It's terrible. Non-representational. It's degenerate. My German Shepard could paint better than that crap put out by drunks, communists, perverts and other degenerate trash.

Art should look like things. Like this:



Now that's good art.

5. Except, how often does a piece of art advocate murder, burglary, arson, rape, et cetera?
That's the difference being overlooked. Regardless of genre.

I doubt that blobby bright blue thing at the museum was hiding its placard reading "Kill that ****h" until after-hours...

11. What is art?
In order correctly to define art, it is necessary, first of all, to cease to consider it as a means to pleasure and to consider it as one of the conditions of human life. Viewing it in this way we cannot fail to observe that art is one of the means of intercourse between man.

12. I am not a lover of the art produced in the last, say, seventy years,
with few exceptions. Still I'll call it art because you just did. :P
