I never liked modern art..
I know there are some deep shit behind some of those but really, that's just an idea expressed in
a sort of enigmatic way.
While in classic art there is the talent and the dedication of the author splattered in front of
you.

You see the same thing in literature, especially modern poetry: obscurity to give the illusion of
meaning; vulgarity as a substitute for wit.

There's some decent modern art out there with a lot of thought put into it, this video just
cherry-picked some of the shit..of which there is also a lot. The thing with it is talentless
hacks flood the scene trying to get a piece of it all, using minimal effort and producing
(sometimes literal) shit that is utterly pretentious and then hiding behind "it's all subjective
man it has deep meaning and stuff" when the quality is criticized.

I agree that classical art was generally more technically inclined, but there's literally no good
reason to slam modern art for being 2enigmatic4u or getting upset because certain pieces are
"offensive". On top of that, the entire clip only ever cites classical western art, as if the
only classical art in the entire world was European and there aren't elements of classical art
from various other cultures that are commonly present in modern art.
Funnily enough, in trying to present an educated viewpoint, Roger just created more fodder for
the ignorant people who neither understand nor truly wish to ever understand modern or classical
art, but relish the mere feeling that they do.

Good goys.
Anyway, the guy makes a couple of good points. There is a lot of trash in modern art that gets by
just out of novelty and standards of production have gone down the drain for the most part. But:
He appears to reduce modern art to dadaism and offshoots, which is an extremely criticized
movement within the art community anyway.
Anybody with any kind of art or design background could tell his dirty apron is a dirty apron.
Its composition is unexistant.
He fails to explain the main reason classical movements went out of style (photography) and
simply blames it on 19th century rebels.

modern art is the art of the time it reflects whats happening at that very moment various arts
would not have been labeled if it wasn't done at a specific time and look the same thing happened
to music from harmony came a long period of dissonant music but from that dissonant style you
have most of modern music you're american, jazz, and various other were born from mastering
dissonant sound hell you wouldnt even pieces like peirrot lunaire without it. and trust me when
the first artist used dissonant sound it sounded like shit before it had a chance to get refined

This guy is 5000% retarded. Shitty art has always, always existed, and will continue to always
exist. The best of the best is what is remembered. So too, among the piles of shit around us
today, are gems in every field of art. Just fucking wait, and those gems' ability to stand the
test of time will survive as modern greats.

The reason why, as this guy would say, "untalented and/or vulgar" art has skyrocketed, is because
of the spread of information and means to bring individual works to the global stage.
Back when art was "better", all the artistic outlets were much more tight. Be it because of
quality control or just about the lack of artists/viewers in general.
Now we live in the age of radio, television and, most importantly, internet. Every individual
with any artistic skill (be it objective or subjective) can bring out their works for all to see.

>That graph
Fucking what?
This whole thing complains about subjective value but has no objective backing for a lot of the
stuff it claims.
I mean, I understand what this guy says, and I can agree with some of it, but I think his
generalizations mixed with cherry picked examples and little actual hard facts undermines the
whole thing.

This guy is visibly frustrated.
I think it's because he possibly trained to do some super great art but then became a teacher
since piss and shit sold better.
In fact, I think quite many "classically oriented" artists are extremely butthurt about modern
art.
Best example of this kind of artistic anger is none other than Adolf Hitler himself.

Art is measured by exertion of the artist?
Here is a rule of thumb: If it looks good, it is good.

Well the thing is a lot of modern art is shit, and it should rightfully be called shit.
Instead people defend it because people like defending shit and feeling good about themselves.

The man in the video was condemning modern art as awful in its entirety. Which is no different

I've watched it 3 times prior to this thread.
The guy is an elitist, and claims contemporary art is trash (contemporary is not the same as
modern).
Have a look.
