If they are "indistinguishable" from those book covers, I strongly suggest visiting an optometrist. You may not enjoy modern art, and that's fine - but most of it runs circles around modern book covers. The latter are optimized to grab attention, without any artistic merit. They're the equivalent of shouting loudly. Modern art may be the equivalent of speaking in esperanto or lojban to you, but at least it's still trying to say something. | ||

No, luminism and romanticism are the equivalent of esperanto or lojban. Modern art is pre-verbal vocalizations, after it had deconstructed language because having syntax and pronunciation are unoriginal and "academic", and fooled itself that higher language is no longer worth exploring. What is it trying to say - how severely language can be mutilated while still sparking some semblance of an idea in a sufficiently imaginative listener? Glorified Rorschach blots. I'll let MoMA make my case for me: https://www.moma.org/collection/works/79892 https://www.moma.org/collection/works/101471 https://www.moma.org/collection/works/81527 https://www.moma.org/collection/works/35054 https://www.moma.org/collection/works/79816 https://www.moma.org/collection/works/35548 https://www.moma.org/collection/works/80712 | ||
