Why I Hate Modern Art

The chronology of Art history

Art history dating back to the cave Paintings of 15,000 BC.

The nature of the paintings changed little until about 1450 AD, when the Renaissance educated about naturalistic styles and formal rules composition, perspective (Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, etc.).

After the Renaissance, the emergence of new styles every 50 to 100 years, but nothing changed significantly (for example, the rules of perspective have been implemented yet.)

In 1874, impressionism was born (Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, etc.). The term was originally used to make fun of Claude Monet's painting "Impression: Sunrise", but was adopted by artists to describe their style work. Most people are familiar with impressionism, so I will waste no words to describe the style, and move on.

In the late 1800s, generated Impressionism Post-Impressionism (Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, etc..) While impressionism had remained true to nature Post-Impressionism favored brilliant natural colors.

Then we had the abstraction, where artists (Modigliani, Picasso, etc) changed the appearance of your content so that it no longer seemed realistic, moving the point of view, exaggeration, simplification, etc.

At the risk of simplifying things about myself – Fauvism, Cubism, Futurism, Dadaism and all quickly followed, and there were variations in abstraction. It Dada artists who want to write.

In 1916, the Dada movement was formed in the midst of despair and disgust arising from the horrors of the Second War of Art Dada was deliberately anti-aesthetic, and tried to reject all rules and conventions. Because many artists believe that your work is anti-art, and have the purpose of angering your audience.

The single most influential Dada artist Marcel Duchamp was no doubt.

Conceptual art comes from the Source "

As a child, Duchamp sought to become an artist, and took classes in academic drawing. He worked in the styles of the period (Post Impressionism, Cubism, etc), but could not gain recognition until 1917, when his famous 'Source' has changed the face of art.

"Source" was a urinal signed. Duchamp claimed to be a work of art he had created, because, he chose him, gave him a name, put it in a different context, and developed a new thinking for that purpose.

In December 2004, Duchamp's Fountain was voted the most influential artwork of the 20th century by 500 selected British professional world art. The Independent said in an article in February 2008 that this single work, Duchamp invented conceptual art and "forever broken the traditional link between art and merit. "

Each person has to draw their own conclusions, but these are mine

Duchamp took "p" (potty!).

He was an anarchist art and its purpose was to damage the art establishment. Unfortunately, the art establishment evolved to embrace his mischief, and allowed to achieve their goal Duchamp.

Perhaps this was because Duchamp presented an opportunity for similar unskilled to enter a world previously closed to them? Whatever it is, more than 90 years later, our art galleries, art awards, and coverage of the media are full of "sources", and the goal of today's most notorious "artists" appears as enraging their audiences. Modern art has become a very tired joke.

Reasoning that anything can be art is no different from saying that everything is everything. History has been rewritten, even, and paintings rock, purchased from a new conceptual twist: they were decorated, but a primitive form of communication.

Critics of modern art are often shot down. When expressed our opinion usually patronize us like I said no because I do not understand. I understand … I really do not!

The point I am trying to to make is that conceptual art is a very small point of view and polarized. It does not render all other valid points of view.

Is not it time for a change soon?
