First of all, there truly is something to be said for understanding craftsmanship, painterly brush strokes, a mastery of value, composition, edges, perspective, etc.
I’m sure you are not trying to refute this.
At the same time, I totally understand, and do even agree, more than you could know, with the sentiment of disgust for pretentious snobbery attending much fine art talk.
Here is something I am not sure you are aware of.......
The thing you despise is most abundantly found in modern art, not representational painting and sculpture, abstract expressionist art, and the horrible installation type shit that opens the door to performance art.
From Cezanne to Picasso to what we see today started, something happened in the art world
All external, empirical metrics to judge art went out the door.
Now I love Cezanne and Picasso, I even like early pollock, but they at least painted about life.
Modern art which has degenerated into process art, is not really about life.
Today’s art is about art.
It’s a big circlejerk masquerading as intellectual exploration.
Now you may already know that, but what you might not know, or understand the influence of, is the fact that your brain has grown up online.
It’s all you know.
You, in fact, may be just as deceived as the multimillion dollar widow that spent a million dollars on a fucking canvas painted pure white because she went along and sought identity in being cultured enough to understand how it was art.
You’ve been conditioned by the images on the internet and video games to be moved emotionally by a bright backlit screen producing vivid colors constructing recognizable figures and landscapes.
That is how your tastes have developed.
By video games.
And cartoons.
Listen, digital art is the commercial break in the art world.
Catchy image, little jingle, then it’s over.
