Art you like and art you don't like.

Art you think is a scam and was too easy and made too quickly. "My kid could do that" They're really just thumbing their noses at everyone and telling everyone they're stupid. It's ugly. I don't get it. I don't understand it. What is it? Modern art is crap. Abstract art is shit. Who do artists think they are anyway? Why don't they get a real job and get off the dole? My taxes paid for that? Artists are commies. Artists want anarchy and no rule of law. Art has to tell a story. Art has to uplift the people. Art has to take years and years to make. Artists have loose morals. Artists are drug addicts. Artists are amoral. Artists don't believe in god. Artists are irresponsible. You can't be an abstract artist unless you are a master draftsman first. You have to study for many many years before you can be an artist. Artists are pacifists and draft dodgers. Why should we pay for art? artists think they are better and smarter than everyone else. Art should support the state and the party, all other art is degenerate. Art is sinful.

Everyone loves to pile it on artists. Especially abstract art.

The ramblings above are a few of the things i've heard and read in the last 50 plus years.

This is not specifically about anyone in particular or about the painting posted. It takes courage and commitment to be an artist. Just to even call yourself that sets up a polarization with all "non artists". Think about it. If you don't show people elaborate detailed old master style drawings or photographic style painting they think you are a fraud. Steemit itself demands "blogging" with all images. Blogging? Writing? Explanation, demonstration. Images are not allowed to stand on their own

This topic is huge and i have gone off on a rant and all over the place. There is much to be said and it's been said by countless far more educated and talented writers than myself. I'm not a writer at all and much prefer image making. But here we are in the Blogosphere.
