    It’s also bullshit, we still have “realistic” art, but we let people express themselves however they want nowadays. Whether that is by painting the beauty of human life or trying to capture feelings in geometric shapes is up to the artist. That’s a good thing. We don’t need to put down art we don’t vibe with, and nobody is forcing people to enjoy or relate to “modern” art.

    (Also I just want to shake every person who says “tHiS Is nOt ArT” about some piece they don’t like because oh my god art is whatever you want it to be and doesn’t follow some set of rules)

      I think there has to be some basic rules to art, it cant literally be anything and everything, otherwise it’s nothing. Like it has to involve inspiration in some way.

      Work is not art.

      I think there actually is some merit in debating what is art, but we can start by clarifying anything where someone created something with the intent of expressing themselves is definitively art.
