I mean I thought it was an open secret that Modern Art was in essence money laundering.
And that many ‘Artists’ are gullible morons who get taken advantage of and convinced they have talent. Even though they aren’t really talented and their inane scribbles are not in fact the next big art style.
Frankly you can find better Artists on DeviantArt then you do in a modern art exhibition.
To be fair to crazy Artists though. Some of the people we regard as Masters now. Weren’t exactly what one would call mentally stable when they were alive. Vincent Van Gogh being a prime example.
Well, not all of it of course....
A painter colleague of mine summed up being an artist in a very refreshing way. Instead of being pretentious, understand that our role is largely to put the right attractive colors of the correct value, in the right place, on a canvas. That can apply to traditional themes or more modern ones. If discordant aggitating marks and color choices are put in art and soothe no one, the collectors of it are not seeking harmony and neither are the artists. Art collectors who buy disturbing themes are themselves mentally unhealthy... what they have on their walls reveals who they are. Think Podesta, for one.

You are spot on fren.
I have found literal MASTERPIECES on both FURRY and ANIME imageboards of all places, and yet THIS SHIT is what gets put in galleries?
They might as well put actual porn in there...OH WAIT, THEY ALREAY DID
not just money laundering, but human trafficking as well.
