Modern Art and ... liberalism go hand-in-hand.

Both are all about perception rather than substance. In both, the medium defines the message, the package defines -- or obsoletes -- the content.

How many doctrinaire conservatives do you know? What use is "art" made of feces?

[Paul Atreides]

In the course on Modern Art I took, it was explained that what made modern art so significant was what the artist was "feeling" at the time he painted, or sculpted, the work. In other words, an artist can do a bunch of squiggles on a canvas and, because he was thinking about his opposition to the war on terrorism at the time, he can give it some sort of pretentious title about being anti-war and he is hailed as a genius.
