Haha I think modern American art might convey that we're a little bit psychotic. Look at things that are now accepted as art...for example the wall of hubcaps at the museum of art in Denver, and I remember last time we went to the museum of art there was a cow head preserved in formaldehyde how is that art? Personally I think it's a little bit creepy. However, Graffiti, which I consider to be wayyyy more artistic is excluded and considered offensive? It's crazy! My personal opinion is that few 'real' artists exist in this century. Somehow society has allowed proper proportioning, perspective, light, shadow, and colouring to be ignored. Basically in modern art anything goes. For example there's two different canvases done in the musem of art in Denver: one is completely white and the other is a heavy layer of white paint flecking a dark blue background. Where is the creative thought and artistic talent in this canvas I would like to know?
