do you like modernist/pomo movements like abstract expressionism, concept art, etc.?

because every so often I'll talk to somebody who is very knowledgeable and has the best insights into art like romanticism/classicism, and then they go on and write paragraphs about stuff like Rothko. I understand trying to delve into Platonic philosophy and apply it to stuff like the art in this thread, but I just cannot get behind these new movements as the logical successor to western art. I just cannot. It has no meaning for me, and I dont think I should have to force myself to intellectualize to 'get' whatever the artist says they are trying to say with the art. It should speak for itself, cliched, I know, but very very very relevant today. I have no immediate emotional response to abstract expressionism/action painting/etc and I know what I like and what is good, I'm just tired of people philosophizing contemporary art post dada just because they dont wanna say 'fuck it, lets scrap all this shit and begin again at romanticism', which I think would be the best option.

Sorry for the wall of text, I just get excited knowing someone is versed in art, even in art school its the rarest fucking thing
