Personally I think it shows no talent at all. In my local art gallery recently there was a blue square....how much did the artist get for something a small child could achieve? Then they make up stuff to say it represents this and that. It's like a group of people standing in a room making up rubbish about a few blobs of paint, each trying to sound intellectual when really they haven't got a clue what they're talking about. Proof of this is they put paintingc by a five yeard old and an elephant in a gallery and people managed to find meanings and discussed how fantastic the art was. Real talent is of portraits and landscapes that actually show a picture. It's just easy money for laziness. The unmade bed and glass of water, how can they justify that as art????? Come round my house just after I get up in the mornings and pay me thousands to look at my bed then.
I really really hate modern art. I don't know if you can tell at all.
Art has gone through many stages over the centuries. Originaly before written languages came to be it was a means of communication. Quick sketches on the ground left a message of dangers, hunting areas etc. After written languages came to be the purpose of art changed. The middle ages and the renaissance brought about a long lasting era of realism that began to die with the invention of the camera. At that point art no longer had to be the means to show what is, the artist became the tool to show what is not.
Modern art is always an experiment. Many schools formed and are still forming. In any era most of what is modern art will eventually find it's way to the trash pile. But out of the rubbish there will be pieces of significance that will survive and in several hundered years be appreciated as true art and works of genius.
Some examples: Monet, Manet, Joan Miro, Picasso, Dali, Vincent van Gough, all of which were seen as Modern Art and not understood in their day,
Junk eventually gets burned, art survives. To see what in today's Modern Art is actually art you will have to come back in 200 years and see what was preserved as having value.
Art is purely a personal matter. I love nature photography. Why? To give a visual form to my thoughts. One should never adopt an art to show to people or to put on display. If one really wants to do it, it should be done anonymously. Otherwise, fame, respect etc gets to your head. Art is an expression of being a human. Just like how language is an expression of being a human. The artist's art only represents the artist.
Just like how language and words are used to depict what is not, in the same way art can be used to represent one's yearning for what he/she is not or does not have.
Help me to escape from this existence
I yearn for an answer... can you help me?
I'm drowning in a sea of abused visions and shattered dreams
In somnolent illusion... I'm paralyzed
and regarding those blue blobs and accidental splashes of paint on canvas, meh, I wonder how someone can find "deep meanings" in that. Maybe the meaning of chaos or randomness? lol

Like I said, it either gives you a vibe or it doesn't. Personally, I find it hard to imagine getting a vibe from a blue square or light switches being flicked.
Peace be to any prophets I may have mentioned above. Praised and exalted be my Maker, if I have mentioned Him. (Come to think of it praise Him anyway.)
