It's not bad, it's just not a useful topic of conversation. You don't want to talk about art, you want to talk about your own aesthetic taste. I have nothing of substance to say on the subject, just as you have nothing of substance to say about my aesthetic interests.

I certainly didn't mean to do that. Like what you will, I don't care one way or another. But don't pass your personal aesthetics off as a discussion of art.
Here's what I learned about your taste:
- You don't want to discuss politics in art (I'll get my politics elsewhere")
- You give some credence to "craft" (I bet you say things like "My 3yr old monkey could paint that")
- You think the market has spoiled it
Whatevs, dude. Have fun at the Great Museums.
