A trip to a modern art museum will make Hitler's art look good in comparison.
I remember visiting the Getty many years ago and after a day of wandering around ended up at the Modern Art building. I wondered why with all the masterpieces they had on display elsewhere anyone thought any of that trash deserved to be on the same premises. I think I'd have preferred a Hitler exhibit to it.
I was looking at going to art school about 10 years ago. The example student artworks on ACAD's website were like wooden thread spools, painted white, in a jar.
I briefly considered going to "Design School". Went to an Open Day, saw the type of shit that students were producing for their final projects, and had a similar visceral reaction...
Though at least "Industrial Design" has the potential to be useful, arguably...
Pity that the type of students attracted to it are busy wanting to "change the world", rather than actually doing shit better or more efficiently, but still...
The Dada movement was an effort to sever humanity from it's artistic history by elevating the irreverent, the lazy, and the ugly.
By removing from art talent, style, and, simply speaking, "art", there is a vacuum left ripe to be filled. Today we see that is used for that fill: propaganda and communist rhetoric. Bullshit ideas wrapped in "art is subjective, bro." The same that happened in China in the 60s.

I noped the fuck out, saved some serious money.
