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...

Modern art is shit.

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...

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.

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.

You're just plain weird.

Almost as much as people who like to watch paint dry, aka cricket fans.

Well that explains it then

What do you think of this one?



(I bought it last week.)

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

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

I was surprised that 3 was done by a toddler.

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...
