Discussion Of Modern Art

jubilant · ‎06-10-2010

I have to admit, I have no love loss for modern art, modern furniture, etc. I have trouble seeing what people like about it. To me, it has to speak to me. I guess that means it has to have some sort of meaning for me to like it.

I may be wrong, but it seems I know more people who don't like it than do. If you like it...why? What do you see in it. If you don't, again...why?

I don't like most modern or contemporary art or decor, though there are exceptions. With art, the occasional geometry or colors of a piece will appeal to me. What I also have come to dislike are decorators who will fill an otherwise traditionally decorated room or home with modern or contemporary art and think they've done something special or innovative when really, they haven't.

I don't like this painting. But I see someone dreaming of Santa and the reindeer flying over their town on Christmas Eve.

You asked, I answered.

I won't limit this statement to only modern art. There is art I like and dislike in all categories.

@PickyPicky3 Well...I do see antlers......I think!! Ha! I guess I'm not a very imaginative person.

I don't care for this particular piece of art, especially the colors. There are some pieces of modern art I do like.

There are many categories of art that I don't like, not just modern art.

Not a fan of anything modern. That pic looks like moose antlers to me, although I'd prefer a picture of actual moose antlers to that.

Reindeer, snow, night. But to me I would classify it as commercial art, not modern art. It looks like the cover of a children's book. And a not great one at that.
