As with anything: the majority has bad taste, but this guy just has no understanding of modern art... - Art != prettiness and genie: Art is more than craftsmanship, with creations as pleasant as possible. Rainbows, Mona Lisas, naked bodies, all pretty and good in their fields, but it can really bore you when you get to know art better. It's like growing a decent taste in music and looking back at pop (though of course, there are some really good pop songs too, but the majority is plain booring). It becomes unbearable kitschy. The worst of it might be hyperealism. Either go to a talent show or make a photograph, but don't expect me to think of it as good art. - The old paintings may be good, but you can dwell on them in the museum. Todays artists want to create something new too, so they move on. Sorry if this is not always eye candy. And a good concept is art too. Maybe you could even draw it the same way, but you didn't! And if you want to see a mona lisa yet again, just go and watch the mona lisa again. - if anything, I would claim that modern art still tries too much to be liked. Media installations to entertain the crowds (nice in a science museum, but not interesting as art), ever sharper photographs (yes photos can be art too), "new music" that tries to avoid harmony so badly it's completely cliché again, etc...
