Can someone explain the fries part ? I understand this is in reference to an order someone would make at a fast food restaurant, but what is the link ? what does it suggest ?
It suggests that art and literature are worthless, and if you have such a degree you’ll be working fast food, known as among the worst jobs (low paid and nobody has a lot of respect for fast food workers).
That all the arts degree will be good for is working in food service
There’s a piss stain that looks like the virgin Mary, you can study that for fweeeeeeeee
Art won’t make line go up. PRAISE LINE 🙏 NOTHING MATTERS BUT LINE!
When I’m hungry, fuck them art majors. When I’m bored though, also fuck them art majors.
If post modernism hadn’t eaten its own tail id have more sympathy.
Art is subjective, but for me being in a museum and going from Impressionism and post impressionism, and into a modern and post modern gallery is like a slap in the face.
In my experience, all I feel is it goes from beautiful paintings with high skill level used by artists to visually manipulate form and shape to create coherent but stylized images, to “check out this crushed oil drum, really makes you think huh?”
If u have to explain why your art is meaningful you have failed as an artist.
Really gives the impression of that feeling you get when a school project is due soon but you have no idea what to do and don’t particularly care to do it but know you have to do something if you don’t want to get a 0.
I think what you dislike is bad or low effort art, not post modernism. Just because piece of art denies the canon, or the classics, doesn’t necessarily mean it must eschew beauty, or be made without technical skill.
Apologies to anyone who knows their art history - I’m speaking in broad strokes here.
I was in a museum last week that held some of the “greats” of modern and post modern movements, and I much preferred the other galleries.
Mark Rothko’s abstract expressionism:

Van Gogh.
For me, it’s not even close.
The top one looks like light coming through closed shades. Kind of makes me of how think about how many people see a similar view before they get out of bed.

Idiot.
Lmao I went to art school. Used to hang at the state tech school tailgates across town because I like college football. Would always get this razz from my STEM buddies there but was mostly just fun. I actually cooked at a restaurant in town to pay for rent/beer money too haha.
Got sous and almost stayed in the industry after college but decided to go for it. Currently work in my art degree field. I make more than my STEM friends. Not that it matters really to me. Everyone should be able to earn a wage doing something they enjoy.
