.[/i] I used to shit on everything that I thought was ugly, too, until I started actually learning about different works. Even the Dada movement had artistic merit.

It’s hard to define art because everyone has different visions... some are a little more “crazy” than others lmao. Personally I’m into abstract paintings cause I like to interpret them.

I enjoy certain abstract, especially graffiti. Just some things are not are. Throwing pain on a canvas or painting one line down tbe center is not art.

Yeah, I’m into like distorted painting like you can tell what it is but it’s distorted and trippy and sometimes only has meaning to the artist
