The good artists are few and far between because society as a whole rewards the ugly art through the museum and grant system. “Artists” take a urinal and sign their name to it or they just take house paint and splash it on a canvas and they are awarded millions of dollars from the art establishment but a real artist who hones his craft to renaissance level skill struggles to find a buyer because the wealthy are told that the ugly art is actually the good art because it’s somehow meaningful. In my opinion, if you have to read an essay to understand why a piece of crap spray painted pink is good art then the “art” has failed as a piece of visual art. It should be understood simply by looking at it. That doesn’t mean that there can’t be a deeper meaning behind it but the visual aspect should be first and foremost.

It’s so predictable. 🤣

That is skill !!! 😮

The only problem is the bird is a vulture feasting on the blood of children, not a majestic bald eagle like it’s supposed to be.

I’m disappointed. I was scrolling too fast and thought I saw a pickup truck so I scrolled back and see a washing machine. 😢
