@killdodd I've spent my 21 years of existence developing my abilities, and art is my life. If you have basic knowledge of art history which I assume most people have (clearly i'm wrong) you would gather that I am speaking of "simplicity." As i said in the video, there are some extremely amazing modern works. I too, like to create abstract/modern works myself. But when someone covers a canvas with black paint and throws a few blobs of paint on it... i'm sorry but I cannot take it seriously.
@LenaDanya i am actually currently studying art history, and at no point during the course have they mentioned 'modern art' meaning 'simplicity'. i was under the impression that 'modern art' is in fact art of the last 150 or so years, and that what you just described (and drew) was one of many sub genre's of abstraction.
my objection then is based on the fact that you are dismissing large areas of modern art as hogwash, when you cannot adequately describe what it is....
@killdodd You my my darling, are taking my silly video way too seriously. I was obviously referring to works that require extremely little or no skill to create. Which there's nothing wrong with self-expression and I support ALL forms of art if it's created from the heart. But when I see such works being compared to the likes of Caravaggio or Jan Van Eyck.. I repeat, I cannot take it seriously. How is this difficult to understand? This is MY personal opinion. It's not gonna change. End of story
@LenaDanya If you do discover a worm hole that could take you to a universe where no one could merely cover a canvas with black paint and throw a few blobs of paint on it in order to be held in the same light as Caravaggio or Jan Van Eyck, please take me with you. I promise not to bother you once we've arrived home :P I just want to be wherever that is.
@qui124 You too? I feel the same way she does about modern art. You can think it's all bad. That makes one of us though, if you actually listen to what she's said..
@StephenAndrew777 I'm kind of like her on this issue.I like some modern art. But the people that think they're paint drippings are worth thousands because they play the Jackson Pollock card really get on my nerves. I only accept pollocks art because I know I can't recreate it. It also makes me feel like I waste so much of my time on my drawings and can't turn a dime on them.
Leave Mark Rothko alone please you need to go to art school and study, then get a reputation, respect and experience then we'll talk. I used to think that way five years ago but then I changed...
I bet it's fun to profit of peoples stupidity! I was thinking of trying it because I'm kinda broke these days, LOL! Then when I make my money I'll come back and make fun of all the moronic dumb asses that bought it!!!!!!!
Right on, cubism at first specially was honest, had a degree of skill and is TRULY a realist style like impressionism, too bad cubists were mediocre painters skillwise, check the contemporary russians who also did cubism and youre going to be surprised!
lol, at 1:17 you basically contradicted everything you said because you made a visual piece on your frustration with "modern art". It's just that something that comes from plain, stupid and meaningless hatred will neither push anybody to any thoughs nor evoke any emotion.
@Ozzrya91 Mondrian didn't exist as an artist to paint paintings- it was a lifestyle choice and completely reinvented the way people understood the world. A lot of his work was based on his Theology as a Calvanist. whether or not you like his work please respect it.
Does anyone know the name of that artist who action paints upside down with his hands... He did one of MJ in large scale that was amazing to watch but i can't find any info on it - even through google & is driving me bananas -_-
@Ozzrya91 Noo I freakin love cubism. There are a lot of incredible abstract modern works as I mentioned in the video, but indeed I was referring to simplicity. Glad you have knowledge of art, a lot of people misunderstood my reference of exactly which category of modern art I was referring to.

Only the wealthiest people were able to afford artist commissions. Those who were unskilled were useless. Of course with the modern era, "modern" art deviates from the tradition.
Nothing has changed economically, still the most famous or appreciated artists is getting tons of money by the capitalist royalty, the difference is that the artist became skilled in fooling them about the artistic object, now they can sell them whatever they want, not a great sculpture or a incredible painting. That would be nice actually, kind of robin hood mixed with the emperors new clothes, the only problem i see is the artists keeping all the (bad earned) money to themselves.
Thats not true, maybe the elite (they had their own political reasons for it)
but for example van gogh had his of fans who came and visited him,
modern was just too underground in those times. It was in fact the more simple persons, not the critics who loved the work of impressionists for example.. now with cubism the challenge was higher, but anyways, they had a less dificult time than the impressionists, you can say they paved the ground for the cubists!
while I agree with some of your points my opinion is different. I think to be a good artist modern or not you need to be creative. My definition of creative is having an original idea that has value. So I put it to you that someone can have all the drawing talent in the world and only be a graphic designer and on the other hand someone can have no drawing talent and be a great artist.
Art should be aesthetically pleasing rather than purely ideological. This is just a thought but...it seems modern art artists are full of it. If I were to take a piece of dog shit and put it in a museum, art snobs would probably try to find some deeper meaning to it.
You forgot to mention splatter crap paint. Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! finally somebody finally agreed with me .So all you splatter paint, scribble jerking pencil, circle on a sqaure peg artists...........all i got to say is go get some talent and skills and stop scamming people for millions of dollars to support your habit.......BIATCH!!!!!!!!!!
Wow the comment thread on here is pretty much like modern art in itself. Technical skill means dick compared to creativity and intention, when there is meaning behind the simplicity it can become complex. Clearly half the people here just want something pretty. You know it's nice that you can draw a near perfect portrait of some one, or paint your favorite bob ross landscape, but then all you have is some simple picture that only looks nice to the eye. Finish art history. Then learn about art.
just the other day I visited a modern art museum. Canvases with a few scribbles, a fishtank with basketballs, stacked cardboard boxes and a normal looking chair. There was a time when being considered an artist required a degree of talent. Nowadays you can pick a stick off the ground and call it "art". Sad days we live in.
I agree one hundred percent. Some modern "art" looks like a two year old stuck his hand in paint and put it on canvas. Oh, and by the way, I think your cute little bird is speaking some sort of demonic language.
Okay. Lets see you sell that page of scribbles for millions of dollars. I think its kind of ironic that you tried to show us how easy modern art is, but you wound up proving that its not easy.
@philnoll Modern art is not easy. I myself, have created many works that would likely be classified between representational and abstract. And as I CLEARLY said in the video which CLEARLY didn't register in your brain, the modern art I was referring to is simplicity.. dumbed down to the simplest ability.. And yes, it is very easy. If you are telling me that the average human cannot draw some squares or scribbles and lines then you are deeply insulting not only yourself, but humanity.
@LenaDanya I don't really need a lesson in history. I understand that some art movements were respected for being daring and bold. But Matisse and Rothko are talentless hacks just because they reduced their art to simplicity. Also, their art is far from being scribbles on a piece of paper. Can you give me an example of famous art that is just scribbles?
