The contemporary art movement, for example, is a total joke. I saw one piece that was simply a canvas that was painted red - that sold for something like 40 million dollars.
The question of who gets to decide what quality art is is a good question... and it's not one I pretend to have the answer to. But I think we can definitely decide what art is not. And painting a canvas red and selling it for $40 million is not art. And if someone argues that it is, I have some beachfront property in Idaho to sell them.
Yes, I certainly agree. But I see very little chance that such a painting will still be considered worth anything in the long run. In the long-term, even the critics get sorted out.
I hear you. I've always found the world of painting fascinating. Can you recommend a course or a book I could try?

If you are looking for something which is a general introduction that doesn't go into overwhelming detail, I could recommend the book 50 Paintings You Should Know. However, since that includes both religious art and modern art which you wouldn't likely appreciate, it might be better for you to find a good book on a specific artist whose work you enjoy, and go from there.

I don't mind learning about modern art, I just generally don't find any of it all that compelling. Learning is fun though

May as well learn about music as well.
Art and music have been close friends for a long time now.
Historically they are so intertwined.
I don't think I said what I meant to explain, or explained what I meant to say.
I think that to understand any art, you have to understand what was happening politically, religiously and artistically at the same time.
It often doesn't make a lot of sense without that, unless of course it's a pretty picture and holds its own without explanation.
