how did we go from the left to the right modern art is a cancer

I've seen a lot of renaissance sculpture and honestly the one on the right is more interesting to me at this point.

Like, the pursuit of realism has a concrete end in any given medium. Absurdist abstraction is limitless.

Rated 💯 by multiple networks. Fluent in /unglish. Unbothered by /whatday of the week it is.

Allegedly a designer.

The former displays mastery of skill and is inspiring + beautiful which should be what we optimize for 

Absurdist is inherently easier to create. It’s lowered the bar and helped mediocre talent get away with passing off neon-sharpie-feathers-macaroni-and-paste kindergartener level projects as pinnacle of art

Im of two minds, I think objectively the left image is "better art" but that doesn't invalidate the expression found the right. Fundamentally the whole space is filled with psyops and weird things like network effects dominating conversation. This clip from the French Dispatch did more for my understanding of the function of art than a crazy amount of conversations with people that went in circles.

Im the guy that posted all those factory memes once
