>implying picasso wasn't infinitely better
When we got to picasso from the impressionists in Art History class I couldn't stomach it.

>Prof. sort of agrees as well, "but here's why we should appreciate it, the textbook and my own professor said that this painting...."

And that's when shit got shittier.

Here is a great power point presentation on the stupidity of art in the 20th century:
