there's certainly a lot of modern crap too -- nm - ty97 Nov 13, 17:52 10
- there's always crap, and always great stuff. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 17:54
- although a lot of that really does need to be seen in person - Reagen Nov 13, 17:54 8
  - this is true. Pollock in person is on another planet. there is a room of just Pollocks in the Guggenheim in Venice that was like bliss. -- nm - TFox Nov 13, 17:56 1
    - another one who's better in real life is Rothko. it's like a meditiation. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 18:06
  - some of the modern stuff is more about the idea of doing it, than the actual work. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 17:54 5
    - that I usually don't have much time for. I'm a big fan of the surrealists, though. -- nm - Reagen Nov 13, 17:55 3
      - for me it's a great big "it depends." I think a lot of it is just crap. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 18:07 2
        
        true enough. But that's still where I gravitate to. -- nm - Reagen Nov 13, 18:14 1
        
        I like the surrealists a lot, but they are not my fave. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 18:25
    - Or the color, or the canvas, or the art of looking, or... -- nm - the liioulu with extras Nov 13, 17:55
