In response to Julia's question

"Do you like modern art? If you do, what do you like about it?"-Julia Ashton

To be honest, I am not a big fan of modern or contemporary art. I have visited MassMOCA a few times now, and I always have a hard time getting into the exhibits. Some of the pieces can be cool, but most of the time, I end up becoming bored and confused after about 20 minutes. While this is only my opinion, I have a hard time calling something art that I use to make in kindergarten class. I understand modern and contemporary art is more intellectual and less emotional than other forms of art, so in that case to understand it, I would probably have to become fluent in the language of modern art. I guess my dislike of modern art stems from my lack of understanding.

Q: Are there any modern pieces of art that you think are more emotional than intellectual in nature?
