from what I've seen - because older art was so good and modern art is about expressing "feelings and not so not pleasing the eyes?

I'm no art scholar at all but I did done my fair share of sketching and some painting when I was younger and enjoy what is pleasing to the eye:

I don't know much about art myself, but I like stuff that looks like sumpin'.
