There is a British comedian who said something quite apt.
He said, ‘I don’t get art. I can go into a gallery and be out in five minutes, just walking past all the pictures going, like it, don’t like it, like it, that’s rubbish. Mean while my wife in umming and ahhing spending several minutes at each piece. I don’t get art’.

I don’t get what people don’t get, frankly.
You just need to know a few basics of art history and read a 3-sentence explainer, it’s not fucking rocket science. Just open your mind a little bit and try to feel something. If the piece makes you angry or sad or annoyed, it’s still successful.
The million dollar auctions are something questionable and debatable, but a piece of post-modern art can be enjoyed and made by anyone, that’s the whole point.

Personally there is art I get and some I don’t.
Classic pieces I get and can get drawn right into them but some of modern stuff such as one guy who secured £80,000 of lottery money to kick a tin foil tray down Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow, I think it was, calling it performance art.
