Hi, @christower! Thank you for your comment. Here's my humble reply:

That being said, I can't let you get away with it, lol. I'm going to ask you a few questions:

• Which works of art aren't prosaic to you? Give me some examples so I can compare them to contemporary art the way you're seeing it! Some examples of "prosaic message art" will be useful too.
• Why is art being accessible a bad thing?
• What is art to you?

I agree, the conceptual part of the piece is very important. But I don't think there should be a limited list of subjects art can speak about. I think meaning and complexity can be found in everydayness (that's what philosophy is all about, in my opinion). And this isn't contradictory with art expressing deep ideas that are hard to put in words, because they reach every aspect of our lives and are, sometimes, recognizable in the most simple things. Like the idea of beauty in a simple flower.

I think that the fact that we're more connected than ever thanks to technology and globalization, and it seems we're surrounded by artists and aspiring artists... It's not effortless though. It never is. Unless of course your mom is a famous gallerist and sells anything you make or something like that.

Your results on the test are actually pretty good, haha. Half of the questions right? C'mon! I saw you read the second chapter, thanks! I'm glad your willing to continue on this journey with me, I hope I can change at least some of those bad opinions. Don't get me wrong tho, I'm not saying I like every work of contemporary art I see, I often think they're just not enough too. But I respect them based on my dislike being just an opinion, which is ok, but not everyone is going to share it and doesn't have to.
