There is no symmetry, no continuity, no structural shapes of any kind. Just paint splashes using a select group of colors. If an average minded person can't grasp the meaning of any of his paintings, maybe it's because they are meaningless paintings??
Alternatively, what meaningfulness is the average person getting from Mona Lisa, or really any portrait artist? Why should a person have to have an art history background just to know how and why anyone cares about Rembrandt.
Art is about emotion, inspiration. Applying rules about what is and isn't art is missing the whole point and is subjectively meaningless. [Reply]

The average person isn't smart enough to "get" something from art. [Reply]

Yes and barely in time for the 2023 NFL draft scheduled to be in Kansas city, hopefully there will be no delays so it will ready for that major event.
I like the looks of the new airport and the old one certainly need to be upgraded and its a good idea to have some art sprinkled in it as people can have something to look at instead of staring at their cell phone all the time. Walk around check out the art and eat in one of the restaurants.
The city did bungle spectacularly it finally getting started but that's for another conversation.

Yeah, pretty much... the current/old airport was great for locals, but the first time I flew into KC as a visitor, I learned how terrible it is for everyone else. [Reply]
