Art - like beauty - is in the eye of the beholder. What you feel is useless may bring someone else great joy. What you feel is childish and messy may have not only helped the artist move on to something even better, but also may have helped someone else feel something they've lost touch with. Many times we don't like things simply because we don't understand them.I used to hate abstract art, but now I actually love a lot of it because, having made a lot of art (both abstract and realistic), I now understand it. Yes, granted, some abstract art looks pretty dull and uninteresting, but again, it may look great to someone else. That's why art is so much more interesting than TV. It's very personal, nobody has the same reaction.
Is it normal to think some modern art is useless?
