Modern Art

How do we view modern art?
" Beauty resided in the thing of beauty itself"-Plato while Thomas Aquinas said:"beauty is that which pleases when seen". Modernist philosopher comments:"we all have a faculty of taste or an- apparatus of judgement inside us which gives us the capacity to judge wether a thing is beautiful or not.In other words, A beauty meter inside us which need no thinking.
Step 1 in looking for modern art is -Do not think just look at the piece and see if you feel good about it.

Step 2 forget who painted it.

Step 3 feel the artwork.

Be aware beauty is universal. This beauty experience come from something inside us, which is neither rational or selfishly motivated.
