Should you have doubts about Modern Art, its isms, critics
and artists such as Pollock, Rothko, de Kooning, and even Cezanne, Picasso, and
Matisse. This book will offer you a view from the other side. After ninety
years of Artspeak jargon, it's time for some serious counter criticism. To that
end, I will supply understandable technical reasons for rejecting that facet of
modern art that should really be called Modern Academic
This book is for the general reader
to whom I offer serious points written in clear English couched in humor rather
than inflated academese, along with relevant personal experiences in the art
world and my amusing adventures in art education. High value Modern Art is the
creation of a “System” a clever exercise by dealers, critics and curators
designed to con rich buyers who feel they must cover the walls of their
mansions with fashionably painted investments.
By opposing the guardians of
fashion and the manufacturers of its high priced products embellished with coveted
signatures, this book will undoubtedly offend many people. So before my
detractors send out their police dogs and accuse me of writing a book that is
analytical, negative, sarcastic, contrarian, cynical and clearly disrespectful,
let me assure them here and now, that they are completely correct.

Picasso Prince of Ugliness
The chapter,
Picasso
Prince of Ugliness in my book “Modern Art a Portrait of Mediocrity”, quotes
the his often quoted famous statement referring to children and Raphael : , “When
I was their age I could draw like Raphael, but it took me a lifetime to learn
to draw like them.”
"The closest Picasso came to Raphael was when he stood next to one in a museum."

" I have been endlessly confronted with the final defense of Official Modern Art which roughly distills into two arguments, “I like it,” and
“you “don’t understand it.” No one can refute what adds up to saying “I like
it,” other than to saying, “I don’t like it.” “You don’t understand it,” is
another matter. The counter arguments to that are found throughout this book."
Quote from my book, Modern Art a portrait of Mediocrity.

Picasso’s early drawing was average art
student. His famous charcoal copies of sculpture are bad copies from Charles
Bargue, the main book used by students at the time. Picasso was a third
illustrator.
Early on some idiot critic claimed he could draw like Raphael and
all the idiots who followed repeated it. “The closest Picasso came to Raphael
was when he stood near one in the museum.”

My book, "Modern Art a Portrait of Mediocrity" explains exactly why suckers pay big money for Future Garbage like childish drawing, splats and schmiers of paint or potsches of color.
