All that nasal singing, eugh.
At least the nazis didn't sang with their noses.

I haven't met a single person, art student or otherwise, who actually likes modern art. Not a one, and I say this without exaggeration. There's a complete disconnect between the art produced and what the people actually appreciate nowadays.
Modern art is an unsustainable game of emperor's new clothes. Talentless art dropouts produce literal trash, critics say they like it because they're afraid of being labelled as low brow. The only thing keeping it going, in Europe at least, is government art funds. Purely modern art museums don't get much attention and modern art installations rarely last long.
Do you mean modern art in layman's terms, as in including all kinds of cubism and pointillism etc.? Because that can certainly be appealing to large audiences.
I'm fairly open to all sorts of art, but one truly baffling piece was at an opening of a museum in Finland. It was a washing machine. Filled with sperm. Which got old. And smelly. And had to be changed every week. That kind of modern art is beyond me.

I always thought "modern art" in layman's terms actually meant "postmodern art". Of course none of the creators or critics ever want to be categorised because they're too pretentious for that, but whenever Joe European says "modern art" it's a pejorative term directed at postmodern art shock techniques and/or cultural plundering.
Cubism and pointillism are "proper" modern art because they fit into the modernist movement, and even abstract stuff like Jackson Polluck can be considered modernist, as far as I know. Things start to cross into postmodern when they're designed to evoke meaning rather than an aesthetic response. And that's where they fail because postmodern artists are too obtuse to evoke anything that hasn't been evoked by toddlers and small children since the dawn of time.
My parent's are in town to see the show I'm in and take me home after the weekend. We went and got dinner and it was nice seeing them after a few months away. And then after my show today I went out to a bar called McSorely's which is the oldest Irish tavern in Manhattan with one of my castmates. They serve only two beers, light and dark (house beers) and they're both pretty good. It was just nice to be able to go out with someone new and knock back some beers. Somehow the conversation turned to D&D, but that's beside the point. I had a really nice night.
Incidentally, I've finally got a new D&D group!
