Last night someone asked me wither I like classical or modern art more...here's my answer. Modern Art. I can appreciate classical art. The small brush strokes, the numerous paint colors and the sacrifices that the artist made to create a work of art. Its not them that I have a problem with. It the art historians tell me what to think about the art. Art should be left up to your own interpretation. From your own life experiences and points of view, you can make your own conclusions on what the artist was thinking and what the piece mean in your life. I hate being told what to think. With classical art, there are all these preconceived notions of what the artist really meant when they used orange instead of pink for the flower. Art Historians...give me some room to breath. I love modern art. Its just there. You can make of it whatever you want. Its a blank canvas for the mind. Nobody is telling you want to think or how to interpret the piece. Its not everyone's cup of tea, but give it a try.
