The world of fine art consists of a bunch of mostly gay Jews convincing rich goy that they must compete to buy things no one else has, no matter how pointless or stupid they are.
The wealthy that waste their money on such extravagance aren't smart... they're generational rich, who usually inherited everything they have and just live like fat kings on the interest and investments.
Who becomes famous isn't a matter of talent- it's finding the right Jew to promote you in their gallery.
A lot of this shit art is peddled by Leftists. A huge part of leftism is the destruction of beauty, that's why most libs look like shit with their faces pierced, hate "beauty standards", etc.

Modern art is a perfect avenue for money laundering, hence why it is such a popular thing:
>"The art world has been discovered by criminals as an effective way for money laundering and other clandestine activities on an international level. Unfortunately, in most countries investigators, prosecutors, judges, and regulatory agencies are not equipped to accurately detect, investigate and prosecute this type of criminal activity. Also, regulation and international laws and treaties involving the art world have many loopholes that can potentially lead to the laundering of large sums of money."
Google: modern art money laundering
It is really easy to clean up money in this day and age, through 'art'.

Art IS subjective, but that doesn't justify shit
Sometimes beautiful things can come from simplicity but unfortunately a LOT of "artists" now do take advantage of that and milk buyers as hard as they fucking can with bullshit doodles
>>55541125
Back in the days art was subject to very strict standards and then artists got sick of making art according to someone else's beliefs of aesthetics so they created new movements like impressionism and expressionism which showed reality through a new lens rather than the beautified reality of older art.
Then artists rejected more and more the old standards and critics loved it, praised it as genius and then it went on spiraling down going from art subject to strict standards to art with standards but with subjective expression to art with no standards (as to how can it be good or bad without standards I don't know) and no skill required and only about personal expression.

>Artist's Shit (Italian: Merda d'artista) is a 1961 artwork by the Italian artist Piero Manzoni. The work consists of 90 tin cans, each filled with 30 grams (1.1 oz) of faeces, and measuring 4.8 by 6.5 centimetres (1.9 in × 2.6 in), with a label in Italian, English, French, and German stating:
Artist's Shit
Contents 30 gr net
Freshly preserved
Produced and tinned
in May 1961
>A tin was sold for €124,000 at Sotheby's on May 23, 2007;[5] in October 2008 tin 83 was offered for sale at Sotheby's with an estimate of £50–70,000. It sold for £97,250. On October 16, 2015, tin 54 was sold at Christies for the astonishing sum of £182,500. The tins were originally to be valued according to their equivalent weight in gold – $37 each in 1961 – with the price fluctuating according to the market.

That's fucking bullshit, I work in the animation industry, everybody I know within had to take life drawing classes while in school, and I know a lot of people who went to a lot of different schools. Maybe the fancy fine arts universities don't do it anymore but the arts schools that act like trade schools do, if you want to find impressive art watch the credits of any video game, movie or TV show and watch for the names of the concept artists then just google them, they all have personal websites, hell if you want to be lazy and not read credits you can shift through the shit and good stuff yourself if you just know the sites where artists gather and post their work see, http://cgplus.com/ or http://www.cgsociety.org/ just because actual talented artists don't make that much money while hacks make millions doesn't mean that real artists stopped existing.

Money laundering.
No I'm not kidding.
The value of a piece of art is whatever it sells for - it's nearly impossible to objectively quantify. If I have $50,000,000 in drug money that I need to acquire legally then I commission some fucknugget artist to make a hurrdurr painting, hand the 50 million off to a third party, and then sell the painting to that third party for - you guessed it - 50 million.
Obviously you don't do it all in one transaction like that, and you need to be careful that the people you are giving the money to aren't having *their* incomes looked at too closely, and there's some other tricks as well, but that's the gist of it.
It's just a huge fucking scam.
>>55541125
Before the invention of the camera and mass media distribution it would have been like a really amazing thing just to see a picture. Even such a small thing as seeing a certain color, say green in the middle of winter for example, would be a remarkable thing. Even more so a person or figure or building that was not immediately present. These are things that people would not have taken for granted, before the camera.
But rich people still needed some kind of art that they could safely invest in. A painting of a horse couldn't reliably hold its value when any dumb schlub could go out and take a picture of a horse, and oh yeah its better quality and finer detail.
So a lot of money poured into modern art because like, hey man, its really deep trust me, I don't have to explain shit. Make no mistake there was already an art industrial complex and pleeently of shitty pictures of horses long before modern art hit the scene. Museum curators and the dealers just switched gears, began assigning all the bullshit buzzwords and gallery space they used to sell pictures of horses to sell pictures of scribbles instead.
Still I would take museums upon museums full of horses before I would take anything modern art has produced.

