Fantasy art requires skill and perspective. It's too difficult. It's easier to daub and slop paint around. Then get some shyster art gallery owner and some crooked art critics to extoll the virtues of crap. Make millions selling shyt like this to suckers:

That POS went for something like $30,000,000.

Modern art is a matter of taste, some acquired, some innate.

I really like modern art but I understand when other folks don't get it.

People high in what Jordan Peterson calls "trait openness" tend to like modern art. Folks low in "trait openness" don't.

Re: Art that went for $30M in Post 5.

No one talks about two huge scams involved with such "art". One is money laundering.

The other is buying a painting, loaning it to a museum and writing of the value of the "loan" on your income taxes as a charitable "donation". Over time the taxpayers have in effect paid for your painting.

Looks like a self-portrait done by a robotic Andy Warhol.

That’s pretty cool. I don’t know if I’d pop 30,000,000 on it. But then I don’t live in that stratosphere. I’d definitely drop 50 bucks on it.

Modern art is a money laundering scheme.

There’s no other explanation for why a painting like that would go for $30 million.

That artist has been dead for decades. Hollyweirdos bought up his works long ago and it is they who make bank when one sells for $30,000,000
