Every time I am in a modern art gallery I meet at least one person who don't know how they got in that place. They feel uncomfortable with the fact that they don't get artist intention and simply don't understand the meanings of these works of art.
In the past artists had to follow specific rules which were created through the years. Basically they used to copy famoust art gurus all the time and just changed some details but the idea and topic of the painting was the same. It is also caused by the fact that old paintings are all very realistic so we know what are we looking at but from the time that impressionism appeared in the art world it started to be more complicated.
I think that we should be more educated about modern art to be able to interprate it without so much effort. We should also have more guides in museum and art galleries who can tell us more about works of art.

Oh, yes. There is literally NO artistic education in Poland and, as a result, people are just not interested in art. Especially modern art, which requires an open mind and some intellectual preparation as well.
OdpowiedzUsuńThat's so true! I can understand them in some aspects, because interprating for example a square on the wall maybe hard. In school we are learning only about past and than have difficulty to find yourself in the present.
OdpowiedzUsuńi don't think that we even have this type of artist education in Poland. It teaches children how to paint rather than giving knowledge about art.
