That’s the way I feel about most art that sells for a lot. Ugly. I love paintings by the Dutch masters, etc., but most modern art is pointless and ugly.

It’s so bad I often wonder if the whole thing is a practical joke, and that the art experts are conducting a social experiment to see how many people they can fool.

One of the line items in the plans for communist takeover was for art, especially public art, to be ugly and meaningless. Like most of the othe line items on that list, that one can safely be checked off as successfully implemented.

Read "The Decline of Art in Western Culture Parallels the Decline of Everything Else", December 14, 2023, by Vince Coyner for a good analysis of art.
