I'm not a fan of Picasso. However ... a Picasso is pretty recognizably a Picasso. A Van Gogh is easy to spot as a Van Gogh.

I am also not a fan of Jackson Pollack. But either he was an artist, or he was lucky. If he was lucky, then the man who puts a drop cloth under a flock of pigeons may be equally "lucky". If we consider Jackson Pollack an artist (and most people do) then we recognize that he brought "something special" with him when he approached his work.

"Camera Tossing" results are either good or bad a matter of luck. The results are not recognizably attributable to a particular "artist". There's nothing special here.

I'm tired of art that can be done by anyone.

I know what you mean. Is it art if someone has to tell you it's art?
