In the art world, creating a whole new style AND getting a lot of publicity over it will guarantee a big following. Then again, the art world can be largely arbitrary.
For instance, the last time I went to the Art Institute, years ago, I saw this painting in the modern wing:
Sometimes, there can be more to abstract art than meets the eye, like Yves Klein creating an entirely new shade of blue and plastering it on everything, but, sometimes, I just don’t fucking get it.
Warhol, Picasso, and Pollock found new ways of revitalizing an art form that grew less and less vital every year since photography was invented. Warhol took the everyday bits of modern culture and turned them into art pieces. Picasso helped create cubism, imagining a single subject from several points of view and putting them on canvas simultaneously. Jackson Pollock hit upon the idea of Drip Painting and, in the process, distilled the whole medium into its very essence. There’s a reason these names are still remembered. Now, if only I could figure out Cy Twombly’s deal.