@philnoll Oh of course Rothko's work was sooooo unique and original like WOAHH totally different and innovative, SO kewlz!!!!111
But if you honestly want to say that they compare to the works of caravaggio, jan van eyck, michelangelo, and such artists, then I really feel no need to waste anymore time replying to your comments.
@LenaDanya lol. Oh yeah, it must have gotten lost on my simple mind. Boy, you are really condescending. Well first of all, 16th century art sucks. No-one wants to look at heroic depictions of war generals and crap like that.
Anyway, I think part of the point of minimalist art was to make you angry. Looks like its working.
@philnoll Hahaha "heroic depictions of war and crap like that" Trailing back to what I said, take an art history class or at least do a shred of research and then maybe you'll at least sound like you know what you're talking about... then I won't sound so condescending to you. Caravaggio's work was deep, intense, complicated, symbolic, and completely beyond just what you see. Just as your pretty colors and shapes and squares and such can have meaning to them so can something representational
@philnoll however you're interesting in seeing some real art, beyond anything you or i can manage, check this guy out netgrafx. deviantart. com/gallery minus the spaces of course.
@LenaDanya I'm not saying that stuff is bad, although my mind isn't exactly opened by digital landscapes. Some stuff belongs in video games, body art, graffiti, etc. Some stuff belongs in children's books. Chris Van Allsburg, Paul Booth.
@philnoll If those artists scribbled some garbage onto a paper i'm sure today it would sell for quite a large sum of money because they're a part of history. But that is beyond the point, the scribbles were not meant to be taken so seriously, as I am clearly being sarcastic in this entire video, my apologies for assuming that this would be easy to understand for the simple mind. Matisse was more abstract than simplicity, as for Rothko back to what i said about the shapes.
@philnoll secondly, the reason those works sold for so much, at the time they were created, the art world/industry was going through changes after impressionism and the works were respected for the somewhat rebellious, as such had not been done before. Seeing as art about a century and a half ago wasn't taken so lightly. Education was strict and schools were incredibly prestigious. Please learn your history before saying anything else.
My God I could not agree more!!!!! I am so glad to hear an artist say it. When people imply that their little doodles, or "sculptures" (I saw one where a man literally just put a cardboard box on a pedestal and called it a "sculpture") deserve to stand alongside works in the Lourve, I just want to scream at them.
Oh, and cute bird, my sister has a quaker parrot, he loves to interrupt her too :)
Joschlewinski said it good. Anyone can learn to paint or sculpture something you recognise. That is just copying what you see. It just needs skill and craftsmanship but a good artist - and their are not many good ones about - will try to show you something you have never seen before. That is very hard to do. People say to me I could paint like Picasso or Mondrian but anyone could copy whan they have done. Try painting like no one has ever painted before. P.S. Love the budgie.
Haha, fun video. :) And I agree: while it's cool to look at how putting different colors together, etc. affects how you see them, many of these works strike me more as something that belongs in a science book about how eyes work than in a museum as art! Ah, well...
And there's birdy again! He's adorable, and seems to just love you. Love how he carries on conversations with you, and obviously trusts you to let you play bite him. Too many people neglect these little guys, glad to see you don't.
@kimberlily1983 haha yeah he feels very safe in our home :) we let home roam around most of the time and he's usually in my room with me and doesn't really leave me alone! He follows me where ever I go, he's barely in his cage unless it's his bed time (which most people have a problem with this but our house is very safe for him to do so).

