Since when has contemporary art offered anything "new" or "challenging" though? Most of them are creating completely inane art pieces with some bullshit "deep meaning" and "symbolism" behind them. Like that fucking banana taped to a wall. Marcel Duchamp already made the point that art can be literally anything when he took a urinal, put it on its side and signed his name on it. And that was very cute and cheeky back then, but then damn near the entire fine art world took that horse completely unironically, rode it into the ground, and then beat its corpse into the Earth's core. All they're doing is rehashing the same bullshit tropes ad infinitum.
Maybe art isn't for the common man because art critics have their heads up their asses.
The way I see it contemporary art is about pretending you're a lot smarter and more interesting than you really are while having nothing of substance at all.