I will say that the lifestyle and persona of the artist themselves is the real driving force behind their art's success. A modern art piece created by a cishet white christian male with no history of drug abuse or mental illness for example would prooobably not get much play at galleries. You've gotta have some substance abuse issues at the least, and the more mentally tortured the better.
Art is bound to meaning and postmodern ideologies tend towards subjectivism and challenging traditions - as I'm sure you all already know - whether those traditions are objectively valid or not.
As such, things like abstract expressionism (like Polock and Rothko) that are literally just arrabgements of colour are considered valid artworks because they challenge traditional art, have no easily discernable objective meaning, and are statements about subjectivity.
If that's not your thing, and you prefer traditional art for its technical expertise and objective meaning, then that's fine. Postmodern art gets on my nerves too. It's a hive of pretentiousness and scummy lefties.
it all started with some well meaning artists who wanted to break the rules and show art can be something more than a set rule
then game a long jackson pollock who made it so that art had to be about "emotion"
then came Andy Warhol who made it that anyone can copy shit and made millions (though that did actually reflect the culture and art was always suppose to be that so his art can have some merit)
then came along Basquiat, people were so desperate to find an artist that is suppose to be "a voice of a generation" that they picked a nigger off the street
then came Mr. Brainwash who made something as pure as street art and made it a hollow business, even other street artists hate him. Basically doing the same as Warhol but even worse
then i don't know what happened but a lot of artists are now just assholes doing installations art. some of it is actually cool but a lot of it is the same dumb "emotional" crap that they sell for thousands to some idiot
>>55547613
This is the kind of jargon that museum curators and art dealers prop up the value of all their shitty 'art' with. Just know that it doesn't mean anything and it certainly doesn't lend and legitimacy to the art itself. The legitimacy comes from the money the art sales for.
>>55547770

Well, technically they are valid statements. They just lead to shitty art because what is the point in an upside down unicycle that challenges what you define as art and the nature of symbolism? It just can't compare to the sort of shit that Raphael, Titian, and Mantegna produced.

Auckland Art Gallery made my blood boil when I went two months ago. It was all postmodern trash. Except an Indian art exhibition which was equally terrible. I'm glad I live in Christchurch where the earthquake toppled the gallery. My brother is working on the repairs and has told me its years away from completion and massively over budget. They might as well not bother at all.
Rather than censor these modern styles of art, Hitler decided it was better to gather the work from trendy modern artists and provided exhibits of "degenerative art" where citizens could see for themselves what this style was about and compare it to classical art. It was labelled "degenerative art" because it suggested negativity and incomprehensibility of the world, and as such was at odds with the positivism, determined progress, noble ideals, desire for solutions, and generally hopeful outlook that the National Socialist movement stood for. Hitler believed that modern art was in conflict with the eternal values of beauty and therefore could only lead to a decline of civilization. Modern art separated people from identifying with the positive expressions of art because it was incomprehensible. In addition, modern art had obliterated the concept of beauty and consequently stood as an enemy of life itself because it preferred nothingness or the ugly to the beautiful.

At last, I truly see.
Capitalism is a chaotic entity whose injustice brings a stark contrast to the peaceful, tranquility (as evidenced by the baby blue) that exists before its introduction. It is a hellish system just as unpredictable as the lines in the piece, favoring the rich, then suddenly the poor, then suddenly the rich again; however, regardless of who is favored, it is merely one entity at a time. The stark imbroglio only exerts its influence in one region of the piece, just as capitalism will extol but a single class. This wondrous work illustrates how capitalism ensures that one cannot even determine where the line (lines?) of morality begin and end—indeed, with capitalism, Prosperous becomes Principled, and Destitute becomes Dishonorable.
What a virtuous work of art!

That's why they buy it.
You can donate that painting to a museum and get a tax write-off in most first-world countries due to it being a 'charitable act'. The value of the write-off is proportional to the value of the painting (i.e. how much it was sold for, since paintings have no practical worth to measure).
