It looks kinda nice I guess. But I dunno if I'd pay more than fifty bucks for it.

That's why I don't get art.
I'm sure there's a good enough reason for its value, but I'll never understand it.

Who is the artist? That's the only thing that makes that painting worth $43.8M instead of 6 bucks.

Yet people who say "Art is easy" never come up with or create the "easy works" until after they've seen someone else do them first...hell, even AFTER they see them, they still can't create them.

Well that's probably because when people typically think of art they don't think of lazy things like this. I don't care who the artist is, it is literally two pinkish-purple rectangles divided by a blue line. I know art isn't easy, but things like this don't help art's image.

Still better than that pretentious crap Andy Warhol made. Unless he took that photo of the tennis girl scratching her arse.

I once went to a modern art museum. The theme was construction. So the display was broken glass on the floor in a pile, sledgehammer holes on a wall, a dark hallway, Christmas lights tangled on a old rusty fishing boat all in one plug in (serious fire hazard), and vapor barriers on wall that are coming apart together. That modern artist that designed that exhibition was paid 5 million dollars. I need to become a modern artist. Oh yeah and there was random universe and black hole and super nova theories and facts stapled on the wall printed of a google search.

It is a piece by abstract painter Barnett Newman(January 29, 1905 – July 4, 1970). Most of his stuff looks like this. There's always a reason why artist make something look the way it does, always... it's just that we sometimes don't know why.

What should it have been instead that would have made you think "Wow, this guy worked really hard on this". I'm not saying that this painting took decades to complete, but "lazy" is a weird complaint to have since art can be literally anything.

It is lazy because it is something anyone with a paint brush can do in very little time.

It is lazy because it is something anyone with a paint brush can do in very little time. Yeah, but why would they? Would anyone see the things this guy saw or thought of that made him paint that? And can you really grade something by how long it took to physically create? I know the argument is frilly and a little nonsense, but this is what I think whenever someone tries to apply a hard rule to any artform.

I know the argument is frilly and a little nonsense, but this is what I think whenever someone tries to apply a hard rule to any artform. Yes.....yes you can grade something by how long it took to make. As for the first two questions. No, because it is stupid. Again when people think of art they don't generally think of something as simple as paint the canvas one color and then paint a single stripe in another color. I mean bravo to the guy for creating so simple that someone was willing to pay such a large sum for, but at the end of the day it isn't an impressive piece at all.
