No.

I’ve seen nothing (recently, since, say, the 1914-1920 era) that I would buy.

And, frankly, I do think my taste is better than that of highly “trained” art critics who praise what an elephant paints with a brush and canvas as “art”....

And yes, while I agree that a Picasso might be expensive, I wouldn’t want any of his stuff in my living room either. Modern designs? FL Wright’s designs are generally just plain and most are not ugly, but unattractive.

Robt., I’ve seen the occasional abstract piece with some aesthetic oomph, but most modern art I find infantile. As for music, I don’t go to concerts anymore, but what I’ve heard on the radio of neoromanticism (or neotonality if you prefer) has had too much minimalism in it for me. Given a choice betwen minimalism and country music, I’d kill myself.
