The modern art movement has done NOTHING to give beauty to life.
Seems like all those guys did was see how far they could push obscenity under the guise of art.
That was their goal.
I always remember how in the "Great Leap Forward" one of the things the CCP did was make it a crime to have a goldfish.
Because it was something that was just beautiful for it's own sake and great Mao knows we could not have something like that around.
When you look at architecture in America before the 1930s you see a great deal of beauty for it's own sake.
Even after you see people, even poor people, encouraged to make things nice for themselves. From making flour sacks in pretty prints because they knew the poor used them to make clothing to colorful designs on linoleum and full color illustrations suitable for putting up in your house in magazines there were bits of beauty widely available to people who did not have much money.
That started ending in the 1960s when the Anti-Beauty people took control.
