Modern Art

In my opinion, modern art can be fairly crap. Not that I'm an expert of course, but after a visit to the Museum of Modern Art in Sydney last weekend, I am still shaking my head at what is considered 'art'. Maybe I am not as discerning as some people, or as cultured, but to my mind, a tin of paint, sitting on top of a white stool, is not art. That was exactly what one of the pieces was- an unopened tin of Dulux white house paint, $50 at any hardware store, on a stool. The sign next to it read "this tin of paint represents a painting yet to be painted." Mmmhmmm. Now I'm sorry, but that is just a load of shite.
