Don't worry, a lot of these artists don't see much of a return either. A lot of money earned by artists actually goes to art dealers and galleries.

I remember having spent about two weeks on a painting that would go towards me college gallery. I wasn't expecting to win anything but I was just happy it got shown. It was a very emotional piece that I spent much time and thought towards. Only for my work to not just win anything, but not even make it in the gallery. Instead this guy walked in with 50 or so paintings of simple lines and colors and he would explain his "thought process" on it. None of it made any sense, just giberish. And of course he received pats on the back and money out of it. It was extemely discouraging. Unless you have connections, money, or power, your dream as an artist will die with you.

There is truth to this, an artist's work can be promoted like a product and invested in so as to create a marketplace for investment purposes. But the artist's work has to grow over time. Don't let a college situation hold you back or make. you believe this is the total truth because it is not. Perhaps you need to find your. niche, there are art collectors out there who aren't necessarily millionaires but see the value in your work. Talk about the meaning behind your paintings, create a connection with the viewer based upon this. How to find collectors? I'm praying about this myself. I do believe in the power of prayer. However, you may not believe in that and that's okay. There is information out there that can teach you, or at least lead you to find your niche and your own collectors. All the best.

You need to learn to sell your art. That guy knew how to sell his work, you clearly didn’t. If you want to be a working artist that has their pieces in galleries then you need to craft stories around your work, create mythology, charm curators, collectors. Simply making good art is not enough, sad but true. You’re venturing into the business side of things which is a skill set of its own. You have to sharpen your social skills and build those networks that will get you through the door.

Basically rich people spend millions on random art to launder their money, so they don’t have to pay taxes since it counts as a donation/charity.

My problem is that these paintings sell for millions, when they look like they were made by a 3-year old in 2 minutes. Personally, when I look at these paintings, I feel barely anything at all. It is only after I look at the price tag, that makes me angry. There are hundreds, thousands of talented and hard-working artists out there that produce much better art than this and get almost nothing in return.

As someone who paints acrylic paintings over the course of days, even looking at the modern “art” leaves me unsettled. Experimenting with colours is another thing, but selling it for this insane amount of money is absurd, because I find absolutely no way for it being worth that much. I don’t find this art, I simply find it colours slathered on a canvas. The main reason why I hate this is because the actual, real art, the detailing, the colour schemes that took actual time and effort are being overlooked because of this. For me, random brushstrokes will never be equal to a detailed work.

I think one of the biggest challenges in fighting the undeniable degeneracy of modern art is that it's really not enough to point out the laziness of the work. To really be effective in your criticism, you need to shift your focus towards modernism itself.

I'm an artist, and I'm sure their are many others artists here like me who will agree, that when we display our works we show a certain amount of pageantry in our techniques, the scale of complexity and as such becomes a culmination of something that can't simply be replicated by just throwing paint, making a cube or letting our children create havok for half an hour in a room with some paints and a canvas. For me arts about mastering the capture of a feeling and translating it on the canvas with the finesse of that expression, putting it before an intended audience and having them feel the same way by reading it as I did painting it, it's not about alienating your audience and then flaunting it's price! This is the reason why I give much of my works away for free! In protest to spite this ridiculous trend

Anybody can learn art/painting techniques over time and learn to master painting realistic portraits or realism. Abstract art on the other hand really can't be taught. It's a self taught journey an artist must go through and despite how simple and un-skilled or lack of talent you may think these abstract pieces showcase, you're wrong. It's actually very hard to produce good abstract art pieces in reality. Some really good artist make it look easy the way they splash their paint around but don't be fooled.

A portrait painting still has an edge over photography, as a painting can show how you wish to be represented; a camera shows what is actually there. Telling people what they want to hear can be a valuable skill.

The truth is they sell for so much because it’s an easy write off once you buy it and hold on to it while it increases in price and later on sell it to yourself for half the price of what it’s worth and then you have another tax write off since it’ll come up as you took a loss for selling it

They said it’s expensive because apparently “drawing realistically” is taken by photographers, so all they do is draw “simplicity”, something a goddamn ONE YEAR OLD can accidentally draw. Art can actually be amazing if people didn’t think drawing shapes is better than drawing like a photograph.

@heimer donger If you make an income of 100 mil from that 37% of it goes to federal taxes alone. So 37 million dollars just taken from the government. Let's say you buy an art piece from an auction house for 10 million dollars. And you store it in a free port anonymously so taxes doesnt count on your art piece. Your art piece stays in the free port for 5 years. Auction houses always keep exclusive partnerships with artists and make sure the demand for their art goes up and keep marking the price up as time goes on. You can get an appraisal for your art piece, and because its from a famous auction house and a famous artist, its worth 50 mil now. You can donate this art piece to a museum and get a tax write off of 50 million from your 37 million taxes. The other 13 million can be evenly split for the next 5 years.

At the end of the month you would still get paid. You could ask for more if the class found out the answer themselves.

