Pretty much couldn't really care any less about most art. It's just some paint on a canvas or a statue or whatever. Some people say they are emotionally moved

Pretty much couldn't really care any less about most art. It's just some paint on a canvas or a statue or whatever.
Some people say they are emotionally moved or mesmerised by the beauty etc. Sure I can appreciate it is a skill etc etc, but I don't understand the emotional reaction people say they have - I just see a "thing" like I see advertising boards on the street as a "thing". I wonder sometimes if people just say this stuff because they think they are supposed to.

- mattlondon 7y agoYup.
