I typed "I hate modern art" into my search window and got your blog. I'm in the throws of extreme frustration because I'm a classical realist. It seems as though realism isn't being explored today. (I would love to be wrong about that.) People who can really draw or have potential are being discouraged from developing real skills by learning institutions that only respect the 'different' approach, the avant-garde. My personal favorites of the 20th. Century are the illustrators. Now digital imagery is replacing the working artist. Personally I long to see a revolution in the art world - a return to realism. The American Portrait Society is a stronghold of artistic principle, I always get a boost from checking out what the "few" are doing.Thanks for airing your opinions and listening to mine.Best regards,Solie