An example would be movies like "Incendies" or "No Country for Old Man". They are incredible, gut wrenching movies. Yet they're not exactly "beautiful", but they do carry emotional power. Of course, it all depends on how you define beauty in the first place.

Watching the video, I was reminded of the folktale 'The Emperor's New Clothes.' It's time to say the truth: this is not art. It's something else, but not the kind of art we want to preserve as heritage for future generations.

It’s worth a lot of money because at least some segment of the population has decided it’s worth a lot of money. Take some rare Star Wars action figure, for example. All it’s made of is plastic and it’s probably not much to look at but it represents so much to so many people- childhood memories, hopes, dreams, etc. It sounds corny but that’s what it is. Then others buy it simply to use it as an investment and might not have any emotional attachment at all. Same thing with modern art only the large majority of people don’t know the lore and the journey behind each painting so they dismiss it out of hand because they don’t know what they’re looking at. All they see is the thing itself. So why are the prices for modern art so out of control compared to other collectibles? Because its fans are likely ridiculously rich. Being interested in modern art probably means you’ve been educated in rich people culture and is sort of seen as one of those rights of passage into the elite world same as wine tasting, yachts, sports cars, big ass houses and private jets. And yeah there’s also the money laundering thing. It’s all part of that world that no one but the 1% is privy to, so we don’t understand it.

So you're telling me artists like Van Gogh, Monet, Manet, Munch... produce "not good" art? Because they're are extension of the modernist category as Expressionism and Impressionism are often categorised under "Modern". Please use the terms carefully. What you dislike is Minimalist art. Not Modern art.

It seems to me that people who defend modern art claim that it is a personal expression of emotion from the artist and therefore, it has value. In 3:26, the speaker states that any person could make a black canvas, but because the artist put lots of thought into the work and had a journey to arrive to the work, the plain black canvas has value. However, you're not buying the journey or the thought, you're buying the stupid black canvas (which you could DIY at home). The journey and thought is deeply personal. It is an insult to the artist to think that one could buy that personal journey with rich people paper.

As soon as money becomes the most important, or even a considerable factor in anything, absurdity comes along as rain follows low pressure.

Imagine going to art school, studying and practicing hard to be the next Leonardo Da Vinci. Then imagine making a painting you put your heart and soul into it for 46 years, only to be bested by some squiggles because some dude had a heart attack and the “artist” stole it.

One of them, didn't even have paint. 😂

Seriously I study art in college, and I still don't understand how splatters of paint is classified as "abstract" or an "impression"?

Art is inherently a balance of colors and shapes. What makes it special is the idea and feeling it brings to the person viewing it. - To have a work of a lifetime is not an easy thing. it's sometimes a matter of luck. - It is because of such rarity that it becomes so expensive.

Preaching that we are bullshitting everyone else.

I remember watching a news report many years ago where they took paintings made by elementary school students and put them in art galleries. It was hilarious to watch the "experts and critics" comment on how much depth, talent, skilled, etc, the artists were.

Most skilled artist suck at modern abstract art. Children can make awesome art. There's artists like Twombly who got their inspiration from children, but added composition, color, and balance. All I see on here are people who have Dunning Kruger that don't know anything about what they're talking about.

this dont consider as an art. such a dumb idea anyone could say this is an art worth of million dollars. such a shame to those people who work for hours days weeks and even months to finish their ART works meanwhile this kind of so called 'art' feels like elementary days and they called it "very difficult" for what? lmao everyone could do that even a 2yrsold could. glad many people wide awake to not consider those frames with dirty paints as an art. lol

@@jonathanmosher72 nobody is saying we need only classical art. But if you need to sort of make ad hominem to the audience to justify the price tag, perhaps its not innovative and more pretentious. We aren’t really angry, we are just saying meh, and perhaps a bit concerned about money laundering to evade taxes. I just personally think in today’s world where scientists or physicists have tapped into fundamentals of our very existence, is creating things that are borderline magical, a lot of continental philosophers/artist feel rather inadequate and not that innovative and that leads to these pretentious things. “Look we are also really abstract just like math people are! Praise be upon my intellect!” Comes across pretty self aggrandizing which rest of the population finds silly. Modern art isn’t abomination nor is it end of civ or something. It’s just silly insecure people doing silly things.

The truth is that most artists starve. Most of the comments say artists are scammers but 90% of them work really hard and don't get any money for their art. I'm an artist myself, I work hard and don't sell anything. Works only sell for millions after the artist is dead. So stop saying it's a scam, art don't do you any harm, on the contrary.

if this is art, fart is a concerto

It would be interesting to see an experiment done involving a modern artist’s work vs. 3 random passersby instructed to imitate said artist’s work, and see whether a room full of social elites are able to differentiate the authentic one full of “meaning”. I reckon everyone would just start bidding on the spot.

As an artist, scamming the rich is my favorite pastime.

There was a person that took a shit on a canvas and people loved it, but after realizing that it was just shit on a canvas they quickly changed their minds and took back their words. It's funny how people would consider some things "art" when in reality it was just "shit on a canvas."
