Modern art is stupid. I don't hate all art. I just hate art that requires no talent. I used to date an artist who supposedly won "scholastic awards" for her work. Due to my tendency to insult and ridicule modern artists' work on first viewing, I refrained from asking to see her art projects. Then one day I was putting my stuff on the back seat of her car and I noticed a piece of broken wood that looked like someone had coated it in glaze. As I was putting my bag down, she says "Don't break my art project!"
Ridiculous. I looked at this thing. It was a piece of driftwood that went through a Krispy Kreme machine. How is this art? How is this talented? How did this take time? After we broke up, my friend told me another story of her great talents in art. She was waiting in class when she dropped by to pick up a piece of wood with a blue stripe on it. Apparently she had forgotten her "art project." The teacher, obviously confused by this untalented monstrosity of youthful egotism, asked the meaning of the blue striped piece of wood. She said, "Hope."
It scares me when artists are winning awards for projects that obviously took them 5 minutes. It's basically plagiarism considering that the majority of work on the project was done from whatever tree the wood came from.
