Modern art questions

In this video Matthew Collins discusses how beauty is not present in modern art because beauty is easy to accept and that’s a problem to artists. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, he said. Although it was not accepted at first modern art is becoming more and more popular. Rather than destroying natural beauty, modern art is portraying that beauty in a different way to fit present times.

1. Why was it so hard for Jean-Michel Basquiat to give interviews and talk more about his art?
2. What sets the beginning and end of an art period?
3. Does it matter what critics say about a particular art piece?
4. As time progresses do people demand different kinds of art or is it that artist impose their new art into the audience?
5. Why do artist often end up in drugs or deep depression despite their success?
