Ok
I see what you mean
Most of what you see isn’t skillful
But a lot of art appears to be unskilled
This Jackson Pollock painting costs $140 million dollars … good luck telling art critics and art dealers that took no skill …

OP, you cannot dictate what is art...you can only say if it's good art and and art....that's it.
Everything else you are right about as it's your OPINION.
Remember art is subjective.

Whatever. Maybe was a skilled artist.
Maybe it’s true that photography forced painting to go into some abstract hell hole.
But I don’t get it.
Graff got nothing to do with hip hop breh, shyt started on trains in the early 70s and all the og writers listened to black sabbath, led zeppelin and so on. Writers today dont give a fukk about rap and are into minimal/house/techno. Graffiti is its on planet/subcultureHuh
You must be new to the genre. The elements are set.
The CIA paid that guy to make meaningless art to distract the culture from the ideological art being put out by socialists.Ok

I don't know if it was worth the money.

also, OP shytting on tags and throws and admiring burners is saying you appreciate basketball but only the 3 point shot. The beauty of the game is found in all of its elements; they are inextricably joined. OP has gotten a ton of mileage out of a troll post. If you like clean buildings, why live in NYCart in general is subjective. there are still people who will claim a genre of music is not music. OP you coming off as a boujee Karen and I usually rock with u
I don’t live in nyc. But I do work there.
It is true that I have trolled in this thread to some degree.
But I also maintain that graffiti is unattractive and as a broad truth, is almost always done as vandalism and contributes almost nothing to enhance the properties and neighborhoods that receive it.
Are there exceptions? Sure.
I know plenty of local graffiti artists I would definitely commission them to do my home gym, ,garage or workshop, but im technically in the culture.There is zero graffiti in your house.
Somehow you didn’t consider it real art to put on your walls.
it’s where the misfits thrive

Unpopular opinion:
Graffiti is not art.
It’s vandalism.
Every time I’m riding a train or subway in the city, I have to look at this crap on walls and highways and overpasses and it’s sad.
Most times you can’t even make out what things are supposed to be.
It’s ugly and ruins the beauty of the neighborhood.
To be fair: I’m not talking about commissioned works that may honor some famous person. Frankly that’s just a mural and can be done well.
But these stupid tags and bubble letters have got to go.
Banksy motion in the art world says otherwise tho
If money and popularity meant good then explain Cardi B.Banksy motion in the art world says otherwise tho

Don’t compare a trained artist to no stripper with ghostwriters
