modern art

i read in a certain newsletter that shall remain nameless, that in germany there was a situation where some sanitation workers inadvertently threw away some "important" pieces of modern art. apparently, the garbage company had to hold a class to teach its employees how to tell the difference between modern art and trash. this was quite interesting, and not because i think all modern art is garbage, but some of it seems to be.

i understand that after photography became popular, "real" things needed not be captured on canvas, at least not exclusively, so artists' focus would not be the same. but then, some magazine (details or esquire, i think) published 4 pictures of a similar splatter painting by 4 different artists: (1) a modern artist (2) a toddler (3) elephant (4) monkey... all quite similar paintings. anyway, i think it's time to get schooled in the art medium which has thus eluded me. i'm thinking, afternoon audio tour at the museum of modern art. taking other suggestions, as well.

    I find that abso-freakin-lutely hilarious! I consider myself an art lover, and I enjoy adorning my walls with various art pieces that I consider to be beautiful and/or intriguing. And my taste for art is certainly not limited to the non-abstract. In fact, one of my favorite pieces is one that hangs near our kitchen and is more pattern than anything: its subtle color changes merely enhance the pattern. However, I spent too long in a modern art museum in London ever to be able to take modern art seriously. What is the definition of modern art, anyway? "A piece that requires explanation"? Hmm. I prefer stand-alone pieces, thank you; I certainly enjoy bringing my own ideas to a painting, but I don't want to have to know what an artist's particular woes were in order to appreciate his/her work.
