i don't get it.
everyone in my art history class hates HATES Mondrian.
They say he's too simple, black lines and squares is pointless and shouldn't be on canvas.
I don't get it.
i LOVE Mondrian. I think his approach is so fucking revolutionary! Just the black horizontal and vertical lines that outlines the entire painting and the balance between the colors and space. no one did that! yeah there were those suprematism type paintings and such with like Malevich but i think Mondrian is so much more different than Malevich. Malevich i can understand is a bit erk. But Mondrian's concept was strong and artistic! Yeah it's simple but that was the fucking point! just gah! hearing all those students bash out Mondrian like he was some fluke! it confused me because am i missing a point? they are the art students. i am not.
the only person that seems to like Mondrian other than me in the classroom is my professor.
sigh.
everyone in the art class seems to hate modern art. Picasso, Kirchner, Matisse, Kandinsky... they all bash em like they're insane. their nonrepresentational art is too out there and too random to understand.
i look at their paintings and it makes perfect sense. that art speaks to me. brings out emotion. its not something that i stare at because its pretty. most of that stuff is pretty ugly actually. but thats not the point. its emotion, feeling on a canvas.
and i know the other students understand that. but they still hate it. i can't get why they can hate it.
