>> [_] Anon 2521582 yup
>> [_] Anon 2521602 art is subjective
>> [_] Anon 2521604 >># It's true. I took AP Art History last year in Junior year, and I can fullheartedly agree that modern art is fucking shit
>> [_] Anon 2521610 That fucker is making some sweeping statements.
>> [_] Anon 2521616 >># >the new >the different >the UGLY Stopped watching there. there.
>> [_] Anon 2521621 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.
>> [_] Anon 2521622 Modern art is literally a shit statement.
>> [_] Anon 2521624 >># Whoever made this was a butthurt autist. >Hurr I don't like or understand it and/or find the subject matter offensive, so it's shitty
>> [_] Anon 2521626 Obviously the Jews did this.
>> [_] Anon 2521628 You see the same thing in literature, especially modern poetry: obscurity to give the illusion of meaning; vulgarity as a substitute for wit.
>> [_] Anon 2521629 >># >talentless "artist" detected
>> [_] Anon 2521631 >># mad you don't want to put in more effort then literially shitting in a bowl?
>> [_] Anon 2521635 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.
>> [_] Anon 2521636 well, beauty IS in the eye of the beholder. everyone is entitled to their own opinion, it's free speech and people are just going to have to suck it up if they get butthurt about who likes what or not.
>> [_] Anon 2521639 >># 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.
>> [_] Anon 2521640 >prager university 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.
>> [_] Anon 2521643 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
>> [_] Anon 2521665 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.

>> [_] Anon 2521670 >the girl with the pearl earring wow faget, if you're going to talk about art you should at least look up the painting's name
>> [_] Anon 2521672 If I could post images on /f/ I'd post the one of the guy on /k/ having his sculpture placed next to a shitty crude fellatio sculpture at an art exhibit
>> [_] Anon 2521675 >># are you retarded? that is the actual fucking name of the painting
>> [_] Anon 2521676 >># you tried
>> [_] Anon 2521683 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.
>> [_] Anon 2521696 >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.
>> [_] Anon 2521698 >># I love how he dances arround how pleb tier people is ruining his art without trying to call out the pleb tier people because everyone would stop listening. >>I can hear your butthurt on 4chan, you may need to see a doctor.
>> [_] Anon 2521704 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.
>> [_] Fuckbitchesgetwaffles 2521706 >># Was he not taking the daily dose?
>> [_] Anon 2521710 >># >an idea expressed in a sort of enigmatic way A good definition of art. >in classic art there is the talent and the dedication of the author splattered in front of you. Art is measured by exertion of the artist? Here is a rule of thumb: If it looks good, it is good. Try not to be an asshole next time.
>> [_] Anon 2521712 >># 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.
>> [_] Anon 2521713 It's hilarious because modern art is the one with literally a gallery of close-up assholes. Not figurative. Just zoomed in pictures of anuses.

>> [_] ButthurtArtist !0OcwKW7j.c 2521719 I have not once invaded Poland over my art not being accepted... Although I did once occupy a French cafe for almost a week...
>> [_] Anon 2521721 >># The man in the video was condemning modern art as awful in its entirety. Which is no different from a group of Christians condemning Rock N' Roll as a satanist music.
>> [_] Anon 2521723 >># watch again, he said the origins of modern art started out quite good

>> [_] Anon 2521729 >># 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. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stephen-kn udsen/top-ten-contemporary-art-_b_4521903 .html

>> [_] Anon 2521745 >># Almost all that art looks like complete shit and wouldn't even be accepted in a high school class
>> [_] Anon 2521749 Guys, you DO know that the 'decline' in art is partly due to the invention and proliferation of the camera, right?
>> [_] Anon 2521751 >># Who said it had to be?
>> [_] Anon 2521760 >># It's actually due to the jews, no joke.
