Modern art vs toddler art

Modern art vs toddler art

12/20 here...

Modern art is shit.

I'm convinced that those labeled as "modern art" were created by artists when they were toddlers.

13/20...Some of the toddler work looked better...

While I'm not always in agreement with your artistic judgement, (film, television, music) I'm in lock-step with you on that one....

The people who shell out big bucks for that crap are the biggest suckers on the planet... :shrug

I didn't bother totaling. Though I was surprised that 3 was done by a toddler.

I have to say not all "modern art" is bad but it is a label under a lot of crap is hidden.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

I got about half right...usually if I was wrong it's because I said "toddler" and it wasn't...

17/20 here. Although it is rather unfair to show only a detail of a piece rather than the whole thing.

I happen to like modern art, particularly abstract expressionism. Always have. I've got no training or education or sophistication about it; it just appeals to me on a visceral level. As a kid I'd go visit my older brother in NYC just so I could spend the day at MOMA.
GAH!

I think I saw this chap down at the robot on Zastron and 2nd Avenue yesterday. Usually he sells sunglasses and car-phone chargers rather than angels, fish and nude women.

That could be a photo, that could :nana

I got 15/20, and I like some abstract modern art, although the dark cubist-type works are not my favorite.

That surprised me too; it looked more thematically organized then most of them...

I was also surprised that this:

Was actually done by an adult...

We've got much better than that on our refrigerator...