I feel the term "modern art" is a term of the past. Art nowadays is more like "psychological art". It's more about the feeling and emotions and the psychology of the viewer or the artist rather than the actual physical "piece". Most of the time, the actual art piece is neglected. I would like a return of realism myself though...
and the bird is too cute! it sounded as if it was complaining that you tried to eat it.
I agree with you, modern art SUCKS! I can step on a water bottle, wrap it in tinfoil, cover it with glue, call it art and VOILA! Instant millionaire. Some of it is interesting, and some of it is a lame excuse for "talent". Glad i'm not the only one that doesn't like most of what modern art has to offer. Oh and if i steal your bird will you get mad?
You don`t like modern art because there is no one who explains you what is beautiful or not. When you was a child your mother told you you painted great when you paint real. Don`t just paint lines! You have to do it like this: and she showed you an example. And it`s right: To paint realistic you need skills. But you dont`t invent something new, you just follow the steps everybody understands. You don`t create. You imitate.

@Joschlewinski Nobody taught me how to draw. I taught myself, my entire life, hence my personal style and technique is different in itself. You say I am imitating? Excuse me but you can be original and different with your art by still displaying artistic ability and skill. Painting shapes and splatters isn't "inventing" or being original. Don't assume that I don't "invent" just because all you see on this channel is realistic portraits. You haven't seen ANY of my original and personal paintings.
@LenaDanya Agreed splatters and random brush waving anyone can do is not creative or skilled.
Art mean a different thing to alot of people.
Sure it may mean something to certain eople especially the creator with a work of 'art'.
But to me art that should be displayed in a gallery or somewhere should have took some actual skill, time, and patience in stead of some 'emotional' orgasm of throwing paint onto a damn canvas.
@Joschlewinski AS I continued to say in my video, there are some very interesting abstract works. Before criticizing, next time gather some more facts about someone you know nothing about. Nobody has to teach me what is beautiful either. I can look at something and decide for myself if it is beautiful or not. Everybody has different taste, and I am entitled to decide for myself.
I understand what you mean. For instance,I don't get Jackson Pollock. Also,the whole ashcan school perplexes me. I'm not saying that art is'nt good unless it's representational,but that it is'nt worth much without basic mastery of artistic skills such as composition,perspective,etc. I don't particularly like Picasso,but it's easy to see that his abstractions revealed a artist grounded in the fundamentals.
Great video and you're so right...what passes as art these days is sometimes pathetic and rivals 3rd grade scribbles...Lena oh Lena...when are you going to marry me? *sigh*
I mean, they say you'd only need a slightly bigger Large Hadron collider than ours.. and BAM, you create a new universe in another dimension. It's very possible some apprentice black hole maker created ours, cause it does kinda suck.
Anyway, love the way you think and act. Maybe the apprentice universe creator didn't entirely suck then. After 13 billion year came Lena Danya.. lolz.
Totally awesome, I subscribe to your views. Yet the squares and triangle painters from like, the 1920's.. like Dutch Piet Mondriaan, en De Stijl group.. they wanted to teleport you to paradise, with simpler, clearer lines, that were a Platonic mirror of that paradise.
But yeah I much rather look at a Rembrandt, Vermeer or Velazquez, or modern figurative art. It's true you can make a career in modern art, admitting you lack all of Rembrandt's or Van Gogh's skillz.
Modern art is the product of the university trained "artists " and all the dingle berries that circle jerk themselves into a frenzy when they speak of art. The term itself is meaningless but I love the way you say wormhole.
I feel the same way about music these days! There is so much CRAP out there, and I find it offensive to those of us who actually put thought, effort, and talent into it... :)
lol ok just realised commented on a really old video of yours lol....so just repeating it here really lol. would you draw Bruce Lee as a request? =) By the way your sense of humour is great lol
I know what you mean about modern art. They are two examples I can think of that are just as bad as a drawing of a triange. One was a light bulb turning on and off in an empty room (seriously) and the second was that stupid, no one knew it was actually art. It was a crack in the floor of the museum. Everyone (as any normal person would) just walked past it, thinking "When are they going to fix that".
Excellent vid. The look on your face from 2:20 to 2:27 is PRICELESS! It's not that the bird spoke, no, it was the notion you were attempting to decipher WHAT it was trying to say.
Plus, i fully agree with the majority of your Modern Art rant. Where can i catch that bus?!?!?!?
Wow, I'd like to buy that for literally millions of dollars Lena. Genesis is a work of genius! All I need is your credit card details and I can forward you the monies straight away :P
You are a thousand times the artist most of these self professed "artists" are. I have seen monkey prints be called art. I have also seen bloody napkins hanging from lines be called art. If you have to "interpret" what the art is, than it is not art. It is nonsense. Making a mess out of a nice canvas does not make you a genius. It makes you a child. A child that can't paint, mold, sculpt, or anything else for that matter. Sorry for the rant. It has bugged me for years. Keep posting sweetie.
oh my gosh i know! I HATE IT TOO!!! it's complete and utter RUBBISH! my old english teacher told us that she went to an art show, and there was 10 buckets with different levels of cement in them, and it was "Modern Art". what the hell?? :L x
i love parakeets! i always had one that was bonded with me. they're so intelligent. now i have five but they're all bonded to eachother. we have a very large cage for them to fly around. still love them.
I know EXACTLY what you mean! Im in a contemporary art history class right now and I ask myself the same thing! Supposedly it's how artists dealt with the aftermath of the holocaust, but I've always thought that some of those really weird abstract expressionists figured they could never be as great as say Michelangelo or jacques luis david so lets just splatter some paint on a canvas or draw some basic geometric shapes and call it art! YAY!
This has been flagged as spam show

So I put it to you that someone can have all the drawing talent in the world and only be a graphic designer and on the other hand someone can have no drawing talent and be a great artist.

