Some people appreciate abstract art, and some do not. To appreciate the above paintings, having some education or experience in appreciation or technique helps.

No, those things dont help anything. There is nothing to appreciate or be educated about. Those paintings have no meaning, and are just pure nonsense, masquerading as something artistic.

We could call them "Idiot Art", based on the idiocy of hundreds of millions of $$$ being paid for them. Could also be called Hoax Art.

 

[BackAgain]

I would call "Good Art" paintings, any paintings that would be pleasant to me, to have them hanging on my walls, in my house.

To fit that description they would have to have some amount of real objects, or if abstract (which I ordinarily don't like much), they would have to have some element of reality in them.

In this painting, called "Angles & Curves", Most of the left side of the painting is sharp angles. Most of the right side is rounded curves.

It looks like the cover of Goodnight Moon, if you happen to be high.

Yes they do. If you don't understand them, that's your problem. And that's fine.

There is nothing to understand. Paintings of NOTHING, selling for millions of $$$ are one of the world's biggest scams. They are dependent on fools thinking they are "art", when they're nothing but mindless scribbles.

These are ART (which really mean something and convey feelings >>

First Comes Goo, Then Comes Gulag

The only thing I understand about the junk painting in the novel Red Square is that its prominence foretold the irrational but widely praised nightmare that Russia was headed for.

What I can tell is "as far" as anyone alive. I have been a painter for 70 years, have taught art at 3 colleges of the City University of New York, and have sold thousands of $$$ of paintings over the decades, in New York City, the Francisco Bay area , and Tampa Bay area.

How about Andy Warhol, financed by the perpetual enemies of human progress, a typically degenerate heiress living off a 200-year old trust fund?
