‘Modern art is the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on the art world.’ ____________________________________________ Only if you support it. I went to MOMA and would never go back. Most of the floors had art that I could create and I'm not very creative, in the classical art sense. I can draw stick figures and I can't paint anything recognizable to save my life. Numbers and words are my thing and I'm a wizard in the kitchen. My environment is usually immaculate but I'm a complete failure in other forms of creativity. I'll never go back to MOMA because most of what they showcased was rubbish that even I could create, so what have they gained by presenting that garbage as "art"?

I have a simple criteria for what constitutes Art:

If I could do it, it ain’t art!

My mother was an art historian and some artistic skill herself, and growing up there were art books all over, that I would pore over, and was taken to many art museums. As a teenager, I went to a museum myself, with a lot of modern art. I saw a room with what appeared to be piles of dog doodoo, made of white plastic, all over the floor.

That was the end of “Modern art” for me.
