No, I'll bet he fought his way out of poverty when Obama came along and gave out food stamps to everyone. Along with lower rent and almost no taxes, the poor really don't need to do anything.

Dunno, it's just giving poor people an excuse to do a whole bunch of nothing all day, and objecting is somehow discrimination.

Music is art but has no appearance. Debate is art but has no appearance. Clearly, the point of art is not mainly appearance.
But we're talking about modern art here and modern art isn't music.
Everybody ought to learn history but few need become historians. Art is a primary source for history. The Caves at Lascaux are 100% art and 100% history. Art and history are seldom distinguishable. READ => Simon Schama's "Dead Certainties"
They may be intwined but art (specifically modern art) is something that you visualize, not something of history. In schools, history is one subject while art is another.
- Most art historians agree that the Mona Lisa is a portrait of the Italian noblewoman Lisa Gherardini, wife of Francesco del Giocondo. The earliest portrait of someone not noble that I can think of in the Caves at Lascaux. The painting hung in the baths at Fountainebleu for the first 300 years where it was seen by Kings of France and their guests, admired but hardly famous. In fact, da Vinci himself was not particularly famous for 350 years after his death. Napolean's admiration sparked some interest but the work was not even on the first floor of the Louvre until art critics like Pater and Gautier began publishing magazine articles about her in the mid-19th century. At the same time, Napolean's invasion of France had plundered the diaries and notebooks of da Vinci and brought them back to France, where they were slowly being translated and wondered at. Victorian England is the culture that made da Vinci famous and the Mona Lisa came along for the ride. Without all that back story, the Mona Lisa would probably be just another old portrait at the Lovre, of which there are thousands.
Sure

Art's main point isn't history though, it's how it looks like. If you want to learn history become a historian. And the Mona Lisa was famous because it was one of the first portraits of someone not noble.

I'm not saying a 2-year old could recreate the girl with the red balloon. I thought that the piece looked very nice. The whole concept I'm not getting is how putting a painting through a shredder and calling it modern art makes it worth more. Is it cause it's like a bold move or something? The art itself won't be famous for how it looks then, it'll only be famous for its history.

@oromagi
I'll guess this shredded piece is worth more now than the non-shredded version then?

Maybe it was like some medieval punishment where they'd chop your balls off if you were a thief.

@DynamicSquid
Yes, if you're confused you should step back and look at the whole picture. (Hint: if it's a sculpture you might want to look on the "backside")

@DynamicSquid
While I 100% agree with you on this I'm going to change your mind anyways.
Modern art usually has much more than meets the eye. For example, in a museum of modern art, I saw 3 white canvases that I scoffed at, but upon reading the caption of the painting, I realized how the whole canvas was painted in white and made out to be a square shape to represent the foundation of all art.
