Meaningless Art

>>2679444
There's many ways with which to judge artwork. 'How it makes you feel' is perfectly valid, and one I would personally consider rather important. I think it's a bit silly to throw away all the other ways of judging artwork in favor of just a single component, but people are free to do as they wish.

My prefered question would be
>How does this make sense in the context of the artist

Money laundering and Jewish funding of cultural decline

Not even memeing, that's who buys the garbage modern art

>All that matters is "How does it make you feel?

I'm tired of those pretentious shits and I'm tired of the people who enable their trash by spending ludicrous amounts of money on it.

Even if it was just a money laundering scheme why can't they pick good art as the vessel for their money laundering?

>why can't they pick good art as the vessel for their money
cause then the skill and effort put in becomes more objective and less about the reputation of the artist and how abstract-whatever the thing is

The nazis got it right.

you got it bud

I've definitely gotten a feeling out of bullshit color field abstract expressionism--I've been that guy who stands in front of a painting for half an hour, just soaking it in. I find it amazing that they can encode a feeling in such a simple and information-sparse piece of art. But that feeling is always something simple like "loneliness" or "fear" or "joy". A piece of writing causes more complex feelings because it is more information-dense. A written story/comic or a complex and detailed drawing makes me feel a lot more than a white abstract painting because it has more information density. Even the shittiest most poorly-written fan-fiction story has more information density than a so called masterpeice of modern art bullshit.

Exactly this.

Moreover, what's so special about density of information? If it's not connected together well and doesn't build to an expressive whole (like most genre fiction, or most of the realist painting /ic/ faps to), then I don't know why I should care.

Simple and expressive > complex and bland

>>2680141
This is how I've always felt about it, it's not meaningless, it just has less meaning. It's communication with you on much fewer levels.

My reply is art. How did it make you feel?
