Those godawful catwalk shows with skeletal 6 foot girls or galleries full of crap that people are too pretentious to say is just that, crap?
Which is worse in your opinion?

Modern Art is at least hilarious. Remember the "artist" who stuck a load of used condoms on a board and called it art?
what a cock-up that was
As I like some modern art, I go with fashion.
Of course, what is worst of all is people who think "I don't like it, so it must be crap"
I do think most people can appreciate beautiful art and can tell when they see an unmade bed or a pile of bricks that it is shite
Doesn't leave a whole lot of room for differences of opinion that. How dull
I dont see dullness in mother nature?
Now, I like some of the 'pile of bricks' stuff. I find it interesting.
Whereas, the day I spent in the National Gallery bored me - I appreciate the skill, but the end result tends not to excite me. Now, Picasso or Dali...
Lots of things are interesting, like Serial killers and monster cock videos but its not really art
Why? The bed? I thought that was pretty cool.
Google the free world charter and get rid of both - and reduce your working week while your at it.
Neither of those things are interesting, but modern art is art. You just don't like it. Doesn't stop it being art.
I don't like the Mona Lisa. It didn't move me or engage me when I saw it. It's still art
Both are interesting as is the Mona Lisa
Perhaps you have an example of the modern art you like?
Her work is criminal:mad:

Maybe they actually do like it.

Seagram Murals are wonderful. Don't need to imagine it.

A lot of this is the kind of thing I like, Rothko, Mondrian, Dali, Picasso. I prefer more geometric and abstract shapes, as well as the cleverness of 'good' surrealism. I take each piece on it's own merits - I like roughly 25% of what I see, and actively dislike 50% (the remainder is 'meh'). Not a big fan of installations, for example - i never quite see the point
I'm happy for you not to like any of it
Have done. Like them. Not pish.
The outlandish items on the catwalk are purely to bring attention to the designer, without this display of indivuality their potential latent talent could pass unnoticed. Likewise Emin's bed and Hirst's shark brought them to the worlds attention.
I am a great admirer of modern art but recognise it is not always readily accessible particularly when it is ridiculed and derided in popular media. Don't judge until you have seen it displayed in a gallery as the artist intended, you may be surprised.
For them record, I consider much of Emin's work and particularly her drawings, remember she is Professor of Drawing at the RA, an abomination.
