Ugly art

Art used to aspire to the Profound and/or Inspiring and/or Beautiful.  The "art community" of museum heads, critics, and gallery owners now promote the standard of New/Different/Ugly.  Artistic standards have declined to the level of personal expression alone even if it is silly, pointless, or purely offensive.

Without aesthetic standards, we have no way to determine quality or inferiority.

"Why is modern art so bad?"  Artist Robert Florczak doesn't mince words as he explains what so many have noticed but often don't dare to voice.

Art should elevate.
