>If classic art sought to pull on "positive" emotions and move and inspire; modern art seemed determined to confuse and then move on to outrage. Your definitions of "classic art"[1] and "modern art"[2] have to be pretty narrow to argue this. I know anyone can pull a few counter examples to any objectivist statement on the arts, but I have a very difficult time believing any argument that's based on the earnest belief that classic art drew on "positive" emotions while modern art is driven by "negative" ones. What kind of art are you looking at? Just want to point out; that Jeff Koons piece is displayed publicly.
