Unfortunately the art that is bought for the most money is often not relevant to the skill or ability of the artist to capture something true about the human condition, but reflect the whims and taste of the ultra rich and wealthy, however good or bad that may be.

@Forcoy Ah, I see now 👍

@Forcoy I actually think this is a bad analogy. Pink Floyd albums can be purchased and enjoyed by the masses, and over time they made that money through merit, clearly something people love. Then you have Mark Rothko, an aristocrat selling art in expensive galleries to cultural elitists spending millions to keep a one of a kind product for themselves to use as an investment vehicle, they may not even care what it looks like.

@calebsmith1548 how could there be good or bad ideologies? Why dont we want to make love to piles of vomit and feces? Some art seeks a greater truth which transcends into something deeper within ourselves, other things are fads that take paragraphs to explain so you can understand why they are "good".
