[quote]I am opposed to this myself. Because modern styles of art is my favorite expression, I tend to take it seriously.
I feel one still needs to follow the same principles of that of a typical genre that art follows.
So when I here anyone say that abstract art, modern art or expressionism is something anyone can do, kind is one of my pet peeves.

Well, I think they are talking the really post-modern stuff like having an enourmous room and hanging a piece of string from the ceiling and people being like "wow, what meaning!" or like 3 blocks stacked on top of each other.
