Why is modern art so shit?

>> No.11298835

>>11298827
Because society watered down to the point of not offending anyone where the slightest critique of an artwork would cause utter butthurt.

What do you mean by shit?

>> No.11298844

Because art as in painting is dead. Dead as in not nearly as important to culture as it was hundreds of years ago.

It isn’t . There are artists like pic related that made captivating, realistic paintings throughout the modernist era, and there were also great creative types that stretched the medium. Some modern stuff is shit, but how many old boring, pointless old still lives of apples and grapes made for stuffy aristocrats do you see?

to be fair Andy Warhol intentionally trolled art critics by putting out intentionally bad works of art (such as a six hour film of someone sleeping) and made the critics suck his dick for it, which was the whole point of the art

If there is a man who can come out of modernity and produce a great work of art, he will be a man indeed. A man who was able to somehow learn and cultivate himself amongst all the distractions and all the negative influences of the day.

It's no coincidence contemporary life has produced no great author.

Because you actually have to use your fucking brain when you interact with it, unlike sugar explosion Miley Cyrus, fat shit.

What do you think of books that use the prettiest words with no point to them whatsoever? What's so special about visual art?
