He has no point. There are many modern and contemporary artists with extremely high level of technical skills, reactionary idiots just ignore those because they want to make some argument that seems like the past is better.

Besides, the real criticism of modern art is not that it is about "personal expression", rather, it should be that much of the modern art movement is focused on responding to artistic movements that are no longer recognised or well understood by anyone other than artists since the exaltation of the avant gardè has diminished the prominence of the rigidity of style and standards regarding the nature of art and what is appropriate to consider art and taken centre stage for itself.
And so art becomes increasingly obscurantist as the target of art is the critic, who values art that is a statement about art.
"Personal expression" my sweaty balls. No one thinks a banana taped to the wall is an astonishing gesture if personal expression, shit like that gets hyped by art critics because it is making a statement about art, not about the artist.

Cultural marxism comes from the Frankfurt School though and that was just jewish intellectuals. Cultural marxism is a way of thinking that comes naturally from the jewish psyche because they are a wandering people who have spent most of their history living inside of nations where they feel like alien outsiders. They develop this "if everyone sees everything as exactly the same then I can't be discriminated against" mentality because that benefits them. If you're a small alien group inside of a nation then you want that nation to not even be able to correctly differentiate between themselves and the other that lives amongst them. You see this with basically any immigrant community in the world, they all kind of think like jews, it's just that jews are smart enough to turn it into a whole philosophy that they can then feed to their host nation.

Also pinning the downfall of beauty on the impressionists is a mistake IMO. Most impressionism is very closely related to realism. Zorn, for example, is very loose and impressionistic but by no means inexact or clumsy. The true death of beauty is not rooted in aesthetic standards, but in moral standards. Traditional painting exists to portray universal truths. A romantic painting aims to represent the human condition in all its glory. Modern art (expressionism) is the same. It is a truthful representation of a godless world, ruled by narcissistic insectoids.

The work Pollock is most famous for.is literally more aesthetics driven than the great masters. His most iconic pieces are paint, on a canvas, applied in dynamic ways in order to create layers of colour and shape to create something visually interesting and (hopefully) appealing.
Whereas the artists you prefer rely also on communicating with your intellect through the use of symbols and historical reference to moments, people, places, and most importantly, ideas that you recognise. Pollock eschews communicating with your intellect and presents you with pure visual aesthetics. You fucking monkey.
No one can command you to enjoy Pollock, i don't particularly, but your retarded rigid notions of what counts as art is exactly what got this kind of shit popular in the first place.

Modern art isn't a fucking jewish conspiracy. Use your brain. Artists spent centuries learning the techniques & science behind drawing realistically. And then the camera was invented. Now the world could be captured with the click of a button.

The target audience of painting had never been the common man, it was initially the patron, but had since shifted to the critic. While i do think this has had negative consequences for the way art is taught and understood generally today, that doesnt change that the primary intended audience of painting in any form has never been the man on the street. The critic wishes to see art that is "new" and "challenging", and as such artists will always be in a process of rejecting whatever norms are placed created for them in order to gain more attention than their peers.

Art that has the common man as its primary audience are architecture and monumental sculpture.

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.

Rejection of accepted norms and exploration of new techniques, medium, and process. The move away from depicting concrete forms for the viewer to relate to intellectually, and in to pure aesthetic experience of the materials themselves, that is, an appreciation of the painting as a created artefact as well as a depiction of (exaggerated or stylised) reality.
Come on man, critics eat this shit up. Doing something that was considered forbidden or not a legitimate technique is, to the critic, making a bold statement about the nature of art and expectations of it, the relationship between the depiction and the depicted, the artist and viewer etc.
Of course that is the problem, fine art since the second world war has become increasingly a discourse between the artist and the educated art critic specifically, and that discourse becomes increasingly obscure and meaningless to those outside it.
So we get a sort of race to provide critics with something they haven't seen before and frame it as a bold exploration. Which to the outside appears little more than a race in to meaninglessness.

