Most people who do not study arts don’t understand it. It’s pretty simple, art has become extremely sophisticated and people who are not into the whole art movement can have a very hard time understanding what art really is. It’s not for fuckin happy campers anyways. To make a long story short: “The engine for art is innovation.”

You can paint a pretty picture? You can draw your grandma perfectly? You can create some abstract art? Been there done that. As long as you can’t deliver something new, please head over to the applied art section of the world. You might find a job in the design industries. After all, the last thing that art is about, are beautiful pictures. Let’s take Marcel Duchamps Pissoir, most people simply don’t get it, that’s sad enough. Art is simply one fucked up and sophisticated process, that has to be questioned, who are the people who say what art is and what is not? What can art do and what can’t art do? Art should not please you. It has to be a challenge. And it has to be something new. Something unqiue. Something that has yet to be done.

The moment you think you understand a great work of art, it’s dead for you.

Start with Duchamp to see the first glimpse of real art, then visit the conceptual artists of the 60’s to see radical concepts and then, once you arrive in our time start hugging street art, as it is the purest art right now.

Screw it, most modern artists don’t draw well… don’t ask someone who calls himself an artist if he can draw or paint well, just shut up and ask what he does. You can determine now if he is an artist, or even worse, a faker.