Art should be aesthetically pleasing rather than purely ideological. This is just a thought but...it seems modern art artists are full of it. If I were to take a piece of dog shit and put it in a museum, art snobs would probably try to find some deeper meaning to it.

Wow the comment thread on here is pretty much like modern art in itself. Technical skill means dick compared to creativity and intention, when there is meaning behind the simplicity it can become complex. Clearly half the people here just want something pretty. You know it's nice that you can draw a near perfect portrait of some one, or paint your favorite bob ross landscape, but then all you have is some simple picture that only looks nice to the eye. Finish art history. Then learn about art.

just the other day I visited a modern art museum. Canvases with a few scribbles, a fishtank with basketballs, stacked cardboard boxes and a normal looking chair. There was a time when being considered an artist required a degree of talent. Nowadays you can pick a stick off the ground and call it "art". Sad days we live in.

Okay. Lets see you sell that page of scribbles for millions of dollars. I think its kind of ironic that you tried to show us how easy modern art is, but you wound up proving that its not easy.
philnoll 1 year ago
@philnoll Modern art is not easy. I myself, have created many works that would likely be classified between representational and abstract. And as I CLEARLY said in the video which CLEARLY didn't register in your brain, the modern art I was referring to is simplicity.. dumbed down to the simplest ability.. And yes, it is very easy. If you are telling me that the average human cannot draw some squares or scribbles and lines then you are deeply insulting not only yourself, but humanity.
LenaDanya 1 year ago
@LenaDanya I don't really need a lesson in history. I understand that some art movements were respected for being daring and bold. But Matisse and Rothko are talentless hacks just because they reduced their art to simplicity. Also, their art is far from being scribbles on a piece of paper. Can you give me an example of famous art that is just scribbles?
philnoll 1 year ago
@philnoll sorry. I meant to say Matisse and Rothko AREN'T talentless hacks. lol

@philnoll Oh of course Rothko's work was sooooo unique and original like WOAHH totally different and innovative, SO kewlz!!!!111
But if you honestly want to say that they compare to the works of caravaggio, jan van eyck, michelangelo, and such artists, then I really feel no need to waste anymore time replying to your comments.

@LenaDanya lol. Oh yeah, it must have gotten lost on my simple mind. Boy, you are really condescending. Well first of all, 16th century art sucks. No-one wants to look at heroic depictions of war generals and crap like that.
Anyway, I think part of the point of minimalist art was to make you angry. Looks like its working.
philnoll 1 year ago
@philnoll Hahaha "heroic depictions of war and crap like that" Trailing back to what I said, take an art history class or at least do a shred of research and then maybe you'll at least sound like you know what you're talking about... then I won't sound so condescending to you. Caravaggio's work was deep, intense, complicated, symbolic, and completely beyond just what you see. Just as your pretty colors and shapes and squares and such can have meaning to them so can something representational

philnoll 1 year ago
@philnoll If those artists scribbled some garbage onto a paper i'm sure today it would sell for quite a large sum of money because they're a part of history. But that is beyond the point, the scribbles were not meant to be taken so seriously, as I am clearly being sarcastic in this entire video, my apologies for assuming that this would be easy to understand for the simple mind. Matisse was more abstract than simplicity, as for Rothko back to what i said about the shapes.
LenaDanya 1 year ago
@philnoll secondly, the reason those works sold for so much, at the time they were created, the art world/industry was going through changes after impressionism and the works were respected for the somewhat rebellious, as such had not been done before. Seeing as art about a century and a half ago wasn't taken so lightly. Education was strict and schools were incredibly prestigious. Please learn your history before saying anything else.

