Needing a clean slate, I have taken paintings and picks off my walls, I need a minimalist palette to create art. This is a modern living to create art, not modern art.
Grayson Perry says that most modern art is crap and I tend to agree with him. His argument is that there has always been crap art about, but as time goes by the bad art is discarded leaving only the good stuff. Therefore "old" art seems better than "new" art simply because it has been passed through the filter of time.
Modern art reflects our times - a complete and utterly meaningless transition of trends where pretentiousness fills the gap where awe, mystery and wonder should be.

Which came around the same time as this comment from Andy Warhol
'During the 1960s, I think, people forgot what emotions were supposed to be. And I don't think they've ever remembered'
Andy obviously anticipiated the autistic flavour and artistic deadness of our age, most probably because, in essence, he was these things.
CuddlingSoul: Stepping away from modern art for a moment... 'Girl with a pearl earring' By Johannes Vermeer. I'd take this chick over the Mona Lisa any day.

That is a stunning master piece of art. I have had it before my eyes and the feeling is just incredible.

as for my self I don't care much for modern art all though it dose look good in banks and office buildings I much prefer classical art such as ships mountains and people,,, but that's just me
Hey Conrad and dooby I've heard that the Mona Lisa was a self-portrait, I'm not too convinced about it though. Information online says, Vermeer painted the posted painting in 1665.
... Whatever floats your boat, if you like it, so be it. If you dislike it, so be it. Nobody should dictate what is pleasing or 'artistic' to another individual. I for one dislike 'modern art' however some pieces do get my attention ...
