So by your sorry logic, anyone who likes art that YOU DON'T LIKE is a first class phony? Who are you to judge the sincerity of other people's tastes?

[Paul Atreides]

I didn't bring my personal opinions into it. There are just some constants in life. One example is that Yoko Ono is no singer. Getting up and screeching is not equal to singing. By that virtue, a bunch of slash marks on a canvas aren't art. If that is what you like, more power to you, but I don't want to hear from any modernists, and being an artist myself, I have heard what a lot of them have had to say, looking down their pretentious noses at the works spoken of in this article. I have taken a course in modern art, and it has one major philosophy: an utter contempt for the art of the past.
