and its funny bc the same ppl who will defend rohtkos or mondrians or matisses to the fucking grave will look at a clementine hunter and SUDDENLY all that shit abt how art doesn't have to be perfectly rendered and its an exploration of style will go right out the window. i wonder why paintings like these arent as defended....no idea why tho (i know exactly why)
no art movement is precious enough where everyone is obligated to like it or get it tbh. if someone hates modern art so much where theyre compelled to pick up a paintbrush to prove how 'easy' it is then that's a win. if they hate it and it compels them to look for contemporary subjective artists that's a win. like the point of art isnt just to enjoy dumbly its supposed to evoke emotions and opinions and conversation
#but lets not wake it up#and again i say this as an ex non traditional art hater#like i used to hateeeeeeeee going to the place here that had clementine hunter paintings#but then one day it really clicked u know#i realized who she was and what she was doing by rejecting the predominantly white mode of artistic expression#she was a rebel! she was modern!#she was doing what picasso thought he was doing!
