you know
there was still stuffty art in the 18th century
I've seen modern art in person that people deemed "silly" and "simple" that blew me away. it's unfair how people generalize all modern art
I don't mean to generalize all modern art, and there has always been stuffty art
It's just that a greater deal of modern art now-a-days happens to be some of the stupidest things there are, like if you can pull off splattering paint against a canvas and make it look good and have meaning and actually, yknow, be 'art'. then good for you, but I'm talking about the people who do stupid stuff (example being squeezing eggs full of paint out of their vagina over a canvas in a public space) and then call it "art"
There is definitely good modern art out there, infact some of the best art has been made as of recent. But that doesn't mean the majority is full of people trying to make a quick buck with their "stuff thrown at the wall" painting.
Again, though, this is all of course, my own opinion, my opinion of which some may deem as stupid as the art I insult. Feel free to think what you'd like about art, since that's the thing with art. It's all subjective. In the eye of the beholder is completely true, even if it's used now-a-days as an excuse for "aborted babies in cowboy clothes".
I don't mean to offend and I'm sorry if it came off like that <3
