I like it as a companion to traditional art, not a replacement for it. Variety is the spice of life and all that jazz

Imagine being so autistic that you literally need to create a conspiracy theory to explain why people create art you dislike because you're unable to comprehend different people having different tastes

I don't think its that bad actually, usually there's at least some aesthetics to it, and likely its produced by people surrounded by art every day of their life.

Amazing artists are a dime a dozen these days. Its impressive still, sure, but nobody looks at amazingly painted woman on a beach and think about how amazing and skillful it is anymore. Its a good painting... but they've seen 500 more of them just as good. And its just a matter of where we go from there, modern art is its own attempt at finding a new identity in a world over saturated with amazing art.

Well, it's certainly modern.

The "anti-art" of the Dada-ists through the con-men of Warhol's factory do not interest me, but the more modern, ironic, but still technically sound and polished work of some more recent artists is cool.

A bit of that. But for me there is more to it.

I like most of modernism, I think it was peak creativity and much needed for art. It started to die towards the end with Pop art which I strongly despise.
Then we have contemporary art, post-modern stuff and the vast majority of it is bad but some exeptions exist.
The main difference between contemporary and modernism is that nowadays contemporary only concerns itself with the intention and message and everything else is secondary to the art.
Which is why performance art and other stuff like tempon smearing on a canvas makes it into the spotlight somehow.
But for most of modernism even the most expressionist artists knew their fundies and could make solid idealistic or realistic art if they so desired. Take a look at pollock's sketchbooks and you'll see good figure drawings. I would say for most of modernism whilst it's often about intention, at least their work can exist independently from their intention and still be powerfull.
Most contemporary art fails in that regard.

Even taking performance art, the Gutai Movement with kazuo shiraga for example, was mainly performance art. However the works they produced in my opinion during the performances held their ground indepedently of the performance
That is rarely the case with contemporary art. Now it's all about context intention yada yada. I dislike it. Fuck pop art and fuck contemporary art, for t he most part.

Where do they get their money from though? Some underground business? You still need money to launder.
