Look at these two sculptures and tell me which one is actually art. There is no justification for the left piece at all. That is nothing more than laziness and half assing a made up twist in order to justify it. "xD Not knowing what it is until you see the title is the twist that makes it totally interesting xD!" No, the twist is that it took Bourgeois a few hours to make while he was drunk and needed to come up with a way to make it sell for a lot of money, and modern art critics with their warped sense of taste ate it out of his hand. It is an insult to real work and effort like the right and Michelangelo is probably rolling in his grave knowing that this is being passed off equally as his work.
You want to know what the left piece looks like? It looks like it belongs behind the black bar on the right.
What has art come to? It wont be long before people just make blank canvases and call it "Deep" and "Philosophical".

Modern abstract art =/= modern art The above is modern art, but it's still beautiful.

Creating random chaos and noise simple because other avenues have been tread and retread so many times before? Looking for cheap cash grabs because they are talentless hacks that couldn't even produce anything close to what the great masters have done before and have less talent and skill than even me? I suppose the idea that they honestly think that their shit that looks like it was half-assed by some grad student a half hour before a project was due because he spent the three months prior getting blazed as -blam!- is actually a real work of art comparable to David.

Edited by Faliz18: 6/26/2014 8:30:58 PMI remember when I went to Italy. I got to see David in person, and I even got a little mini version at a gift shop I remember wondering why there were so many naked guys but rarely girls

I don't see the issue here. People are enjoying it and consider it art. Who are you to say it's not? It's one thing to discuss something It's another to sling insults or criticism that's not constructive in the least. It's not effecting anyone really. If someone wants to spend money on it by all means let them.

Looks like a dick. That's just awful.

Looks like someone just glued some rocks together.

Is the one on the left a rocket ship or... what?

Beautiful piece of art... It is probably a modern sex toy.
