Attempting to explain modern art to a non-art person is like trying to explain to a mouse how a bird flies. It's a waste of time.
Art is a wonderful thing and you don't need to get "it", ...

Incredible!
It's as if you hit for the cycle of modern art idiocy. Mouse-bird, non-art person, a child could(n't) do that... And then you actually put quotation marks around
IT!
You're a caraciture. Have you ever had an original thought?
Listen up sling blade, there is "nothing" "to" "get". Modern Art really is just paint splatter, and it really is just a pig's head in a glass case, and it really is just old car parts welded together.
The people that pretend to like modern art are the same people who think Barbara Steisand is good looking with her enormous blower. I gaurantee that David Geffen tried his damndest to like that ridiculous Pollard drip painting that he paid $140 million for. But in the end he just moved it to some other rich poser. Here's what you get for your money:
Oh, I'm sorry. I posted a picture of my drop cloth.
And a child COULD do that (and that's damning with faint praise):
Child fools art crowd with kethcup
I could walk into the MOMA with a gas can and a match and clear out the entire inventory. It would take about 2 weeks to replace it all and no one would be the wiser.
