"This is modern art"

Viewing Matthew Collings's film over what is modern art now and what it use to be in the past made me think of rock music. As i watched and learn the life's of well known artists i can say that they each had a purpose to there paintings. Whether it was to show their inner emotions or maybe an obsession towards something. I compare this to rock music  because when i think or hear rock music i think about sex,drugs, and alcohol. When i see Pablo Picasso's paintings they are mostly about sex and nudity. It was like describing a male sex fantasy in a picture. Some of his work was also about death. Sex and death were both of Picasso's themes in some of his art work. Looking at Jackson Pollock's paintings and learning about his life made me understand more of where he came up with such paintings. He turned something meaning less to something extraordinary. He made his addiction of alcohol and anger problems to give him the capacity and intelligence to come up with such art. It may not look like art in the process, but at the end it turns out to be something beautiful. They turned something ugly into something amazing and significant. Focusing on their work instead of how their life's where or the addictions they had, it made them become such bright talented artists.
