Doesn't it drive you completely apeshitting bonkers?
I mean, some of it's pretty good, I like some of the more alternative and abstract styles - but for god's sake!!
You can't put a plastic cup on a stand and call it art. -_- That's the kind I'm on about here before anyone calls me out on it.
Right, I went to the Fitzwilliam Art Museum in Cambridge the other day and was, prior to discovering this section, all of a flutter from being 2 feet away from 3 Picasso paintings ;D, but then on finding the modern art sector suddenly felt that the world had, finally, gone completely off its rocker. I mean, someone had painted three lines on a canvas!! Some eejit with a ruler could have done that! Another one looked like a retarded dartboard and just generally ARGH! They were just solid block colour or the result of someone hurling paint quite unceramoniously at a piece of old canvas...
Where's the talent in that?!
Some of the sculpture was pretty good, but I suppose some actual effort had gone into creating it...
Pah.
Well, that's my rant (temporarily) over.
Anyone want to agree or argue?
