People who shit on modern art are so fucking annoying, it’s one thing to not enjoy abstract art but to constantly criticize it with “my 3 year old could do that!” shows a) you need all imagery spoonfed to you and b) your 3 year old is more in tune with their emotions than you are. It shows a complete lack of emotional vulnerability, which, itself is fine, but purposely not comprehending that the entire point of abstract art is to provoke emotions makes you, frankly, a dumbass

This goes for all abstract art too. Paintings, sculpture, music, film, whatever. It’s not hard to comprehend. Claiming to appreciate one medium and then shitting on a subset of it because you think it’s simple is pure dumbassery
