Art can be ugly

Modern art has taken so many liberties over what "art" truly means, it's breathtaking. Art has always had a political nature (that of the artist) but in the last few years, much of what is considered "art" has taking complete leave of its senses.

FYI - pics and PJW videos NSFW!

Today' modern "art" is strange, disturbing, repulsive, suggestive, blatantly sexual, misogynistic, blasphemous  (let's not forget this one) and outright demonic. I am no art scholar, and I know the saying "art is subjective," but there is no need, in my mind, to have this type of "art" forced on an unwitting public. It's completely unnecessary, and there's no real point to it. It's simply for show and shock value. Some of these "artists" are truly sick and demented. And no matter how much they put their work out there as "art" I can almost guarantee you the majority of people would be perfectly happy not to have to look at it. Yet it's all over the web, even if one isn't looking for it.

One of my favorite pundits, Paul Joseph Watson, brilliantly put into words (some naughty!) what "modern art" really portrays:

I believe I may have posted about this a few years back but I feel the need to post it again (below). These brutalist, somewhat controversial "sculptures" by Amaldo Pomodoro are located in several places around the world, many of them in some rather significant locations.

The two most significant locations are the matching set that are located, strangely, in front of the Vatican, with the other in front of the UN building in New York.

However, what I notice is that one of these sculptures (I can't recall which) has been replaced from an earlier, much creepier version, which featured hundreds of tiny "babies" trying to crawl out from within its depths, and the very name of the piece was something like "A New World Order." I kid you not. However, perhaps they had so many complaints about that particular version, it was replaced by something more palatable:

The VATICAN

The U.N.

I continue to search to find the original piece I remember (because it was so unnerving and creepy), and will post when I have found it!
