There are myriad objective and measurable techniques by which we can determine if art is good or bad. Mastery of the medium is one. Notice how everything is muddy and streaky. There are no solid forms. This makes for terrible watercolor. Another is the subject matter. Are we supposed to believe that anorexic corpse-like women and distorted figures with children’s toys are not cliché? Furthermore we can criticize this as bad figurative work. Since it is obviously not painted from life, it is obvious that everything is out of proportion and that doesn’t need to be criticized. However, it is all flat and 2 dimensional, and child-like. Picasso painted like a renaissance master when he was 15, so he earned the right to paint in a child-like manner, and even in his former work, his mastery was evident. There is no mark of a master’s hand anywhere on this art.

I’m not a prick, I’m just sick of the decadence, laziness, and lack of class that runs rampant through our world. I’m sorry if I hit a nerve or something. I’m just saying what’s on my mind.
