I don’t get modern art. I dont understand how we went from beautiful paintings to a yellow pentagon with a black line through it being considered art.
This is from Burghley House near where I live. And it’s obviously taken a lot of thought, skill and talent to create.
This is from an art gallery I took my wife to yesterday. And as far as I can tell, it’s complete crap. If my kids handed this to me as their art homework I’d be having words with them.
Obviously I kept my mouth shut as the museum guides seemed to know exactly what I was thinking. And this was about my wife after all, it’s not about me. Happily over drinks later it turned out she thought the same but enjoyed watching me hum thoughtfully at each piece while failing to hide my utter contempt for what I was seeing.

It's all about how you feel about it. If you like it, it's good. If you don't, it's bad. There are other ways to experience things than with your brain. Look at it with your feelings, with your heart. That one doesn't do much for me either but I'll probably never care so it's gone.
