This is only worth reading if you take it as a commentary/artwork. If you read it as a real licence it all feels a little bit childish.

- tgv 6y agoThat's a deserved, but harsh criticism of modern art.
- throwanem 6y agoHarsh, I agree. But deserved? "Modern art" (in the vernacular sense, rather than the art-history one) seems to me a 'thought-terminating cliché', an excuse to disdain an entire and rather broad field of endeavor without first taking the trouble to engage at all with it. At least that's how I find I most often see it used. Perhaps that's not what is actually happening here, but nothing I've seen so far distinguishes this example from any other of the type. Nor do I see any reason why this example deserves any more favorable consideration than any other.
