NOT SAYING “I COULD DO THAT” IN THE MODERN ART MUSEUM

Very played out and cliché thing to say. If you could paint that then why haven’t you?? You don’t have to like the art, just come up with a real critique

Right? Going to a gallery just to judge art based on a single criterion of " would I want to have it in my living room" seems like such a waste of time. They could just stay home and scroll Pinterest

I used to have a keychain that said “modern art = i could do that + yeah, but you didn’t”

I’m tired of hearing people say that modern art sucks

like 95% of the people who talk shit about modern art don’t even know that nothing made after the 70s even falls into the CATEGORY of modern art! We’re not talking that banana-taped-to-a-wall shit. We’re talking an entire CENTURY of widely diverse and prolific art. If you hate modern art and wanna shit talk it as a whole and understand that you’re including futurism and dadaism and cubism and expressionism and IMPRESSIONISM (while u strut around with your MONET tote bag saying crap like NOW THIS IS THE REAL SHIT), then go right ahead! Nothing wrong with hating modern art but damn at least know what it IS! Like damn can we stop pretending it’s quirky to “only like the classics” already (many of your classics fucking ARE MODERN ART BITCH)! And don’t let me catch u praising shit like Manet, Degas, Renoir, Matisse, Cassatt, Hopper either, because bitch I have bad news for you

CRITICAL CREATIVITY

It’s my biggest pet peeve when you watch a movie or listen to a song with someone and they just say “good” as a way to describe it. With no critical thinking about what it speaks for, how it makes you feel, or what the artist was trying to convey. I don’t think it’s a cute trait to like every movie that you watch, art wasn’t made to be passively liked by everyone. I love people with strong opinions, and I cannot stand to be around people who say “it’s not that deep 🥀” when you talk about anything creative. THE CURTAINS AREN’T JUST BLUE YOU’RE JUST DULL
