Whatever has happened to modern art?

There is a prize for modern art called the turner prize, started in the '80's.

Well, this year, the £20,000 prize was won by a room with lights which turned on and off constantly.

What has happened to modern art?:(

It depends what you classify modern art as. If you think it's purely conceptual art which doesnt resemble "real" art, such as paintings and sculptures at all, then almost all of that is awful. But if you mean everything but classical paintings and sculptures, then the best art falls into that category.

You're an idiot.

Modern art doesn't necessarily need a specific "deeper meaning". It just wants to make you think, or make you laugh etc. You can make what you want of it, don't over-analyze everything.
Of course if you have an *******-attitude from the beginning you wont get anything out of it.

we got us this big-name austrian modern artist name of "nitsch" (sp?)
he takes huge canvases, spreads them out on the floor, takes a bunch of stark naked people, spills whole buckets of pig-blood over the peeps, then drags their bloody bodies over the canvas and thus "paints".
the guy earns about five trillion times more money than I do... :/

eh, real art? best art? sculptures and paintings? You're confusing craft with art. Da Vinci was a craftsman, Tomoko Takahashi is an artist.


there's nothing more fun than seeing closeminded old testament christians like Cat Fuzz express their opinions about art though... :p

there used to be a practical-joke-show on tv, kinda like candid camera x-treme...
there was this orang-utan at that zoo, and she liked to "paint", bunch of lines and dots with food-dies, mostly though, she just licked the paint off the brushes, but anyway...
so that show organised a vernisage, inviting some kick-ass art critics, and putting about twenty of the orang-utan's works on display, having invented some funny background story for the "artist", who fled out of rumania during its bloody regime, and now "coped" with his experiences via painting.

that's all the critics needed...
they said "aaah!", and "oooh!", and "what 1337 skillz!", and their inside-babble galore, but were a bit "disgruntled", when (after a little buffet) "the artist" was lead into the rooms...
