What is modern art? I've always thought about how artists would actually just think of anything out of the blue, put it on a canvas and then call it "art". Is it really that easy? I have learned in my STAC class about Pollock, the abstract artist, is how he made art through apparently random paint drips. Basically, this was a creation of his very original imagination. It looked so easy to do in the movie that I saw in class, but the amount of concentration on the actor's face proved to me that maybe it wasn't as easy as I thought. It seems to be THAT easy, but at the same time not SO easy because he put so muvh effort into it.
Another artist named George Bellows that I read about asked if an artist were to put horse manure on a canvas and call it 'modern art', would the art world have to accept it? Of course, there is someone always answers yes. In some way, it seems to me that anyone could create anything original and call it "art". The one thing that I have observed about abstract art is that some people find it absolutely while others find it absolutely repulsive.There are so many different and varied expressions of art that may be beautiful in the eyes of the beholder. It can mean one thing to one person and a different thing for another person. For me, anything can seem beautiful such as nature, my family, the world around me. It just makes me wonder to be in someone else's shoes for a change. If I were to think that something is beautiful and in the view of someone else it wasn't, how would I come to terms with that?
