Crappy artists have always existed, but they could only make a living if they could convince someone to pay them for their crap. In the old days, people could only spend their own money, so they didn't waste it on crappy artists. Modern art is funded by government spending other people's money.

Excellent point!
Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.
Happily Trapped In the Past (Thanks, Joe)
Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.
its a bunch of fuggen weirdos who are told all the time how special they are and how great their fuggen schit is by other fuggen weirdos and nobody is telling them that their "art" is total schit. nobody outside of that group of weirdos cares about that crap unless they have a ton of money and are peer pressured into buying it to keep up with their weirdo friends. all total crap.
Before the camera, the highest standard of art was what we now call photo realistic, but when that can be captured so easily by a camera, artists had to come up with other notions such as impressionism, abstraction, minimalism, and cubism that circumvent the camera.
Some of the revered old masters would have likely killed and traded their brushes to get their hands on the latest ED aspherical fluorite multi-point auto focus - digital Canon or Nikon.....and a Pro- PHOTOSHOP type program....
They may have even had appreciation for modern like this:
