Cynical much?

Yeah, I think he makes too much money from paintings that are litterally painted by throwing paint at a damn canvas.

I was talking to all of you - there's tonnes of great art being made these days, but to hear you talk you'd think human expression peaked three hundred years ago. Why the cynicism? Celebrate the good stuff.

You're right there is a lot of good art being made but it's pieces that paint the whole canvas one color and sell them for millions of dollars that has given modern art a bad name...shit I could paint a canvas red and give a bullshit backstory to how I was in a deep anger at that time and have a chance if it being in a museum

I said that to a friend of mine once and he told me, "Maybe you could, but you didn't. You never even thought of it, or it might have been your name on that wall," and he was right. You're right too - the back stories to a lot of art, modern and otherwise, is a bunch of high-falutin' intellectual masturbation - but almost without exception, the people who do them are phenomenally talented, technical precision out the ass, and have proven their chops at more conventional art forms long before they did anything innovative.
