Rothko defaced
This is a tweet in response to an article published on Sky News webpage (8 Oct. 12)on Rothko defaced at Tate Modern.
I see a lot of you do not understand modern art. Well Tate modern attracts more visitors (over 5 million) than any other art gallery in the UK. so clearly lots of people do love and appreciate modern art.
I do not understand why people want to watch a bal kicked up and down a ptich into a net and find it mind numbingly boring. But I would not celebrate someone burning down a football sadium and say "it is a stupid game anyway".
Our art is the greatest achievments of our civilisations. Whether it be Shakespeare, Picasso or the Angel of the North. This is the expression of what we are as a race and what is in our souls. But I understand there will always be those who think kicking a ball around is the height of man's achievments. I always find it funny how those that love watching ball kicked around are the ones who look down their noses at those that seek something more complex in life.
