[QUOTE="Heliodromus, post: 8051445, member: 120820"]I don't like abstract modern art, but with some there's at least some discernible skill of composition or color involved, and in others not so much ... A lot of modern "art" seems to be performance theater rather than art per se. Piles of bricks, banana duct-taped to wall, dead sheep in formaldehyde etc. I guess this is rather like paying millions for an NFT. You're really just buying an idea. Here's one done by an elephant (from Saatchi art gallery) that I'd say has a lot more artistic merit than Rothko's "No.7". [IMG]https://images.saatchiart.com/saatchi/1009017/art/3921320/2991197-HSC00001-7.jpg[/IMG] Or how about this one from elephantartgallery.com for only $275 ... [ATTACH=full]1394285[/ATTACH] No doubt that'd go for millions too if it had a famous name attached, rather than "anonymous elephant". Maybe call it "No.8", since it has 8 brush strokes ? :)[/QUOTE]
