This is an interesting topic.

I too thought most of this "throw paint onto a canvas and charge rich suckers thousands of dollars" is bullshit. But after seeing some Picassos IIRC, I realized, yes there is a method to the madness.

Even if the painting wasn't displayed in a fancy museum, I think I would still have thought it was "special".

But those "artists" that pour paint onto the canvas - complete bullshit.

If a five year old can do it - it's not art except to the parents of those "artists"
