no you couldn't

actuaally fuuckingggg hate people who dont like art in any meaningful way unless its a drawing of batman mixed with superman or some shit. All those videos where people "destroy modern art" by putting a random object in a museum and insulting people when they take pictures of it are so irritating. Like yeah im sure some of the people taking pics are kind of annoying but most people are just trying to find greater meaning and beauty in things especially when theyre in a museum specifically to do that. You arent badass for not liking art youre just boring and refuse to find something interesting or beautiful in things you have already decided you hate

#also very often those solid colour pieces have different goals than those described #sometimes they are just a flex of pure technical skill. getting a colour COMPLETELY EVEN or achieving a barely visible gradient..#BY HAND over a LARGE SURFACE AREA #is actually incredibly difficult. it's a high level skill. no one says a piece that does nothing but flex perfect anatomy 'isn't art'#or sometimes with solid colour pieces the work being displayed is THE COLOUR ITSELF. paint mixing and achieving certain depth and saturation #thinking of Yves Klein Blue but also those two artists that were feuding with their created colors a few years ago.#consider that not all art exists to be of visual interest to every possible viewer. pleasing YOU is not necessarily the goal.#it's always better to be curious than dismissive
