    I hate that asinine shit when it comes to modern art. Not the art itself but the ridiculous blubbering over whether or not it’s real. You have to ask what qualifies as art to these people. Is it the finished product? Is it just skill that it takes to create it? Is it the feeling one gets while creating it? Or is it the feeling one gets when consuming it? Perhaps it is a combination of all these things. If any of these are true, then certainly the line painting he saw qualifies.
