Date: February 7th, 2012 3:04 PM Author: brindle embarrassed to the bone area wrinkle Anyone can throw paint on a canvas. A five year old could do that, yet he is revered as one of the greatest artists of all time. Why? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1867840&forum_id=2:#19916184) |

Academics took over the artworld making ideas more important than the art itself. It became tired and old and very out of date to paint something that is aesthetically pleasing (or, gasp, realistic)...art became more about theory and the idea behind the work than the art itself |

it's art that had inevitably to be done by someone, but it's not very good. Pollock also seemed retarded . |

Abstract expressionism helped break things open in art, but people don't really make that much out of it anymore beyond its historical importance. Meanwhile there are all kinds of awesomely awesome contemporary painters doing all kinds of cool stuff that really has nothing to do with splattering paint or shitting on canvass or whatever example conservatards use as angry jerkoff material.