Joschlewinski said it good. Anyone can learn to paint or sculpture something you recognise. That is just copying what you see. It just needs skill and craftsmanship but a good artist - and their are not many good ones about - will try to show you something you have never seen before. That is very hard to do. People say to me I could paint like Picasso or Mondrian but anyone could copy whan they have done. Try painting like no one has ever painted before. P.S. Love the budgie.

I feel the term "modern art" is a term of the past. Art nowadays is more like "psychological art". It's more about the feeling and emotions and the psychology of the viewer or the artist rather than the actual physical "piece". Most of the time, the actual art piece is neglected. I would like a return of realism myself though...
and the bird is too cute! it sounded as if it was complaining that you tried to eat it.

I agree with you, modern art SUCKS! I can step on a water bottle, wrap it in tinfoil, cover it with glue, call it art and VOILA! Instant millionaire.

You don`t like modern art because there is no one who explains you what is beautiful or not. When you was a child your mother told you you painted great when you paint real. Don`t just paint lines! You have to do it like this: and she showed you an example. And it`s right: To paint realistic you need skills. But you dont`t invent something new, you just follow the steps everybody understands. You don`t create. You imitate.

@Joschlewinski Nobody taught me how to draw. I taught myself, my entire life, hence my personal style and technique is different in itself. You say I am imitating? Excuse me but you can be original and different with your art by still displaying artistic ability and skill. Painting shapes and splatters isn't "inventing" or being original. Don't assume that I don't "invent" just because all you see on this channel is realistic portraits. You haven't seen ANY of my original and personal paintings.
LenaDanya 1 year ago
@LenaDanya Agreed splatters and random brush waving anyone can do is not creative or skilled.
Art mean a different thing to alot of people.
Sure it may mean something to certain eople especially the creator with a work of 'art'.
But to me art that should be displayed in a gallery or somewhere should have took some actual skill, time, and patience in stead of some 'emotional' orgasm of throwing paint onto a damn canvas.
jaknife99 1 year ago
@Joschlewinski AS I continued to say in my video, there are some very interesting abstract works. Before criticizing, next time gather some more facts about someone you know nothing about. Nobody has to teach me what is beautiful either. I can look at something and decide for myself if it is beautiful or not. Everybody has different taste, and I am entitled to decide for myself.
LenaDanya 1 year ago
I understand what you mean. For instance,I don't get Jackson Pollock. Also,the whole ashcan school perplexes me. I'm not saying that art is'nt good unless it's representational,but that it is'nt worth much without basic mastery of artistic skills such as composition,perspective,etc. I don't particularly like Picasso,but it's easy to see that his abstractions revealed a artist grounded in the fundamentals.

Totally awesome, I subscribe to your views. Yet the squares and triangle painters from like, the 1920's.. like Dutch Piet Mondriaan, en De Stijl group.. they wanted to teleport you to paradise, with simpler, clearer lines, that were a Platonic mirror of that paradise.
But yeah I much rather look at a Rembrandt, Vermeer or Velazquez, or modern figurative art. It's true you can make a career in modern art, admitting you lack all of Rembrandt's or Van Gogh's skillz.
And I totally dig MULTIVERSE!

I know what you mean about modern art. They are two examples I can think of that are just as bad as a drawing of a triange. One was a light bulb turning on and off in an empty room (seriously) and the second was that stupid, no one knew it was actually art. It was a crack in the floor of the museum. Everyone (as any normal person would) just walked past it, thinking "When are they going to fix that".

You are a thousand times the artist most of these self professed "artists" are. I have seen monkey prints be called art. I have also seen bloody napkins hanging from lines be called art. If you have to "interpret" what the art is, than it is not art. It is nonsense. Making a mess out of a nice canvas does not make you a genius. It makes you a child. A child that can't paint, mold, sculpt, or anything else for that matter. Sorry for the rant. It has bugged me for years. Keep posting sweetie.
