I think the same about some modern art, such as Duchamp's urinal, or Craig-Martin's oak tree. Once you understand what the artist is trying to say, there is no need ever to see the work again. Although it gets me into trouble, I tend to divide art into "craft", where skill is important, and "visual philosophy", where the message is the thing, and skill is often secondary. And I have to say that I prefer that to the Old Masters!
