When I can go into a museum and take pictures of everything. Then go to modern art section and I cant....Im stunned....only because the only picture I wanted to take of the modern art was more so to prove to others I wasnt lying
It was literal yarn hanging from the ceiling...I was told to delete the image to protect the artists ideas or some shit.
Mean while. There is also canvas apon canvas (so many they started putting them on the FLOOR) of single colored pictures (if you could even call them pictures/paintings)

So i just walked threw art that people died for in order to finish. Entire murals of just really complicated pieces of work that took years to finish....to yarn on the ceiling. Modern art (on average) can go fuck itself.
 
I need this lamp.

I went to a modern (really what you've been describing as "post-modern" but they called it "modern") art museum a few weeks ago. After the end, I thought to myself "you know, maybe Chris-Chan's artwork isn't so bad."
 
Most people creating "modern art" are just hacks whose parents bought them expensive art degrees. They wank over the idea of their own genius and tell themselves they're a brilliant rainbow with a rich interior world when they're mostly just some flavor or other of that woman who sat naked behind glass knitting a sweater out of yarn that was shoved in her vagina or that guy who put goldfish in a blender with a PLEASE DO NOT TURN ON sign (guess what happened)

I visited MoMA while I was in NY a while back. It had an entire section devoted to vidya deemed artistically important like Portal - which was pretty cool - but most of the rest of it was just shit that looked like you could have dug it out of a landfill. There was an entire floor full of what looked like rotting clumps of wool and some tunnel-like wooden structures that someone had glued hundreds of little plastic knickknacks and tchotchkes to, various piles of papier-mache sculpted into crude 3ft+ mounds and painted with clashing colors and a bunch of half-assed sketches of buildings and shapeless forms that looked like a chronic alcoholic with early-stage Parkinsons had scribbled them out during heroin withdrawals. Most of the museum was just more of that.

I feel supremely confident in stating that almost anything labeled modern art is pretentious garbage designed to be sold to idiots with more money than taste and anyone who feeds into the delusions it isn't is just kidding themselves in an attempt to look smart.

Still, someone walks away with dough in the end.

I would watch the shit out of a documentary delving into the lives of the types of people rich and dumb enough to make these kind of decisions.

I'm sure that would be interest, rich people do dumb things all the time.
 
I think modern art, and post modern art, has a bad reputation due to over representation of people such as Pollock. It's useful to remember that there are branching movements within these movements, something like lyrical abstraction for instance, is modernist but it's also not a literal piece of shit and it's history is interesting as well , in fact it's not too dissimilar from futurism iirc (a movement spawned by post war idealism almost)

While I personally don't always like it, I understand the sentiment of "why draw something that everyone has already seen."
The idea that the only good art is neo-classical is just silly.
This piece is by Diane Victor and is made using smoke, don't tell me that's not cool