Hijacking this point with no survivors.
I recall way back in elementary school, I tried applying for "Advanced art classes." I was told by all my classmates I was the best artist in the class and they all went "Wow cool!" When walking by me while I worked. So I tried applying and got told off because of two reasons.
1. My grades weren't good enough.
2. My family couldn't afford it.
Point 1? Arguably legitimate. Maybe I would have even bothered fucking improving my other subjects if not for the fact that point 2 basically said "No matter what you're not getting in here."
It's from this point early on you learn that people don't actually give a shit about art or artists.
Then in highschool I tried applying for drawing classes and oh, what do you know, immediately all full. Didn't get a single in. Why? Because art classes are dumb fuck easy and don't actually judge your skills to get in.
The worst part is Universities.
Recently I scoured as much as possible through the internet to find talent based scholarships.
Guess what. Not a single one. No where. In all these prestigious circlejerks not a single one said "We invite you to come in and practice with us if you're good enough." Why? Because they want money. These people probably know too many people would be applying for such a thing if given the chance. So at the end of the day not only is technical art skill sparse, it costs a fucking fortune.
And that's why art is dead. No one really gives a shit about you or your ambitions. They just want money, and if they can buy some low effort duct tape with shit spread across it by a chimp to evade taxes they will, actual skill and ambition be damned.

my university gave me a scholarship once I got accepted. Not quite a full ride, but close.

On the point of scholarships, at least in my area, a lot of art schools have their own private scholarship system where they'll have an art contest and winner gets a full ride or substantial scholarship for their tuition. Just putting that out there. A lot of real art schools aren't accredited, they're trade schools or ateliers (if they were accredited they would have to offer math/science/history classes etc and work off of a credit system and actually grade you. The good schools give out certifications). So it makes sense that they wouldn't really have any scholarship funds you could find by searching around for it. Instead you should ask the school if they have a something like a scholarship or something. Usually they do.

There are really good online services that are cheap compared to art schools now. I think becoming a good artist is easier than ever actually, think of all the potential michelangelos of the past who just didn't make it because they had to work on a farm all their lives

It's ironic that in the case of modern art, it meant artist creating pieces that only a minority think are good.

not sure if it is ironic; modern art seems to be a pretty self-indulgent thing. They are probably proud of that.

Here's the thing. No one is expected to give a shit about your ambitions. That's not their job, that's your job. Universities don't actually have to help you become an artist (most don't have the money allocated for this) , they just facilitate your own efforts. Think of every other major that isn't art. You get books, a lecture, and a test. That is all they are expected to do. You are an expendable piece of human meat that is meant to find a grinding wheel until one is dropped upon you, and you will work it until you die, in which case you will be replaced as quickly as possible and without just ceremony. The world economy runs on the blood and sweat of humanity and it runs lean. We as a species regard empathy and sympathy as a luxury. Such is the human condition.

The term "starving artist" was literal. It will continue to be literal but the only true barrier to high level art is time.

that used to be true but now any rando can pick up a ballpoint pen and learn to draw like da vinci in a decade or so. That's why modern art is popular - the value of artistic proficiency has degraded as the field became more accessible.

When everyone around you is drawing beautifully rendered scenes, doing something different suddenly becomes much more interesting.

More people are doing art, so obviously there's a huge number of mediocre/bad artists at the bottom. The quality/skill level of professional artists is so much higher than a few hundred years ago, and there are a lot more excellent artists nowadays to boot. Some random person on deviantart did this with ballpoint pens, and it's not hard to find other people with similar ability.

Get a normal job then. You should still get your gains. You don't actually need art school. Trust me, I went to one. Just learn your fundies and read a bunch of art history. I assure you that the only factor in making a good artist is work ethic. None of my peers had it and none of them are professional artists, especially the rich ones. You are actually advantaged in being poor, as you will know what hard work is. Get hungry and grind.
