Modern art has abandoned and rejected beauty. To quote an “artist” (Grosz) from early in the Twentieth Century, “I drew and painted from a spirit of contradiction, and tried by means of my work to convince the world that it is hideous, sick and dishonest.”
As I’ve said before, “Art, today, can be a booger with a hair in it!”
