True
Modern Art is a tricky subject because it attracts such vitriol from traditionalists. The knee jerk reaction from advocates of modern art is to claim that traditionalists are standing in the way of progress and that modern art does have value and worth (emotional, political etc.).
I think the people that make this point have a good argument, but it's hard to maintain it when artists are wanking on paper and selling it.
It is upsetting how quick people are to put down modern art though.
