I take offense to the statement of 'no great artisits in the past 100 years" i mean WARHOL!? ROSENQUIST?! POLLOCK?! PICASSO!? and like a bajillion others.
i really hate how i am in a constant battle as to why i like modern art. Why it is as important or meaningful as the works of our great 'masters'. and then there is the whole side of "oh you like modern art, you must be pretentious because you see things in a way normal people don't" that is bull. when you look at art you get what you get from it. some cry at a viewing of the mona lisa. while i want to see that painting in person just to say i have, i prefer duchamp's version. i would cry at seeing the Rothko chapel. It's color that does it for me. even though i really admire the craft of the renaissance . i just don't get that OMG feeling from things that are from before pos-impressionism.
you will be getting e-mails from me when i take art sincce 1945 for sure. and if you can you must sit in on a class. :)
Aw I knew I could count on you! :) Yeah, I've been reading a lot of critics bemoaning the state of art today. It's interesting to read about the other perspective, but It really makes me want to put on my red cape and crusade for modern art.
