Just remember, in artspeak, "ugly" is now "challenging", "evil" is now "provocative", and "obscene" is now "edgy". The art elite want to undermine any notion of beauty or idealism among the mainstream and convince us that we simply have to accept their notions of what art is. The next step is to make art a tool of indoctrination and propaganda.
I was always a big fan of the Dada movement. But strictly for it's sillyness! I also was crazy about DEVO, for pretty much the same reason. So many contemporary artists are just totally anti-social fools. Here in Cleveland we had (was it Oldenberg's?) Free Stamp foisted upon us. What cr@p! And don't get me started on so-called "performance artists!
They're doing that already. I gave up on "modern art" around 1967, when I went to a gallery and saw piles of what looked exactly like dogs**t made of white vinyl or plastic scattered about the floor.
That was the end.
