   Modern art- the ability to sell someone on the idea that something has characteristics that don’t exist or represents something that it doesn’t. The real art is in selling it to some sucker that will actually pay for something that, as Douglas Adams put it “belongs in the Museum of Diseased Imaginings.”

   If it’s all about the money, then why did Rothko return all the money he got for his Four Seasons commission? It was a good bit of money.

   You don’t have to look too hard to find serious people making serious art that is not representational. You don’t have to like all of it, but I would guess you’d find some that you did like.

   To this day nobody had explained to me how art is defined. I could throw a bucket of paint on a white wall and with the right words convince people it’s art.

   Today’s strip is a work of art. Refreshingly positive, it’s one of the few times the Foxtrot parental units gives the kids some sincere praise for non-bratty behavior.

    What part of “artsy-fartsy” doesn’t she understand? Have you ever heard of ‘over-analyzing’?

    Art is simply creative expression, and has no inherent monetary value. That dollar value is defined as what someone will pay for the art. The true value of art is in the perception of the observer, so what may be worthless to you may be invaluable to me.

    And yet some artwork becomes both famous AND valuable after the artist is dead. Also, Andy better stop Jason before he tries to build that Death Star.

    I think this quote from the Stuckists does a good job explaining the average person’s confusion and annoyance with the post-modern art scene today: "Stuckists claim that conceptual art is justified by the work of Marcel Duchamp, but that Duchamp’s work is ‘anti-art by intent and effect’. The Stuckists feel that “Duchamp’s work was a protest against the stale, unthinking artistic establishment of his day”, while ‘the great (but wholly unintentional) irony of postmodernism is that it is a direct equivalent of the conformist, unoriginal establishment that Duchamp attacked in the first place’."
