I think what you dislike is bad or low effort art, not post modernism. Just because piece of art denies the canon, or the classics, doesnāt necessarily mean it must eschew beauty, or be made without technical skill.
Apologies to anyone who knows their art history - Iām speaking in broad strokes here.
Personally, my beef is not only the low skill/effort a lot of the post modernism sculptures have, but also that their whole point, of making fun of āhigh artā, of museums and whatnot, was subverted. The subversion of art was subverted. Not even Banksy could fully escape the elitist assholes and even though that picture was shredded after the auction, itās still āvaluableā
I was in a museum last week that held some of the āgreatsā of modern and post modern movements, and I much preferred the other galleries.
Mark Rothkoās abstract expressionism:
Vs
Van Gogh.
For me, itās not even close.
