So many unconventional artists are insufferable? I don't know... I mean sure, but aren't conventional artists even more insufferable?

I personally like unconventional art and enlightened art. You may want to try not sounding pretentious when you criticise others for being pretentious. Just saying, some self-awareness is much needed there.

>The artists who make us look at everyday ordinary things in a new way will always be the greats

Yeah, I could get behind that.

Speaking of Picasso, Jackson Pollock is another somewhat overrated artist imo. When these guys did what they initially did, it was phenomenal because it was so unique. However, they then just rinsed and repeated the same style over and over. The interesting thing about Pollock is he used a lot of tools that weren't used for painting, but the idea of splashing paint on a canvas just never appealed to me very much. It's only certain ones that have a lot of detail and interesting colors that I like, but most of them I find rather boring.

And who's that guy who makes all the weird ugly sculptures you see in parks and plazas? I guess there a bunch of them, but that stuff just always disgusted me.

A lot of these guys are highly celebrated by the art world, and I find them mediocre. I guess compared to them Picasso is a genius. Still, my friend's 8 year-old daughter makes more interesting art in my opinion.

I attached a picture of her art.

One thing I really like about Picasso is the quote: "It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child."
