I remember the first time I walked into a gallery and saw that someone had stenciled "FUCK" on the wall and the docent was smugly explaining about how artistically creative it was. Nah, sometimes a "FUCK" is just a "FUCK."

So-called modern art is, at best, a money laundering scheme, and other applications go downhill from there.

That's not to say there aren't tons of gifted and talented artists making art today, they just aren't who you're going to see in the galleries.



Modern art includes a bunch of amazing artists like Picasso


You should have seen the HN thread in some Picasso some months back. Turns out many were displeased with his works and styles.


I think he's referring to the more "out there" postmodern stuff
