My chief objection to the non-realistic forms of art is the attitude of the artist. No matter what the medium - music, painting, sculpture, prose - the artist always seems to take the position, 'Well, if you can't grasp what I'm trying to say, it's all on you.'
Sorry mate, but if you paint three yellow cubes and a purple dot and title it, 'The Children of Dusseldorf, 1873', don't go all bitchy at me because my reaction is, 'Umm....whut?'
